Reese visits Mason & Mya

While Sarah was out of town last weekend, Reesie got to spend the day with us!!!  She is such a doll!  Mya and I missed her soooo much when she left. (MR was asleep when I took most of these pictures!)

Mason is 23 Months!!!

Wow, MR is almost one!!!!

He is a little red-faced in this pic because he had been crying about something but yet wanted me to take his picture!!!

I can't believe this is my last post before he finishes his second year of life!!!!  We have seen such a huge change in him the last few weeks.  First of all, he talks sooooo much more now!!  I just can't believe how quickly he went from saying only a few words to saying at least 100 or more words and even phrases and short sentences.  I'm going to try to remember some of my faves so I have documentation: sissy's at school, I don't know, where is it, I'm not a monkey, and night night mommy love you.  He also sings along to many of the Nick Jr. songs, which is exactly like what Mya did!!!

He is still busier than ever!! I still have to clean up toothpaste out of the carpet, wash my white sheets and comforter waaaaay more than I need to because of dirty fingers touching them, and the destruction of electronics and other valuables continues!!  But it's just "stuff," and is all replaceable.  He is a very, very happy guy and loves people.  He says hi to little kids almost everywhere we go, waves goodbye to strangers, and warms up to other moms outside Mya's school very quickly (we usually arrive a little early so I can socialize with everyone!!!).

I ordered him a new pair of athletic shoes the other day in a 9W.  Mya wears an 11, so I can almost see him passing her by the time winter rolls around!!!  Yikes!!!  Is this boy going to slow down his super-sized growth spurt soon??!!!  I don't get much time away from the house by myself, but when I do, Mason always come screaming "Mommyyyyyyyy!!!" in the happiest voice ever!  You'd think I'd been gone for months!!  I love it!!!
My Mister is almost 2!  Wow, thank you Lord for this strong-willed child that I prayed specifically for over 2 years ago.  I can't imagine my life without him!!!

(P.S. Speaking of Strong-Willed, I have started reading a book by Dr. James Dobson titled The Strong-Willed Child......I hope to finish it by Mason's 2-year birthday and will share my thoughts on it!!)
