In Love

Mason, 


Tonight we had some Mommy Mason time and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your company. You make me laugh so hard sometimes. You love to laugh. You would lean back and I would tickle under your neck and you would be hysterical then lean back for another hit! I love when you come running to me with your hands up. You've been doing it a lot lately, especially when we are doing laundry. You want to be on Mommy all the time (or lifting the toilet lid and making your scrunched nose look). Playing with you and watching you learn and grow has been fan-damn-tastic.
There are times when you crack me up when you aren't supposed to (hair pulling, sitting on the fireplace, etc). I know I will regret giving into that cute face one day. Anyway, you did some extraordinary things today as usual. Grandma, Pop, and I heard you say, "thank you" when I handed you your sippy cup and when Pop said "I am going upstairs to do some work," Pop and Grandma heard you say, "me too." Fascinating. Today you found your old friend Ubi (the weird jelly-like thing with tentacles). I would throw it to you, you would pick it up, put your hand out, then drop it. That is how you throw and it's SO cute. We did it for a while. 
You really LOVE your playhouse Dad and I got you for Christmas. Your favorite part is smiling at Mommy when you stand in it, opening and closing the door, and ringing the doorbell. You like the treehouse Grandma and Pop got you too. It has a telescope thing on it and you love being able to look in it and see Mommy. Peek-a-boo is still your favorite game and you play in with clothes on the floor, Mommy closet door (that rhymed), or anything else. 
You love Sicily. The Spinners have taught you to pet her and it is yet again, SO cute. You are so gentle. You love to chase her to her favorite place (under a chair in the living room) and by the time we get in there, you are laying on her. When I say, "what sound does a dog make?" you reply with an airy barking noise. You know that sound well since Sicily growls at you all the time (totally with love of course). 
You walk so fast now. Honestly, I know full-fledged running is right around the corner. You like chap stick and brushing your teeth. Take the stick or toothbrush (with toothpaste) away, and you is not happy. Your appetite is back on completely. Yesterday while out to eat with Wy and A.J., you downed a full quesadilla again and tonight you ate so much, great grandma said enough and she's italian!). Speaking of dinner last night, Wyatt  got the pleasure of hearing the mariachi band for the first time last night. He was in awe and you like usual, speechless. You touched the guys guitar twice. 
Tonight before Daddy left he was holding you running around the house while I chased you with my "claws." You laugh again was contagious. 


In Love,
Mommy
