Potty Training time and other updates

We have officially begun potty training Mason. For Christmas he received some cool big boy underwear-his favorite is Buzz Lightyear and Lightening McQueen. Just last night we had our first success-he went both #1 and #2 in the big boy potty. He was most excited about the chocolate he got afterwards.

Mason is just learning and growing so fast-it almost seems like every day he learns something new. He can speak in complete sentences, is very good at expressing his wants and needs, and is still our incredibly loving and happy boy. He loves music and plays his new drum set all of the time. Getting him to eat is still a challenge-he is very picky, but is healthy. I can’t believe that next month he will already be 3!

Reid is also growing like crazy. He loves to sit up on his own and is so aware of his surroundings. He does not like to be left alone in the room, even if he was happy playing on the floor. He weighs 18 pounds and will more than likely pass up his big brother in the very near future. He is eating solids now…he loves butternut squash, sweet potatos and isn’t such a fan of green beans or carrots. We’re going to start on fruits soon. He waves to people and is a very happy, smiley boy. He just reached 7 months.

Here is our latest family picture. This was taken just after Christmas after our Sunday afternoon naps.
