Mason is 2!

I am so proud and happy to say that our little miracle turned 2 on May 25th. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. The NICU memories are still so fresh in my mind that sometimes it seems like yesterday. Even though the memories are still so vivid, I get to watch my toddler walk, run, talk, "read" books, give hugs and kisses, tickle his little sister, etc. There are days when it still brings tears to my eyes. He is such a happy boy.

We celebrated his birthday on Sunday the 24th with friends and family. I made him a cake in the shape of a dump truck. The minute he saw it sitting on the counter he smiled and said "dump truck!". He had so much fun at his party playing with his toys. He is such a social boy and loves parties! He is really becoming independent and will dissapear into the party crowd and mingle with everyone instead of sticking next to us.

Here is a glimpse of Mason at age 2:

* Like most 2 year olds, his favorite word is "no" :)

* He is fascinated by his little sister and loves to tickle her and try to give her a pacifier.

* Like always, he loves his books. I think he could probably sit for hours looking at all of them.

* He loves trucks!

* He is very good at entertaining himself and is able to play independently when my time is consumed with the baby.

* He loves cartoons! His favorite is Wow Wow Wubbzy. When it is on, he loves to march around saying "Wow! Wow!".

* He continues to love music. His favorite song is Wheels on the Bus. When we are in the car, he will do all of the hand motions and giggle like crazy when I play it for him.

* He loves to give hugs and kisses and is still our "snuggle bug".

* He loves to go outside and play!
