worlds worst blogger.

Oh wow, where do I start? I love how I am the worlds best blogger and made it to Masons 11 month blog, and left the world hanging for his first birthday!!! I decided to jump back on the blog bandwagon as we have a new and beautiful addition to the Maroney family. As you know, our sweet Mya Rose entered on 6/26/13, and we have all enjoyed every second of our now complete family.

Family tradition

It is an annual Maroney / Mousaw tradition to venture to the Tree lot and cut down our own tree. This year we had our little helper with us! He was able to boss direct us towards which tree he liked the best. After an hour or so, and Mason approving, we were able to find "the perfect tree." This is my new favorite tradition :)

December 22, 2011

My dad, your papadurr, would have been 64 years old today.  He would not have liked this green stuff this close to his favorite holiday.

I don't usually do internet messages to the deceased, but if .... by chance..... you stumble upon my horribly unorgonized little blog Happy birthday dad, you are thought about everyday. Missing you like crazy. Lots of love,
Mkm

we're simply having a wonderful christmas time

Christmas is quickly approaching , which means the days are going by faster. There are not enough hours in a day during this time. But I did set a new record this year, I was able to get my holiday card out BEFORE christmas . those of you who know me , know that is huge!

Christmas time!

what a wonderful time of year! I must say I noticed that I am finally back to my "old Christmas spirit self" I haven't quite been my full christmas spirit self since 2003. I lost it for a bit, but by golly I'm back!
I owe a lot of it to my sweet son who has opened my eyes up to a lot this year.
He is so excited for "presents" but when you tell him Santa is bringing the presents he will say "no!" "i don't want Santa hea!"  Yes, he is deathly afraid of dear old Santa. 
We took him to Santa in the park, here in Canton and let's just say when Santa came to town Mason left. Fast.

Back at it! Via mobile.

Wow this is great! I discovered tonight that there is an app for this! How exciting, now maybe I can pick up after my 1 year hiatus  (or however long it happened to be) another super awesome feature about this is I can talk to text ! Talk about lazy eh?
Well now let's see if I can post a few pictures of my little man who is growing by the second!

*since there has been such a lapse of time I will go through my pics and post favorites :)

11 months just ONE more month

wow Mason 11 months.  That means only 30 days until you have been with us for ONE whole year. O-M-G.

*OMG  your favorite song of the year by Usher.

-You are one bubbly, on-the-go, into e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g most curious little boy I know.  The one thing I still can't understand is how is it that your ever moving body only requires 6-8 hours of sleep at night?  Well I shouldn't complain because you have come alonggg way since birth. So I'll take it ;)  

This month, you have soaked up so much!! Ball, Bottle, Nose, Belly, Mama, Meme, Daddy, etc...You are able to get to where you want and whatever you want, and you are VERY persistent about it. Your method of movement is your army crawl and walker. Most of the time you're traveling to an unsafe destination or trying to get something that you shouldn't have so you spend quite a bit of time yelling at us.  You continue to love Diesel, Daddy, your walker, balls, and OUTSIDE.  I would have to say being outdoors is your favorite place to be... I cringe when I think of our upcoming season!! 

~you pulled yourself up at the beginning of the month 
~also your top 2 teeth appeared - which makes four!
~you will walk behind your walker (pushing it) gaining more confidence each day. (still scared though)

~you are starting to eat a variety of soft / semi chunky foods - picky when first introduced, but usually you'll try it the second time.. We found that if you are able to feed yourself you are happier about it, must taste better ;)
~formula / water and some juice throughout the day 
~size 4 diapers
~size 12-18 clothing

The worst habit we have so far is your bedtime routine...on some nights when you are over tired and refuse to close those eyes you will scream, and scream.  We have to come in and stand over your crib - you are content with our presence and that stops you from crying.  However, you have to be fast asleep before we leave - sometimes I fall asleep on the floor with my hand in yours until I know you're fast asleep.  Daddy has had to crawl out several times because once we hit that crack in the floor - awake you will be! 

As you can see I could write all night long, but I'll leave you with this:

~I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living. My baby you'll be~

Love you more than anything Mason John!

9/10 months

Okay seeing as though you will be turning 10 months in a few days, I figured it was a good time to write up your 9 month blog.

Let's see during the 9th month of your life you were blessed with your cousins presence, for the WHOLE month.  You loved it, and they loved it.  especially Marney, she took the best care of you and helped Meme out the best she knew how.  You followed them around in your walker, and watched their every move.  Boy we will miss them.  Also you had a great time with Aunts Mandi, Kendra and Uncle John - they watched and played with you too.  

*Also during the ninth month you started eating chunkier food - stage 3! You are growing everyday and we can't keep up with your food intake!

*At your appt you weighed 21.5 #.  The RN didn't measure you, I meant to when I got home, but do you think I remembered that?

*Chances are by next month you will be standing on your own, you can't wait.  You want everything  that moves, or any toy that Diesel has.   

*I have a feeling next month, we are going to be making huge developments!! See you in a few days blogspot! (don't hold your breath)

<3 momma. momma. momma

8 months

Wow - 8 months - Really??

When did you get so big??  You are beginning to turn into our very own miniature sized line backer Mason.  You are about 21 lbs and you are incredibly long.  You are wearing 12-24 months clothes & size 4 diapers.  This past month was a tough one for us, especially your daddy.  Your dear great-grandfather passed away.  You were able to meet almost all of your famly..Everyone just loves you!!!

On a lighter note here are some highlights that took place this month for you:

~You can high five like it's nobody's business

*Eating is your favorite hobby

-Smiling and laughing is your second

~Rolling over is something you choose NOT to do.  You are perfectly capable of doing it but your back is just such a better place to be.

*You can bounce / jump in your bouncy seat til the cows come home

-You love being on the go go go and being around people

~You still light up the most when you see your daddy (sigh) haha

*Duchy and Diesel are your favorite pals - (Diesel more so)

-Two teeth have made their appearance - (and many rough nights)

~You like to assist during feeding time - so most times you get your own spoon the entire time!

*You have a little bit of an attitude when things don't go your way (hope this is just a stage) lol!

you're loved more than you'll ever know!!!

love ya bub,

mommy

 

pics to come --since i'm blogger of the year!!

let's back up!

Mason - you were baptized on April 11, 2010.  Your fairy godparents are Aunt Mandi , and Mark's best friend Uncle Pete.



You were loved by so many on that day - relatives came from near and far!!! Love you little man!!

I just had to do it - you wore this beautiful gown - people that also wore this were :  Meme - Great Uncle Mike, Great Uncle Tom, Uncle John, Aunt Mandi and myself.  Now do you see why? 

7 month recap ..a few days late

jees i've come to conclusion that i really am the worst blogger!! 

i guess i'm still making your monthly update so i haven't totally lost the blog scene yet.

okayy, well we had a surprise visit  a week ago, which happened to fall around your 7 month mark.  You weigh 19.5 and you're 28" long. Your weight is pretty solid, and i would say your equiv to an extra (heavy) sack of potatoes. my back could tell you about that!  we had to make an appearance at the Dr. because you had your first ear infection.  now that is by far the worst experience as a mama that i've had to go through with you..you were so sad, and in such pain!  thankfully we got you under control with some antiobiotics.

the dr. said it could be correlated to your teething, which i thought the same - however those little dickens are yet to pop through!!!

*you wear size 12 clothing in two piece outfits and size 12-18 in one piece. 

~you are in size 3 diapers however i think you will be moving on to 4's soon.

**my back feels as though it's been through a war 

~you are a bit of a nosey josey - you don't like to miss a thing.  your bed time is between 8-10 and you are always up at 5:30 no matter what time you crash.

*it's safe to say that sleep is your least favorite activity (next to tummy time)

~you find that tummy time is a waste of your time when you could be spending it by sitting up stuffing various toys into your mouth.
*since last month aunt mandi taught you peek-a-boo with your blanket.you. just. love. that.
~you're getting the jist of high fiving
*we've experimented a few times with water fun, and i see a future filled with it!! (pictures to come)

lastly, you love to be loved...you find it very rude when people walk by you and don't say anything - you will coo at them until you get their attention!

love you more than you'll ever know.

xoxx

I want to dedicate a whole blog to feetsie pajamas..why you ask? because I. LOVE. THEM.  there is not anything cuter in the world then feetsie jammies, I will try to fit you in these until they no longer make them in your length..I hope that at 13 I can still find some that fit you :)  (Kidding!)
