TWO

And just like that, my baby is two.

Sometimes parenting is hard, but it is peppered with lots of joy.  Today is one of the moments as a parent where I am full of joy - celebrating our little fireball turning 2.
Mason is in a really fun stage.  He is learning new words almost daily, and starting to pair words together without being prompted.  Some of the more frequent ones are "help please" and "pants on".  We waited a long time for him to talk, so I love hearing him verbalize his thoughts and opinions.  He loves the color blue, but green and purple are popular with him as well.  He is a very active and physical little boy who lives to be outside.  He loves cars, trains, Buzz Lightyear, and balls as most little boys do.
I'm looking forward to this year.  I know we are entering the so-called "terrible twos", and he has given us a taste of tantrums already, but as he moves from baby to toddler to little boy, he is just so much fun.  There are so many more experiences to be had, and we are so excited to have them!
Happy birthday to the one who will always be my baby!
