What's New with Mason?

As my gorgeous guy quickly approaches his 2nd birthday, he continues to amaze us! We may be bias, but we think he is the smartest, sweetest, most adorable (until his brothers join us and then it will be a 3 way tie) little boy! Here are some things that my genius is doing:

1.  Mason talks like crazy, including sentences. I can't even count how many words he knows because he is constantly learning new words daily. He says "please" and "thank you" at the appropriate times. He also specifically requests foods that he wants. For example, eggs, cheese, and butter mommy is what I regularly hear in the morning. We don't even use butter on his food! Lol:)

2.  Mason also recognizes lots of colors. He points out the purple car and red Lightening McQueen when we watch the movie Cars. The colors he can point out are red, purple, yellow, blue, and green. 

3.  Mason also knows a lot of his letters and numbers too. His favorite book to read with daddy is the Star Wars ABC book. He loves this book. When he sees the letter J, he says, "J Jedi". I just have to accept the fact that my children will be Star Wars geeks just like daddy! Marc wants to name the twins Luke and Han because Mason knows those names already. No thank you:) 

4.  Mason has officially gone pee pee in the potty twice now. We were so excited and jumping up and down, but it has only been 2 times in 3 months. Lol! We still have a lot of work ahead of us.

5.  Mason got his second haircut and it was a SUCCESS! The trick... a lollipop and his best pal Poppa! Poppa got his hair cut first, and then got a lollipop. Since Mason is obsessed with Poppa, he wanted to copy him. The lollipop really helped a lot too! (See picture below)

6.  Mason has the memory of an elephant. This kid doesn't forget anything! On Tuesday nights I tell him Momma and Poppa are coming in the morning. The first words out of his mouth when he wakes up on Wednesday is, "Where Momma and Poppa?" He got a lollipop when he went potty, so on a regular basis he points to his potty and says, "lollipop mommy?" He never forgets:)

7.  Mason will probably have a profession within the music industry. He uses anything (plant, stick, food) as a microphone and sings into it. He head bangs to rock music and stares, as if in a trance, whenever we see live music. He can name the piano, guitar, and drums when he sees a picture of those instruments. He even pays the air guitar perfectly! Mason will definitely be mommy's musician:)

8.  Mason is obsessed with the dark. He loves hanging out in his room at night, with the door closed and lights off. I thought kids were afraid of the dark! Not my kid! He gets quite upset when I turn the light on.

9.  Mason is also obsessed with the Disney movie, Cars. He talks about Lightening McQueen and Mater over a thousand times a day. He has the cutest New York accent the way he pronounces Cars too. It is inevitable that the theme for his 2nd birthday will undoubtedly be Cars:)

10.  Mason continues to be my little lover. He hugs and kisses everyone, especially Poppa:) My favorite is when he puts his hands on my belly or kisses it. I don't think he fully understands that there are 2 babies in there, but then again there are days when I am in denial too:) I think Mason will be the best helper and love his baby brothers so much!

We love you little munchkin with all of our hearts!
