2 year pictures

Mason had a trip to the park last weekend. The weather was beautiful and we thought it was a perfect day to take his 2 year pictures. Now, they are not perfect, as I am not a professional, but they look pretty good! We went to Meadow Farms which is a really pretty park. Mason fed the ducks and we walked to see the animals. Then we went to the train cars in the park, which Mason loved. Then we finally let him play on the slides! :) We made a quick trip with a tired little boy to Nanas house, to see GG Betty and Smitty and then home for a long nap. Enjoy the pictures!

Well we were not able to make our WV trip. There were some things that came up :( We did go see Grandma and Papa that weekend! Mason had a GREAT 2 year check up. The Doctor was so impressed with his language skills. She said she expects him to be a very smart little boy! (we already knew that right, haha) He had gained weight he was about 26 lbs, though he is still only 30% for weight, she said she was OK with that. He runs about 70% for height. He fully takes after his father, as I was about 10% in everything when I was little! ;) We did get some more meds for the poor thing. We are trying a nasal spray to see if it helps his nose from being clogged so much. We also have to keep an eye out for some "asthma like" symptoms and may need a trip to a special lung doctor if we see more trouble. Thank you RSV! :( Other then that the child is THRIVING. He is getting over another case of strep. At least we hope he gets over it. He has learned how fun it is to spit his medication back out at us. We have had to get creative on how to give it to him!! We havent taken many pictures this month, but will get some more soon as Mommy is excited for a new lens for her camera!!! :) We also have been trying out the potty. The doctor said we needed to do it before 2 1/2 since he is pretty smart. She said if we didn't he would out smart US in that department! :) We are looking forward to some nice weather and getting outside to play.

Grandma has her hands FULL!!!


Miss Olivia Lou!
They love playing in the bath together!

I also want to say a BIG congrats to my little Brother John and his wife Lisa. They now have a little girl named Julianne. We can't wait to meet her!

We have a 2 year old??????

So we have a 2 year old??? What a busy month December was for us. We spent some great time with family and friends for the holidays!! Mason was under the weather for some of it, which made it very hard. We started the season with the Sneads (we had to celebrate before baby Preston came!!) Then on Christmas Eve the present marathon began. We started with lunch with Grandpa and Terry at Cracker Barrel (yum). Mason got some GREAT power tools!! Then after a nap we headed to Nana's house for a yummy dinner and more gifts! Then it was back home for bed so Santa could get to work. We had to WAKE Mason up at 10am on Christmas morning! :) He was very excited about his tool bench and many toys. He really didn't want to open any gifts cause all he wanted to do was play. Then Mommy and Daddy got things together for our trip home to Lynchburg! We had a wonderful 4 days at Grandma and Papas house. We were busy. We had Christmas on Sunday after Papa got home from work. Then we headed to Gigi and PawPaws to have our annual Christmas. Mason was not to happy about being a king, I think he was exhausted! The next day we hung out at Grandmas and had a baby shower for Uncle Stuart and Lisa who will be having baby Julieanne in February. The next day we had planned for Masons to have his Birthday Party with family in Lynchburg, but I think the week caught up with him. He spent the morning throwing up, so we asked everyone to stay home. He is such an EVERS! He has a sensitive tummy! :) So we headed home. Thursday was his Birthday and Nana and Aunt Jen, Uncle B, and Ellie came to have cake and open gifts! Mason licked the icing on the cake and that was about it. I am not sure how he is recovering not opening gifts for the last week! :) We want to say thank you to everyone for ALL the gifts! Mason has played so hard with all his new toys, and we cannot believe we fit them all in the house. Monday we head to the Dr for his 2 year visit. We have LOTS of health questions for poor Dr DeSilva! :) Then Nana is coming to stay the weekend with Kadence while we head to WV to see the Whites! Mommy and Mason are so excited to see them again! We will share pictures when we get back!!! Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We are getting ready for the holidays and cannot wait for Mason to see what he gets from Santa!!

Pumpkin fun!

Fall

Welcome fall weather, we are so glad you are here! We have had a busy month. We headed to see Gaga and Papa to celebrate Olivia's first birthday. Mason helped her eat some cake and open gifts. We also went to GiGi and PawPaw's and Mason enjoyed sitting on the tractor. Once Uncle John started the tractor and started to take Mason for a ride he had a melt down. Maybe next year! :) This past weekend we had a visit from Gaga, Sarba, and Olivia. We went shopping all day sat. and celebrated Matts Birthday. Sunday Nana and the Meade's joined all of us to head to the Punkin Patch. Mason had a good time looking at all the punkins. We are so happy it is nice outside and we can play!
