What I love about Mason

His double chin:

He is always in the same spot I left him, just waiting patiently for me to hold him:

Watching him wake-up. I love his little yawn:

Mason 1 Month

This cute boy is 1 Month old. Here are some pictures from Anthony and I's amateur photo shoot:

This last one isn't the cutest, but I love his rolls and wanted to show them to the world. In only 1 months time Mason has grown 2 inches and gained 3 lbs. He is already wearing size 2 diapers and 3 Month old clothing. He is a champ at breastfeeding here is the proof:

Merry Christmas

PJ's

A week after delivering Mason my C-section went bad. The sight is still open and draining. Normal pants hit right where the sight is, so whenever I am home I change into my yoga pants. My girls see me always wearing my pajamas, so they have started wearing theirs all the time as well. The other day I went to pick up the girls from a play date, when I walked in the house McKenzie, Kaitlynn and their friend Piper were all in pajamas. I think it might be time to suck it up and start wearing clothes everyday again so they don't think it is okay to wear pajamas all day every day.

Mason & Kenzie

McKenzie is an amazing big sister to Mason. She loves him so much it is adorable. When I am busy and have to let Mason cry longer than she likes, she always goes over and calms him down. Mason still hasn't mastered holding the binky in his mouth so Kenzie will sit holding it until he can finally get it to stay in. Kenzie is scared of the dark, and refuses to go downstairs at night to get anything. The other night she faced her fear for Mason. Mason was crying, Kenzie went to help him and she noticed his binky wasn't upstairs so she(without being asked, and without even knowing I was watching) went downstairs found the binky and brought it to him. She melted my heart it was the sweetest thing I have every seen.

McKenzie is 4

On December 13th this adorable girl turned 4
To celebrate she had a small party with just a couple friends. She is old enough now all her friends got dropped off so we had a house full of excited girls ready to party.

The kids loved all the games and all the food. No one had to eat vegetables or even finish anything they were given. They enjoyed Pizza & soda for dinner.

Followed by Cake Pops & Ice Cream for desert.

McKenzie is a joy to have in our lives.

Her favorite toys are: Hello Kitty, Babies with bottles & binkies, and her my little pony that can talk, walk and has a bottle & binkie.

She loves to eat: ding-dongs, pizza, chocolate covered raisins, (pretty much if it is chocolate she loves it), she also loves to chew gum

Her favorite show is iCarly.

She loves reading books, playing games (old maid, go fish, uno moo), and swinging on our swing set.

She is almost always the first one to be done with her chores, and is the most willing to listen. She is usually already dressed, and has made her bed before she comes to ask for breakfast.

She is so sweet. If she and Parker are fighting over something and I have to intervene and decide who gets the toy, after all the fighting and deciding if McKenzie ends up getting the toy she immediately will hand it over to Parker because she wants him to be happy.(So sweet, yet frustrating, why doesn't she do that before I have to intervene and become the judge).

A little Glimpse into our lives as parents

Tonight Anthony gave the kids marshmallows. McKenzie & Kaitlynn's preferred method of eating marshmallows is to stick them up their nose first, then pop them in their mouth.

Every day the kids earn tickets, at the end of the week they use the tickets to buy snacks for their movie night. Tonight Kaitlynn got 3 tickets for her hard work. She looked at Anthony and said "ooh dad, I wanted 2 tickets." We hope one day soon she will understand this reward system.
