Praise the Lord for the fabulous spring weather!!! Mason loves being outside! I got the kids a little pool that connects to a bigger pool and he loves it! We also got a water hopscotch game that he thinks is a drinking fountain!!

Mason is 18 Months!!!
By Jamie
It's hard to believe that Mason is 18 months! He weighs 31 lbs. (97%) and is 35.5 inches (99%). He is saying more words now (more, Mya, grandpa, grandma, car, ball, and Oooo for the Ohio Bobcats O-H-I-O chant!). He rotates between two naps and one nap per day, depending on when Mya goes to school. He usually goes to bed at 8:00 and wakes up around 7:30. He continues to be soooo happy!!! He wears a size 8 shoe and mostly 2t tops. He is soooooo active, loves playing outside, and even climbed out of his crib a few weeks ago (yikes!!!). His doctor talked about potty-training, so we have decided to get started. We put Mya's old little pink potty in the bathroom, so he sits on it a couple times a day. I will probably wait until summer to actively work on potty training him and Jim insists we get him a boy potty soon! Poor Mason....our garage is full of pink cars, pink bikes, pink scooters and everything girly. We have to start buying some outdoor boy stuff for him!!
In just 6 short months, our little Mister will be 2!!!!! ( For those who don't know, we call him Mister for his initials MR!)

Mason is 17 Months!!!
Once again, lots has happened in the one month since my last post!!! Mason had a double ear infection, bronchitis, and just today he fell and cut his upper lip with his teeth (see above pic!)!!! He climbs up on the kitchen table via the chairs, he pulls things out of the cabinets, he basically destroys anything he touches, however, he is VERY HAPPY!!!! He says D-D-D-D (for Dora), Bye-Bye (blows kisses and waves much better now!), and I could swear he kept saying Kroger today when we were there, but I can't know for sure!
He took his first shower today! Mya has been taking them the last few days, so I decided to put him in with her today. Of course he loved it! I was shocked he didn't get into all the shampoo bottles and shower gels, but he seemed more entertained with the water coming down on him! He still takes two naps per day, usually about 1.5 hrs each. We have been taking lots of walks to and from Mya's school, thanks to the beautiful weather! It won't be long before we're heading to the zoo and pool!
I can't believe that my next post will be when Mason is 1 1/2!!!

Mason is 16 Months!!!
By Jamie
In just one short month since my last post, Mason has already changed so much! He is finally starting to repeat more words that we say. When my Mom came to visit this past week, she played the song "Back to the Manger" on her Kindle for him and he kept saying "Back!" He loves music! He also loves when he sees football and basketball games on TV....not to mention his excitement at the live OU games we go to see! He flaps his arms when he gets excited about something (or when he doesn't get his way!). He will still eat anything that we put in front of him! The good news is that he is better about not putting non-food stuff in his mouth! He wears size 18-24 mo. pants and 2T shirts. Mya is so proud of him! Her preschool teacher tells me often that she talks about him to all the kids and she always runs to the door to greet him when we pick her up!
He fell asleep on the way home from church this morning after eating an Oreo!

This coming Friday, Sarah is having a big sleepover for all the cousins at her house (no babies of course!)! We will be posting pics of that big event for sure!!

Mason is 15 Months!!!
By Jamie
Mason had his 15 month checkup today...he weighs 28 lbs 5 oz (90%) and is 34.25 inches (99%)!!!! He is actually slimming down a little, probably from his increase in activity, which has made me lose a couple pounds too...hehehe!!!
Poor Mason had pink eye and another ear infection on the Friday before Christmas! He was fine within a few hours of the medicine! But on a side note, as I was walking into Kroger with him to get his prescription filled that day (which was cold and raining), a lady yells out to me, "That would be a whole lot easier if you weren't wearing heels." What????? Yes, I was wearing high-heeled boots, but why did she say that?? Maybe I appeared to be struggling as I was walking through the rain carrying a 30 lb baby, I don't know, so I guess she was trying to be funny??? I just yelled back "yeah, I know." I love to wear things that make me feel better about myself....including high heeled boots! I sure never thought it would mean a stranger criticizing me for it!!!
So back to Mason.....
He is destructive and busy all day long! But he is happy! He wears himself out and sleeps pretty well. Mya still loves to play with him and pretend to be his second Mommy! She is so proud of him and introduces him to strangers! I can't wait to see how they are when they're older!!!
Jim watched him move a stool over to his kitchen in order to climb up on it to reach the phone. He took this picture and texted it to me....I almost had a heart attack!!!!!!
