Happy Mothers Day

What a great Mothers Day weekend! I was blessed enough to spend the weekend in Lynchburg with my Momma!! There are so many days that I am overwhelmed with love for Mason, and this was one of them! There is nothing better then your child running to you and giving you a hug. This was technically my 3rd Mothers Day (since in 2008 I found out about Mason on Mothers Day weekend), but my 2nd with Mason. Last year I had to work, so I feel like this is my first REAL Mothers Day!! All I have to say is I am one blessed Momma!

Hello everyone! We are SSSOOO ready for our vacation round here!!!!!! Mason is doing good. He is recovering from a bilateral ear infection, and we have to go for a recheck on his ears this week. I am praying we can now stay well for a while. Been rough so far this year. We found out the sweet woman who took Masons 6 weeks pictures is moving out of state, so we took her up on one last photo shoot while she is still here.. http://jennyhughesphotography.blogspot.com/
We had a great time and can't wait to see how they all turned out. Mason is running and talking up a storm and is moving to the toddler room at daycare this week :(. He can pretty much say anything you try and get him to say. At least he will try REAL hard.

Spring has sprung

Spring is here. Mason is LOVING be able to play outside, though his allergies are really bothering him. Last Friday Mason began running a fever and it spiked really high on sat night. We took him to the doctor (cause he looked terrible) and he ended up having strep. He got some antibiotics and he started to feel better. Wed this week we went for Mason's 15 month check up. The doctor said he is doing wonderful. She was happy with how social and interactive he was. She said he was ahead with his language. She was also concerned about his breathing. She said he did not sounds so great and thought it was probably allergy induced. She asked us to start him on allergy meds each night, and then do some breathing treatments for a few days. Mason is feeling MUCH better now. Hope everyone else is enjoying this great weather as well.

All of a sudden he walks more then he crawls. It is sad, but so cute. I love how much fun a toddler is, but I could live with out the attitude. He now slumps in the floor and cries when he does not get his way! Mason is cutting all 4 molars, and I think they are really painful, so he has been quite grumpy for about a week. Last weekend Grandma came in town and took Mason outside all day Sat and Sun morning. Mason LOVED it. They walked around and picked up sticks and played with bubbles. Grandma was a HUGE help while we painted Masons bathroom!! I did take Mason to the park one day this week and he loved everything, but the swing. I think we will go back as soon as the nice weather returns.

Walking

We are walking!!!!! I cannot believe my baby is turning into a little boy!! It is bitter sweet. He is talking a lot now as well. Even his daycare teacher commented on how much he can say. His newest words are Papa (Laura's Dad), Apple, tick tock (clock), and he is now trying to say "Bi-bo" for his belly button. We try to work on a new word each week. He had a great time with Papa and Grandma this weekend. Papa took him for a ride on the golf cart and he played outside at Gigi and Pawpaw's. He LOVES to be outside (something else he tries to say). He is getting better and better each day with his walking and we know before long he will be running from us!

Poor Mason has had a rough few weeks. He had a bad case of RSV (which is a respiratory virus) and ear infections. He had high fevers and we had to give him breathing treatments. After about a week he was better. We went back to work and daycare and the next weekend he came down with another high fever and hand,foot, and mouth. He had sores all over his tongue and bumps on his arms and legs. So, we are finally all better and did I mention in all of it he got his 5th and 6th tooth. Whew, I hope that we are done with illness for a while. Masons new word is "ball" and he likes to point out everything that looks like a ball! When we went to the grocery store the other day we walked through the fruit and he was telling us there were balls there!!! :-) He also loves to blow kisses now so I put a video up of kisses!! Hope everyone had a great Valentines day!

We have had a busy few weeks. Sickness Sickness Sickness. Matt and I recovered from a GI bug fast enough to head to Lynchburg for the weekend for Mason and Olivia's baptism. It was a beautiful and very special day. Mason behaved very well. We came home and Mason became sick on Monday. After a few nights of high fevers I took him to the doctor to find out that he has 2 ear infections and RSV. He has been on breathing treatments 3 times a day and antibiotics since Thurs, and I think he is finally starting to feel better. Hopefully we have had our share of illness for a while. We are looking forward to having a healthy house again!! Grandma and Papa Woodroof will be here next week to visit!!! Enjoy the pictures!! Sorry that there will be no snow pictures (again). I don't think I can take Mason out in it, so maybe the NEXT snow storm he can go out!!!!!
