It's been so nice having Mason take his time learning to walk. So nice. The memories are fresh in my mind of those days when he was easy to hold and contain. Those days are gone, however. He's into everything! We're redoing the fireplace (chaos in the livingroom) so of course that's the first place he heads when he can make a break. That or the dog water. Or the cat food. Or the kitchen cupboard. I'm convinced that his decision-making process goes something like this:

• does it make a loud noise?
  
• can I break it?
• can I climb on it?
• can I push it over?
• can I make any noise with it?
• can I fit it in my mouth (unless it's healthy)
• can I spill it?
• can I use it to break something else?
  

If the answer is yes to any of those, great. If not, onto the next thing!
