Letting go



Peanut,


I apologize for not writing recently. I have wanted to desperately but we haven't had our computer. We bought a new one and I come to you from our new iMac. However, it is with sadness. We Turner's made a huge mistake by not backing up our laptops. When both hard drives took a dump (to be frank), we lost all of our photos. Thankfully, there is a place in the city where we can have someone hopefully recover our pictures or I will be devastated. This will cost us quite a bit of money but I can't loose precious pictures and videos taken of you these past 10 1/2 months. 


Anyway, the two of us have really gotten close. We laugh, cry (then you laugh when I cry), and play together all day. You are the silliest little dude. You walked behind me yesterday with your hands on my shoulders and loved when I would turn my head. Your laugh is SO contagious. You hate toys (as previously mentioned) except for this race car toy and your new mega blocks. Boxes and styrofoam pieces also fit your fancy. After an extremely fussy two days, I had Gram take you to the doctor. You were waking up repeatedly during the night then would be fussy all day (not to mention waking up 2 mornings in a row with dried up blood on your nose). Since you now have 5 teeth (3 top, 2 bottom), I assumed it was me being a mommy and that you were just teething. Turns out, double ear infection and it's bad. You are on Amoxil for 10 days twice a day. Still getting up at odd hours but you are in much better spirits. I ordered your invitations for your birthday party October 30th and I LOVE them. Before Gram and Pop left for NY, we went over and I had to go upstairs. Of course, you had to follow. You were at the bottom and when I said, "Mason, where are you?" at the top, you go, "uuuu?" It was so cute! You walk on water...I mean walls. Now it is not only furniture. 


Daddy is frustrated that I continue to write Gram when I refer to my mom. He would prefer you call her Grandmother Mimi. At the appointment earlier this week, you weighed 18 lbs. 12 ounces. Your mom bubbles are getting big and you make them all the time!


You have started letting go when standing! It is terrifying! You did it in the bath tub the other day and Daddy and I almost had a heart attack. We LOVE that you are so determined to do it but the bath tub? You get really excited afterward and dance and smile. So cute!


I love you and think you are the most awesome kid on the planet. Thanks for helping me at the Saturday serve today. You rock!




Love,
Mommy
