Day 1. Your Brother is Born.

Today started quite early for your mama, Mason started to make his way into this world around 2 in the morning. I was so excited to finally be on our way to bring your brother to you. I peaked in on you during the contractions, I wanted one last long look at you as our only little one. Grandma came and we woke dada up. You stayed with grandma while Daddy and I went to the doctor to see how things were going. Turns out your brother would end up taking his sweet time being delivered. We came back home and spent the sunny day outside, Daddy filled up your pool with balls and water and we all watched you play. I couldn't keep my eyes off you, I knew life was about to change for you in such a great way but I worried about how you would do. Later Daddy and I went to the hospital and ended up staying there until Mason came, around 4:30 the next morning. I was so excited to finally meet him but even more excited about you meeting him. Grandma brought you later and it was one of the biggest joys in my life to introduce you to your best friend for life. You were a bit hesitant at first but after an hour or so you gave him a kiss and talked to him. He gave you a couple big sister prizes and you were happy to show him how much you loved them. Today is the day our family became complete, my heart is filled with love today, I'm a lucky mama.

The last picture of you as an only child, a beautiful imagine, capturing you in your favorite place, outside in the sunshine. I will always treasure this picture.

Today when I came downstairs you said "Mama you love so beautiful in your purple dress", it made me so happy. I had an appointment today so you went to Jasper's house for a fun visit. When I came to pick you up you were playing with Halloween stickers and having a great time! I love that you have so many great friends.

Day 9. A Walk in the Rain

We took a walk to the post office today and on our way back it started to rain on us, we didn't mind we even took our time walking back. I hope you always enjoy the small things in life, they are what makes this life so sweet.

Day 10. Soccer and a Date with Mama and Dada

Today was a day with Mama and Dada. We cuddled in bed this morning and then you played with Dada before heading to soccer. After your nap we met dad over the hill for lunch and a little shopping, he got you brand new Foofa shoes! I went on to do a little shopping and you and Dada went home to play some more. When I got home you were sliding down the hill in front on your butt, dirty as can be, it was a beautiful sight. I can watch you and Dada play all day, you two are my whole world and it warms my heart to see you together. 

Day 11. A Day at Home and Running Errands.

Today we staying close to home. You played with Dada for a bit while Mama rested and then we took a shower together. You were so calm from the hot water running on your back and I just held you for so long, not wanting to let you go. You've become a squirmy toddler, always on the run, I love moment I can capture you calm and still. After our shower we ran some errands in town and came back home for lunch. After our nap we walked to the post office and came back to make Dada dinner. It was a lovely day.

Day 12. A Beautiful Day Outside.

Today was suppose to be a swim day but you weren't in the mood to go so instead we played in the back yard and took advantage of the sunshine. We played in the balls, filled the water table up and set up the slide so all your guys could go for a swim. We ate lunch, took a nap and ran over the hill to the yarn store and for a dinner date. You love the yarn store, they have knitted animals that you love to put to bed with a blanket. We had dinner and tried two different bakeries to get Dada a treat but both war closed. When Dada got home you ran up to him and said "Dada, I'm sorry two stores were closed". You are such a sweet girl.

Day 13. The Pumpkin Patch.

Today we visited the pumpkin patch! You had a great time in the bouncy houses before we picked out our pumpkins. You picked Mason's out first and then went on a long detailed search for your own. Dada said you could pick out two, one big one and one small one. You picked out the biggest one we bought that day. We went to the book store, picked up a pizza and went home and ate dinner. It was a perfect day!

Day 14. On a boat with Grandma.

Today was such a fun day for you. Grandma took you to her company picnic on Angel Island. You road a big boat over for the first time! You had such a fun day, you played with a new friend, took off all your clothes for a dip in the water, ran around, made up games and saw the Blue Angles fly in the sky. Every picture Grandma sent you were smiling from ear to ear. After your long fun filled day you had a slumber party at Grandma's before meeting me for breakfast the next morning. 

Day 15. The Book Store and a Walk.

Today we went to the book store and ran some errand over the hill. After our nap we woke up and took a walk. We didn't get very far, our neighbors were outside playing and you wanted to join them. You had lots of fun playing with all their great toys. We made it home just time time to make Dada dinner. 

Day 16. Pizza for Dinner.

Today we played at home and did some art in our play room. Your favorite part of the day was making Dada a pizza. You are a crazy little lady who loves to eat raw pizza dough and flour. You help Mama a lot in the kitchen and loved adding the flour to the mixer and turning it on. After you helped Mama spread on the sauce and helped yourself to some of the dough before we added the cheese, which you ate too! You make so many dreams come true when you help Mama in the kitchen, I had always pictured us there, cooking and baking for Dada.

Day 17. A Day with Mama and Dada

Today was a day with Mama and Dada. You helped me make muffins in the morning before heading off for a smoothie and soccer with Dada. We played a lot outside and after your nap we went for burritos. We also went to the book store and found a Mama duck for your baby duck, you were very happy and very thankful.

Day 18. A Day at Home

We spent most of the day at home today. We did lots of art, you wanted me to pul down your painting supplies and I think you used every thing in the bin. We taped one of your paintings to a wall in the play room and you even made some art for Mason's hospital crib, they both were beautiful.
