Dear Mason & Gabbie:

Crazy is a perfect word to describe things right now! We just celebrated your 2nd birthday Gabbie, which is unbelievable, at best! The past 2 years with you have flown by--and i'm not just talking about how fast you run (which you do; all the time!)  You are the most outgoing, hilarious, spirited 34 inches tall person we have ever met!  We can't go anywhere without strangers telling us how beautiful you are; and there's a reason God made you that way--you throw some serious temper tantrums! But it usually only takes about 1 minute before you're making us smile again!

Mason, you are such a big boy already! You're only 8 months and already weigh more than your sister did at that age (but then again, it doesn't take too much to beat Gabbie in that department!) You're a crawling machine now, and you love to play with Gabbie's toys and Charlie's tail (thankfully both parties are pretty forgiving of you; for now!) And as for sleeping, something you have consistently lacked in since your arrival back in July, you are now making it 11-12 hours each night (most nights!) You still have wake up occasionally, but you are 100% better than you were a few months ago!

Dada just started his new job, which has allowed us to buy our first house! We're so excited to move to our big new home where you can both have your own room, and a beautiful backyard to play in!

We love you both, and Gabbie please work on your meltdowns for us...Mason...how about a little less drool? Love Mama & Dada
