1-2-3 jump

so mason has a new game.  i call it "1-2-3-jump" and he calls it something like "un-ah-da-UMP".  basically he stands on the airplane toy and steps off the side.  the first few times he held on to the wall while stepping off, but on friday he got much braver and did it most towards the middle of the room.  i love how excited/scared he gets right before he steps off the side.  he only plays this game with the airplane toy too.

i didn't get him 'counting' in the video, unfortunately, but i think that they give a sense into how the kids entertain themselves here in the apartment - general silliness.  at the very end of the second video i got mason to 'say' some of his 'words'.  this was the first time that he actually tried to say them on command and i was so excited that i couldn't think of which words he knows best.  it isn't really the best examples of his pronunciation, but it gives you an idea.  at least i can understand him.  i will try to get better video of him 'talking' soon.  love.

The kids must love that the entire home is their playroom! The video of Mason is priceless and I love that Maddie remembers that she wore her hat in Florida at the beach. mason is getting such a personality and loved hearing his words.
