The Trydal's: Sorry it's been soooo long...

I know, I know, it's been way over a month since the last post. We have been very busy since Christmas and I just haven't had a lot of extra time.

With that being said, how are you all doing? We're getting close to the end of winter and spring is just around the corner. We can hardly wait.

Anyways, about the star of the show, Mason, As you can all imagine, he is growing like a weed and changing every day. I haven't had him weighed lately, but he's getting taller because I don't have to roll up his pant legs anymore. Mason has become quite a chatter bug throughout this recent growth spurt. His words are momma, daddy, dadu (we think this is Molly), baba (bottle), hi (the most common word by far), baby, kitty, bye and some other random jibberish that we haven't figured out yet!! He is also crawling onto furniture and jumping off, running and walking up and down the stairs holding on the walls or railing (a lesson taught by Grandma).

With not too much to do here in GP over the winter months, my friend Jacquie and I took our boys to the indoor playground. Man, did they have a great time. Rory is only 8 months old but he held his own! Mason learned to crawl up the "climbing wall" of the slide all by himself.

We looked after Reese and Caryse one night and neither of the boys would have a nap. The result, 2 cranky little men in dire need of soothers and a little "Jungle Book".
Mason trying on his new hat and winter boots for me. Of course it would be too much to ask for him to stop drinking his bottle during the little fashion show.

Ok, brace yourselves for one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen. Over Christmas holidays, Mason caught a glimpse of his Dad in the bathroom. Well, he thought this was the best thing he's ever seen and figured he could do it too. The next day when I was undressing him for his bath, I turned around to find him peeing on the rug!! I took this as a sign of my son being very advanced and ready to use the potty. However, it seems that he is not quite ready becuase, everytime I try to sit him on the potty, he takes it and runs...

I had to sneak in a picture of my sweet neice. She's really into Peter Pan right now and does a really good job of playing the role of Tinkerbell. Isn't she adorable.

Mason and Chris having some play time. I love to see the two of them having soo much fun!

One of the gifts that Mason recieved for Christmas was a basketball net from Cathy (totally spoiled). Although Mason's a little too small for it yet, he loves to dunk with Dad. He'll grab a ball, stand under the net and wait for Chris to lift him up to dunk.

I wonder though who is actually having more fun...

And of course, for a week in January, Chris and I headed south for Jordan and Elaine's wedding in the Dominican Republic. We left Mason with Grandma and Grandpa in Edmonton (not an easy thing for me to do, but I know that they all had a great week).
