mason's favorite things

i thought that i would share a few of mason's favorite things - and of course they aren't toys...

first is an area rug. any area rug. he loves to pull it up and flap it down over and over. here he is enjoying himself in the basement. i like madelyn's comment at the end where she says that the rug belongs to our family (not just mason).

next is the sheer curtain in the living room. he has always loved watching the light come through them, but now he can scoot himself over to them and play his own private game of peek-a-boo.

and i have saved the most versatile for last - a basket. even filled with toys, mason is too heavy to use it to pull up - he tips it over every time. he has come up with is own form of entertainment. i didn't really take too much notice of it until i realized that he was setting a toy on top of the basket and then reaching up to find it again. apparently, this is quite funny. he does it over and over laughing almost every time. i didn't put this first in the video montage, but i should have. its kind of a long video but i just think that he is so cute and wanted to show all the ways he uses the basket to keep himself busy. love.
