Mason: 21 Months {A 3 Month Update}

WHEW! The last few months have been jam packed and Mason is growing and changing so much!!! I just kept random notes during the last three months and I decided to just bullet point them for this update. Next update will be 2 YEARS!

*Matt took some pictures of him one morning inside in his PJs. That's real like with our sweet boy!*

Here's way more information than anyone will want to know about our sweet boy! HAHA! (in no particular order)

*Finally staying more still for diaper changes :)

*Following multiple step directions: "Mason go over there and lay down so I can change your diaper" etc.

*learning so many new words; see below for a pretty comprehensive list

(selfie)

*Giving lots of kisses

*swim lessons in May; by the end of July, he was kicking and "swimming" a lot more!

*will respond to "lay down" for diaper changes

*pats the seat next to him and points to it to have you sit down next to him.

*trip to Montgomery to Visit his Grammy/Mammy (what he says) and PopPop

*Started calling Daddy "Matt" and yelling it out around the house

*waves to everyone we see, blows kisses, says thank you (with a cue) to those who give him something; loves people and seeing people in public

*when we tell Mason "I love you", he puckers and kisses the air. it's his way of saying "I love you"

*First aquarium trip with Matt; also met up with Aunt Holly, Uncle Mitch and cousins Luke, Kieran and Emelia

*Fun long trip to Louisiana by way of Alabama for a quick visit with Mason's Great-Great Aunts which included Mason's first time fishing, lots of swimming, fun visits with friends including some Mason had not met yet;
