Jason and the Reptiles

While we were at Kent and Sue's house for Joe's luncheon, my cousin Jason asked if Mason would like to see a real snake. Mason had recently watched a Curious George episode about a snake that shed its skin so Mason was very excited. He went right up to Jason and the snake and started rubbing it. He liked the snake's tongue and even tried to let it lick him...gross.

Jason set the snake on the little pirate boat that Mason was playing with and he took it for a little ride.
I was surprised at how much Mason loved the snake. He even started to rub his nose and face all over the snake. Totally gross but he loved it, so whatever.
Mason also loved chasing around these 3 little dogs. This one's name was Jack and was Mason's favorite. He kept following the dog everywhere and petting him. Jensyn was nice enough to help Mason hold him.
Thanks to all the Fabbi's for a fun day!

Mason turns 3!

Where has the time gone?? I can't believe that my little baby is 3 years old! He is super cute and definitely has his own little personality. He is turning into quite the little talker. He has a very good imagination and chatters away all day making up stories with his toys and cars. He is VERY stubborn...which is so much fun :)
He is such a good big brother and is always looking out for Morgan. He likes to show her off to his friends and other kids. He is also very concerned when she has any spit around her mouth and he has to wipe it off immediately. He likes to reach over and hold her hand when we are in the car and he likes to sing her "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Hello, Hello."
He has a very good sense of smell and is constantly asking, "Mom, what's that mell?" (He can't say the "s" sound). He also wont eat anything if he thinks it smells. He freaks out if we walk by something smelly...I'm pretty sure he inherited this wonderful trait from me :)
He is a miniature Brad in so many ways. He makes the same facial expressions and mimics just about everything Brad does.
He is now 31 lbs and 37 inches.

On Mason's birthday, we woke up and made pancakes for breakfast at Mason's request. Then he decided he didn't want pancakes so I made him some cinnamon toast and grapes. Then he got to a open a couple presents from us.


Later that morning we went to my cousin's sacrament meeting, since he was speaking before he leaves on a mission. We went to my aunt and uncle's house for a delicious lunch. Mason had a blast there. He chased around 3 little dogs and got to see some special animals from cousin Jason (That deserves it's own post:)) Mason came home from Kent and Sue's house with a giant pirate ship and all the pieces and he absolutely loves it. Definitely more than the presents we gave him, haha. We are so excited for Joe to go on a mission and know that he will have a great time and do a great job.

Later that day we went to the Lyman's for dinner. Aunt Kelli made Mason some cupcakes. He was excited about the cupcakes but wasn't thrilled with everyone singing and looking at him. We practically had to hold him in that chair, haha.
He wasn't too fond on the idea of blowing out candles either, even with Brad trying to do it with him.
Brad finally convinced him to "help" his pirate blow out the candles.
Enjoying some "lice cream" as Mason calls it.

1 Month

Little Morgan is one month already! Time is flying by. She is a pretty content and happy baby most of the time. She still loves to sleep a lot but seems to be waking up in the night more now than she used to. She loves her bath and she also loves when Mason sings songs to her. SHe is starting to smile a little bit now and I think she knows what's going on around her.
We went to the doctor for a checkup and she is now 9 lbs and 21 inches. She is growing so fast!

The past few weeks...

Here is a pic of the little cutie pie! :)
Morgan with one of her flower deliveries...
We were lucky to have my parents, Rachel, Kristin, and Cami come visit the week after Morgan was born. Mason was absolutely in heaven with Grandma to dig in the dirt with and Grandpa to show him train videos on Youtube.


Morgan got her first bath. She actually loves the bath and is very happy to sit in there and relax.

Dressed and ready for church! Too cute!


The "Medium" Brother

First of all, Mason insists that he is not a big boy or a big brother. He claims that he is medium and has a fit if we accidently call him big. What a stinker!
Mason has LOVED having a baby sister. He is so proud of her. He asks to hold her every 5 minutes. :) He loves to look at her little fingers and toes and he always informs us when she needs something. He loves to watch her get baths and diaper changes and he is always trying to bring her toys to play with. I don't think Morgan appreciates all his attention but it sure is sweet to watch him love her.
We were in sacrament meeting yesterday and there was a little boy sitting in the row behind us. Mason turned to me and said," Mom, I need to hold her so that boy can see me hold her." Silly kid.

Mason has also started calling Morgan "little mouse." He gets very upset if we call her Morgan and says, "No! Call her little mouse." Sometimes I wonder where he comes up with all of his stubborness...
