We are Sarah and Jamie, 40 year-old fraternal twins and in 2010, our babies were born just 6 days apart! We created this blog to document our pregnancies...and our lives!!
Wow! I can't believe Mason is 2 1/2!!! The last 6 months have been both challenging and exciting with this very big boy!! He is still so kind and loving and usually happy! He has taken a new LOVE for basketball! I should say obsession!!!! He sleeps with a mini basketball and watches YouTube videos of the Ohio basketball team!
On the other hand, he throws temper tantrums, is a little too rough with sissy, and still gets out of his carseat once in a while! He's in a Jumpin Jellybeans class once a week and each class he throws a fit when he has to take off his shoes! He also drools a lot!!!!
He talks so much better now and is finally enjoying books. He's doing the same things Mya used to do: he memorizes the books we read him! He now wears a 4T shirt and 3 or 4t pants. He's just a big boy!
We have some changes coming in our life! We decided to sell our house! We got an offer the first day it was on the market! We then found a house we love and it's only 5 miles from where we are now! We have some busy months ahead as we pack up and move, but we are very excited! God is so good and we thank Him for taking care of us in all the little and big things!! :)
Mason is 2!!!! So....is this the terrible twos??? Yikes!!!! We had a fun weekend of celebrating! On Friday (Mason's actual birthday), we went out to dinner at Mellow Mushroom for some pizza then came home for cake. Then Sunday we enjoyed a nice family birthday party. He got some fabulous presents including a Harley Davidson big wheel (thanks, Aunt Sarah!), a motorized motorcycle (thanks, grandma & papa and aunt Kelly & gang), Ohio Bobcats clothes (thanks, grandma & grandpa) and more!
It's amazing how much can happen in the two short years of a little one! While Mason has been a challenge for us in many ways (hehehe!!), he has also caused laughter, joy, and much happiness in our lives! He continues to be curious, destructive, strong, and a definite BOY. But he is also very happy, friendly and kind. I yelled out "ouch" the other day when I cut myself with a knife and he came over and said "Mommy, are you ok?"!! When I'm walking him in the stroller, and he sees neighbors outside, he waves and yells "Hi, I'm Mason!"!! He runs up and hugs some of the moms that wait outside Mya's school every day. He says many more words than I can even count, and sentences too. It's still a little hard for other people to understand him, but I'm hoping his speech will improve quickly.
He was so consistent with his afternoon naps while Mya was at school, then all of a sudden a couple weeks ago, around 10AM, he started telling that he wanted to go to bed. So now he will wake up around 7:30, take a nap from 10-Noon and be up the rest of the day. He uses up so much energy in the morning, that I guess he needs an early nap!!!
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!)
