WE'RE BACK!!!

So, the last time I posted, it was 2 days before our move to Bowling Green. I was posting Mason's 12-month pics and asking y'all to help me choose which ones to order. Well, since that post a LOT has changed! First of all, my sweet little baby is no longer a little baby. He is an energetic, babbling-away, runnin' through the house, eatin' us out of house 'n home, almost SEVENTEEN month-old!! We cannot believe it. Here we are with a TODDLER!! Since our move, Mason has just turned into this big boy all of a sudden and Marc and I are realizing this more and more. The more mature our little boy becomes, the more & more we find ourselves reverting back to his newborn days! We have been rocking him more and more, singing sweet little songs, and giving him a million and one hugs & kisses. We're just not ready for him to NOT be a baby yet!

So, there it is! Our last 2 1/2 months in a nutshell! Let me know if I forgot anything! :) Hopefully I can get back into my routine and update this thang often. Things have settled down a little (well, as much as they can for a home where a 17-month old resides!) so I'm finally sitting down to catch my breath. Sorry to leave you all hangin'! I love you all!
