Baby Mason video trial

This is my 1st attempt as posting the various videos we have taken of the kids over time. Mason like to do this crazy breathing pattern. It was so cute!!

Mason is hugging Sydney. Mason says, "I taking Sydney hugs. I love Sydney." I said, "Oh, you love Sydney?" He replies, "Yes, I love Sydney, that's right, Mommy."

At the park, I say, "Mason, it's time to go. It's too cold." Mason: "No, it's not cold, Mommy." Me: "Well, I'm cold so let's go." Mason: "Yeah, I'm cold too."

Matt's leaving for work every morning. Matt: "Bye, buddy. I gotta go to school." Mason: "Daddy go school like Mason's school." Yes, Daddy's school is just like Mason's school.........

Matt: "Hi, Sydney. Wow, you are getting big." Mason: "No, Sydney's not big. I'm big. Sydney's a baby."

Mason's going on his 6th day with no accidents. It's amazing! Started off a little rough but now we are getting the hang of it. Last night, he peed in the potty and says "Mommy, I went pee-pees in the potty. I wear underwear. I'm a big boy!" I said, "Yes you are a big boy." Mason: "Yes, I'm a big boy. No accidents. No accidents, Mommy." :)

Sydney's newest craze is asking to be put up on the couch at which point she turns into crazy woman.....jumping, leaping, etc. You have to stand over her every move so she doesn't fall off the couch. She's laughing and screaming with joy the whole time. She has also started occasionally sucking on her thumb during the day. She always does it in her bed when going to sleep but never during the day. Isn't it funny? This is the exact same age that Mason started doing the same thing when we were in Tampa over summer. What a cowinky dink!!!

January 29, 2008


Okay I should have been doing this sooner but better late than never, I say. This is just one more way for all of our friends and family to stay connected with our crazy lives all over the U.S. The kids are growing up so fast. Every day Matt and I are amazed at all the little things Sydney and Mason are doing.
Mason doesn't forget anything. He's now added another step to his bedtime routine.....medicine (chapstick) for his lips. With all of this cold weather here in RI, his lips can't get enough. And don't you forget that one step or the whining will not stop until you take care of it. His newest love is peeing in the potty at school. He will actually hold it so he can pee in the school potty. We are currently on our 4th day of no accidents. So exciting!!!
Sydney is just as crazy as her brother. She fights her naps by jibber jabbering away in her crib. Her words these days are: book, duck, uh-oh, all done, truck, choo-choo, night-night, ball, and several animal sounds. Too cute!!! She and Mason are somewhat obsessed with the Nick Jr Backyardigans. Every morning their faces light up when it comes on.
