Memories!

There have been so many memories that I feel like I am forgetting! Things I thought I would for sure remember as time goes on...like silly things Mason would say...or when/how he started crawling and walking. Of course, after thinking about it I can recall some things...mostly mortifying moments lol...but my goal is to really start recording little day to day things that make me smile! Hopefully I can just come back in and edit this post to keep them all in a safe place that cant be lost:)

So for starters-memories that seem to stick out.
Mia-
*At 9 months-she has taken 3 steps...so it wont be long before she is walking!!!
                     -She is such a little drama queen!
                     -Her favorite food is pizza right now
                     -I can finally put her hair in pigtails!
                     - She says Mama, Dada, Bye-Bye (and waves), tries to say kitty
                     -started sleeping in her crib- up to 4 hours a night:)
                     -she drinks out of her own sippy cup now
                     -had her 9mo appt today-she is very advanced for her age...according to her doctor they
                      are slightly concerned about her height and weight. She weighed in at 17lbs 15.4oz.
                     Personally I think she is fine since she still looks like my little chunk. It has only been
                     since she started crawling, walking with her walker, cruising...etc-that her weight has
                     dipped, so give me a break:) she is healthy!!

 -So, she started really walking on the (feb)12th, and hasn't slowed down since! now she is everywhere...and getting into everything!! As of today (the 18th feb) she figured out how to put her hands on her head to play peek a boo...sometimes she'll actually make it over her eyes, its so cute! she also tries to say "ooooh i looove you" cuz we always say that to her and mas! she said Gus this morning-the dog. She has really gotten lovey lately! huggies all the time!!

Mason-
*He started crawling by being bribed with yogurt melts.
*He used to say AH-pepper meaning big helper when he was little because he loved being my big helper.
*2.5years- One time on our way to Santa Fe we stopped in Socorro to let Mas use the restroom at McDonald's. He is pretty shy around strangers... but this time he wasn't... while we were waiting an older lady said hi and how are you doing to Mas and without skipping a beat he tells her, (for the sake of pronunciation we'll spell it 'kneeknee'-and use your imagination, I'm sure you know what he is referring to) "My 'kneeknee'  hurts...but then I'm going to go pee and my 'kneeknee' will feel all better." I didn't even know what to say...I'm sure i turned bright red and just told her sorry. She was sweet tho, luckily she just chuckled a little and said that you have to respect that kind of honesty...I could not get out of there quick enough lol.
*2.5 years-One day I took the kids in to see Koko during his lunch break. Koko is a manager at the branch he works at and when one of his tellers, a lady in her 60s came in to say hello to the kids...as soon as she started talking to Mia and started to hold her hands, Mason stood up on his chair and loudly said, "NO GRANDMA, BABY DOESN'T LIKE YOU!!!" Koko and I were SO embarrassed! She laughed it off fortunately!
*Just turned 2-OMG, so we were in the process of getting Mason potty trained. Things were going pretty well. We had just showered and I was sitting on the bed in my towel and told Mas to try to go potty in the toilet. I started looking at something on my phone and didn't notice that Mas hadn't gone to the bathroom. Then he peed on my foot! I probably scared him a little when I yelled, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" He finished peeing in the toilet, then I made him come to the bathtub with me and wash my foot!
*2.5 years-When we were in Hobby Lobby he looked up at me and said, "Mommy, I don't like this walmart" :)
*2.5 years-I had both kids with me when we went to the social security administration to get Mia's card. A normal looking guy walked in, but he had some bright greenish blue hair. All I kept thinking was PLEASE don't let this guy sit in front of us...so of course-he sits in front of us. I tried keeping Mas busy with angry birds...hoping he wouldn't notice. It was really quiet and then Mas started to notice. He said, "That guy has green hair"-and I was just like, "uh huh shhhhh"-this time...louder of course... he said, "he's silly huh Mom, he has green hair!!!"-again, I said, "ya-shhhhhh". A lady next to me was trying not to laugh. Of course he would say it again. I don't know who had it worse...me...or the guy with green hair?!
*3 years-When we were in Vegas, Koko took Mason to the bathroom. They went into a stall and Mas went first and then Koko went. There was a few other guys in the bathroom...and Mason looked up at Koko, and said, "You have a big 'kneener' huh dad" then Koko immediately shushed him while he was trying not to laugh. I guess Mas was smiling-of course- since Koko was trying not to laugh. they went to wash their hands and there was another guy there who had obviously heard the conversation and just looked over at Koko and sarcastically said, "Good for you..."


I'm sure soon enough I'll have more to add!
