Mason is 17 months old!

It doesn't seem possible that my baby is already 17 months old and has a little brother! He is into EVERYTHING these days! He can open our doors because they have handles, so he has free reign of the house. He stands on his tippy toes and is able to open them, the likes to pull everything out of any cabinets or drawers he can get to! He loves running off with cell phones! He likes to get the TV remote and change the channel while we are watching something. If it's not a human it's a dog! Everything is a dog! He says Mama (sometimes just mom), dada, ball, baby, bubu, bath, bye, hi, and lots of others I can't think of them all. He is at the stage where he will attempt to repeat what you say. Picture overload from my phone! He loves to crawl in the toy box, or any type of box or container!

This was him helping me get my classroom ready for this school year!

Anytime someone has a drink with a straw he wants a drink. He will say uh uh uh until he gets one too!

He is my little commuter :)

If you ask him if he is ready for a bath he runs to the bathtub say bath, bath, bath and tries to take his clothes and diaper off and hikes his leg over the side..He loves baths!

He is learning to use a fork and spoon and eat out of a bowl!

2nd hair cut!

2nd year to the fair, but 1st ride was with Nana!

Petting zoo with Uncle Josh!

Eating an ice cream cone by himself!

Meeting his baby brother!

He's a great big bro.

He loves to crawl in Logan's bed!

At the Poteet football game the cheerleaders handed out suckers and rubbed his all over his face :)

Yesterday, we were looking for him and found he has squeezed himself under the stroller! He is a mess!

These are from my camera. Him at Brian's cousin's wedding:

Loving on Logan!

Loving on Noah!

We love our Mason Wayne and couldn't imagine our lives without him!!!

Trunk or Treat

Yesterday, we went to a Halloween festival at Uncle Todd, Aunt Amy, and the kids church. The weather was great and we had fun!

Rangers Game

Noah's 5th birthday was on August 22nd and we had purchased Ranger tickets for the family and friends to go and celebrate. The date we were supposed to go to the game it was over 100* outside (so glad we are past those days) so we ended up not going until I believe it was September 10th. Noah is playing baseball right now and he was into watching the Rangers. He told us his favorite player is Michael Young and he played for the blue sox :) So cute! We all had a lot of fun at the game!

Logan Ty

Our precious baby boy #2 made his arrival October 7th, 2011. It was a scheduled C-section due to previous attempt to have Mason "the other way" and it didn't work out. There was no reason to put myself through that again...and it was a GREAT decision. We showed up to the hospital at 7:30am, the nurses & anesthesiologists prepped me for surgery. They couldn't find a good place to put my IV and pricked me in 4 different places until it ended up right in the crease of my right arm. Glad it finally worked but not a good place for an IV after the baby came. Other than that everything else went smoothly. Logan was born at 10:20am, 7lbs 10oz, 20.5 inches long. Just born:

My first time meeting little Logan:

Daddy's first time holding this precious boy:

I felt so much better this time after the surgery. I guess it really did take it out of me with Mason to endure labor for 12 hours and THEN have surgery. My first reaction when seeing him was that he was a skinny version of his big bro. I think they look alike, but Logan is smaller than Mase was at birth. Logan:

Mason:

We were at the hospital for 3 nights, and everything went well while we were there. I breastfed Logan without supplementing at the hospital and he was 6lbs 15oz when we left, which was a 9% weight loss and they become concerned when it gets to 10%. After visiting the pediatrician he gave us a supplementing regimen to follow and we have been following that for the most part. Breastfeeding for 30 min and then a bottle is doable right now with my hubby home chasing Mason, not sure how long I will be able to do it though. Because of my reduction the milk supply is loowww!!! Wish it wasn't but Mason had formula and he's just fine! My recovery has been a lot better this time also, as far as the incision goes. It feels a lot better! Now, AROUND the incision NOT so good! My redhead, freckled, sensitive skin self had an allergic reaction to the adhesive in the tape the doctor used to put a bandage over the incision site. She only left it on for 1 day but after I got home it was all red and I couldn't even sleep it was so itchy!!! I used the tube of my prescription in a few days and it was supposed to last me a month, but it is feeling better now! Logan is such a sweet little relaxed baby! He sleeps soo good for us! 6 or 7 hours at night :0) Mason is coming around to him and loves to give him a tap here and there when he runs by. He also tries to climb in his bed with him!!
