Masen 18 Months

Masen is now 18 months old. I can not believe how fast time has gone by. He is growing up so fast. Masen can say a whole load of words mixed with some sign language. Here is a list of some of them: Mom, Dad, Dont, No, Ya, Milk, Nigh night, Bye bye, Nanna (Banana), Go, Down, Cup, Ball, Book, Shooss (shoes), Papa, Papmm (Grandma), Get Down, Please in sign language and talk, Thank You in both, Sorry in both, More in both, Socks in both, SheyShey (Shelly, our Neighbor), Car, WooWoo (anything with sirens and also Motorcycles), and on and on...

We went to his 18 month checkup on the 25th of October and he is 34" and in the 91%, he is 23.5lbs and in the 17%, and his head is 49" and in the 82%. So needless to say we have a big headed, tall and skinny bean of a kid.

He is such a character and everyone who meets him just falls in love with him. I can for sure say that my life would be VERY boring without him in it. He is a joy and always happy, petty much no matter what. Masen is already trying to get us to potty train him... UH-MAZING. He loves ball, cars and books, and is now starting to LOVE to tell mom and dad NO all the time. Masen always wants to hold Babies. Loves to be around other kids, no matter what age they are. He thinks Ronnie and Ryland are the best and pretty much follows them around whenever we are all together. He is also a great cuddler when he wants to be, and likes to give kisses. He has to sleep with all 3 of his Monkeys each night. He is pretty good at following the rules and doing what he is told, even though he tells us No when he does what he is told anyway.

bbb bbbbbbbbbbg ym ym jkjjyrrdddfsch ywwwddqw11`: MASEN SAYING HI TO EVERYONE.

Just some Pics

This is the really kewl sunset that we had last night. It almost looks like a bomb went off in the sky. Don't you think?

He Loves to put this hat on all the time.

I got too close to the camera to CHEESE for mom. See me ChEEsE it Up for mom.

Ha look what I got. So so so sleepy, don't want to don't want to.

Daddy helping me put the purse on. I got one mom, I didn't think I did. Masen loves to put his hand up in the air so that way he can keep the purse on his arms. LOL it is so cute.

(Thats him making a monkey noise to say monkey.....)

I hope you all enjoyed these.

Long Over DUE!!!

Well now that I have internet I can update everyone on how we are all doing. This is going to be a fairly long post so be prepared. Let see, since I posted a lot has happened but it is so hard to remember it all.

Masen started walking and now cruises everywhere and loves to get into, and onto everything. His favorite thing to do is say, "No" or "Don't Touch" and then proceed to do exactly that when he isn't suppose to. He is such a smart little stinker. He really enjoys the outside. If he could live out there he would. His favorite thing to do is make mom and dad laugh. He thinks it is just so fun and laughs along with us. He also really enjoys g0ing to Pet Land to see all the Dogs and other animals. Masen is always trying to push his limits and trying to get away with everything. Sometimes I just give up and let him because I am so tired of telling him No, or dont touch, or get down, and etc.... ALL DAY LONG! Masen is the biggest JABBER mouth. He could talk your ear off! His is very big on Sharing too, which is great and makes things easier when around other little ones. He also LOVES LOVES LOVES to DaNcE all the time! I can hardly believe that he is already 16 months. Another 2 months and he will be going into Nurshery, where did my little baby go?

I am now working for my old boss, the attorney, for a few days a week in the office and then the rest of the week at home doing mailouts for him. It is really nice. I also will be starting up babysitting again for the little I was watching before the summer. I have had another B-day, and other than that I don't think much else is new with me.

John is still working for Bass Pro at their Warehouse. He is still, unfortunatly, working the night shift, but is one of 12 applicants going for a Supervisor shift on the Day shift. It will be so nice to have him back home at nights. Johns truck is not opperable so we are a one car family. The rear suspension has Crapped completely out. :P

John and I celebrated our 2 year anniversay on the 2nd of August. We didn't do to much, but we were able to get a sitter and go out to eat to enjoy some one on one time with each other. We are still living in our Townhose in Springfield and plan to stay here for at least another year. John plans to get into school soon and then once he decides where and what, will determine where we end up.

Well until next time......

PICTURE OVERLOAD........

The Zoo was $1 so we got together with Johns sister and her hubby and our friend Elise and her baby and went and enjoyed the animals and time together in the decent weather. (A bit cooler that it has been, but still HOT)

1. Maive, my friend Elises' daughter, and Masen on the Elephant at the front gate of the Zoo. 2. Masen having a BLAST in the Sprinkler to cool down. Like his Muddy bum? 3. One of the Monkeys came to the fence to pose for all the people taking pictures. 4. Masen getting ride on my shoulders instead of the stroller, he got tired of being in there.

1.Just a Cute one of Masen. 2. My new DEW what do you think? 3. Masen LOVES Babies too. He is always wanting to hold them and play with them. 4. He is Such a CHEESER.

1. This is Bailey, the little girl I babysit. 2. Oh I love you MOM!

I have some videos I will upload another time. My computer is having a hard time with them right now.

Masens' First BIRTHDAY!

I'm sorry this is a month late, I just hate not having Internet sometimes.

For Masens birthday we did a big party. We had friends and family come over in the morning to do cake, ice cream and presents. Then later that afternoon we headed out to the Dickerson Park Zoo. It was a lot of fun. I thank everyone who came to enjoy this special moment in our life.
