Mason is pretty well settled into the routine at Preschool. In September he attended a soccer clinic for 3 and 4 year olds. He really seemed to enjoy it and was the only child on the field that was running and kicking the ball yelling out "Hey Mommy, hey Daddy look at me. Hey Mommy, take a picture of me"!! What a hoot!
Mason has been able to recognize all his letters and numbers for a few months now, and sings the ABC song several times a day. He is still into Dinosaurs and new favorites include playing with his toy cars. At night, he still sleeps with the same teddy bear and blankie. He hasn't sucked his thumb in several months. Getting him to stop sucking his thumb was WAY easier than we had imagined....actually a funny story because he literally kicked that habit in a matter of hours!
Our family went on vacation in September. We spent a week in Orlando watching Daddy play softball and did the Disney thing! Mason LOVED it. He did great on the airplane and loved the Disney parks. His absolute favorite ride was the "buzz buzz" ride (Buzz Lightyear) at Magic Kingdom. We were also able to spend a few hours at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. We hope we can go back as a family again!
Taegan will be 7 months old tomorrow...where has the time gone! She can sit up some on her own, but she prefers to be on her tummy. For several weeks now we have been thinking she is going to crawl at any moment. She gets up on all 4's and rocks, but then goes back to her tummy and pretty much "army crawls" to where she wants to go. She is a good baby, sleeps great and hardly ever fusses. No teeth yet! We feel her eye movements have improved some over the last few months. We took her to see a Pediatric Ophthalmologist at Children's Mercy at the end of August, just to be reassured by a 2nd opinion. The Dr. she has classic Congenital Motor Nystagmus. He felt it to be mild compared to some of the other cases he has seen and does not have any reason to believe that she will be visually impaired as a result of this. In just these past few days she has been saying "Ma-Ma-Ma"!
The following are pictures from our vacation, family pictures that were taken mid June and just some other random photos to enjoy!
