actually, he's 3 1/2 and my second baby is 14 months! it's so hard to see my boys grow up. it's been such a fun year with our sweet mason, though! he's been a trooper with all the changes this year. he was 8 weeks old when we moved across the country and then waited 7 more weeks to get into our house. we've done lots of traveling too and we're so glad that he's an easy-going boy. what a blessing to have him in our family!
mason is happy and full of mischief. he still looks so much like russell, except he has a curly mop of hair on his head that i refuse to cut for fear of losing the curls! he runs around these days and wants to do everything his brother does. he loves to climb and dance.
mason is mastering the sound effects that boys seem to inherently know. he likes to play cars and trains with calvin and makes a "woof" sound like a dog. he has learned to say "please" in sign language and "no" with his words and these are his two most-used communications (at least one is polite). he also says "hi," "hello," "mama," "dad," and "dog." oddly enough, he sits in time-out when we ask him to and seems to think it's pretty fun, which we need to work on. he's a good helper and likes to clean up and put his clothes in the basket.
mason has become a great eater, which is a total change from a few months ago. he loves fruit, veges, cheese, pasta, and any kind of meat. and, cake of course.
mason loves to give hugs and slobbery kisses. my favorite is how he puts his head on my shoulder and pats my back when i pick him up. we sure love this brown-eyed boy!
