Almost 24...really?!

Well it's August...already! I cant believe I am coming up on my 24th birthday! How is this possible? So much has been going on in the past month(s)...I don't even know where to begin. Mason is fully potty trained and has been for about a month now-at last! It makes such a difference to not have to change so many diapers! He did pretty good with the whole thing and we only use pull ups at night just in case. Mia is growing right on track, she is already 3 months old now! At her 2 month appointment she weighed in at 13lbs 4oz and 23.5 inches. She has grown a lot considering she started out at 8lbs 12oz and 18.5 inches long. She laughed at Mason for the first time last month and has started rolling over. Mason gets a little jealous from time to time, but he is such an amazing big brother! He does everything he can to help me and always makes sure Mia is taken care of. 


Mason has really turned into a little boy now. I cant look at him and see my baby boy anymore. It's so bittersweet. It seems unreal that in a few months he is going to be turning three. He def acts like a 2 year old though, complete with saying, "No" all the time. Boy, does Mason loooove to test his boundaries!! He talks ALL the time too, and  sometimes he says the funniest things...The other day we were at Hobby Lobby (of course we were there for a while because I love that store) and he tells me, "Mommy, I don't like this Wal-Mart". I couldn't help but laugh. Mason loves going to Wal-Mart...its crazy!


We got our family portraits done recently. It worked out that Mia was exactly the same age as when we got our portraits done with Mason. They were both exactly one week from being three months old. Its pretty funny comparing their baby pictures. Mia looked a lot like Mason when she was born, but she is starting to come into her own look now. As you can see though, there is no denying that they are brother and sister!   

Both a week away from being 3 months old!

My birthday is a week away... at first I was a little bummed to be turning 24, but the more I think about it...I am so happy with my life! I never thought that at 24 I would be where I am now! We have our house, our kids, and our pets. My life wouldn't be this great without Koko. He is so supportive and does everything he can for our family. A few weeks ago I decided to start selling cakes, it gives me a little something to do and brings in some extra money so I can spoil my kids more than they already are:) Now if I could just figure out how to slow time down a little I would be all set!!
