Hey everyone! I know it's been so long since I've blogged. Sorry about that. Honestly, sometimes I just totally forget! A lot has happened since you've last heard from me. We've finally pretty much finished our kitchen. It looks beautiful! There are a few minor things that need done in there, but the majority is done... here is a pic for you.
This picture isn't super recent. Since this was taken the base boards have been put in along with another cabinet that you wouldn't be able to see in the picture anyway. If you knew what this kitchen looked like before you would know that this is a HUGE improvement! I love it!
Big news on the Mason front.... it's been about a month and a half now I believe, but he finally gave up the pacifier! One night I just told Dom to throw them in the garbage and that's what we did. Mason had a rough go of it for a few days and would take a long time to fall asleep, but really he did so awesome giving it up! He's such a big boy. Still to this day he will once in a while ask "where paci?" and I'll tell him it's all gone and he will chant "no more paci!" He's too darn cute I tell ya.
He is talking up a storm these days. He loves to sing songs. It's really cute because he will only sing a few words from each line and then hum the rest and bob his head like he knows exactly what's going on. He's still a guitar playing machine too. I think he thinks he's a rock star! I would buy his record. :-) Ha! Recently we took him roller skating for the first time. He did so good! I went around a lap with him holding his hand and then after that he insisted on doing it all by himself. He only fell a few times and really I was there to catch him before he actually hit the ground. I can't believe how fast he is growing. Where did my wobbly headed little baby go?
His new favorite thing to do when we go outside and play is roll down our hill in the backyard. It's so funny! The whole way down he'll say weeeee! The weather has been super nice here the last few weeks and we've been spending a lot of time outside in the afternoon. He loves to go for wagon rides and every time he has to take something with him... a ball, bubbles, a bat.... you name it, it's gone along for the ride with us.
Funny story about this next picture... Dom's dad and the kids came over last weekend and they were playing so hard that Mason didn't get his usual afternoon nap in. By the time they left it was around 4 and Mason was becoming extremely whiny.... which is typical when he doesn't get his nap... anyways, he was standing next to the couch crying about a cereal bar and I turned my back for a second. By the time I turned back around he had totally fallen asleep half standing and half laying on the couch. So of course I had to snap a picture of this! We laughed so hard.
Well, I'm sure there's a lot of info I'm skipping, but I wanted to put something up here with a few pics so that I could half way update you all. I hope you have a nice Easter with your families. I can't wait to hide eggs and let Mason go on a hunt for them. He will be so proud of himself when he finds them!
