getting closer

mason is getting closer and closer to 'talking' in a way that someone other than me might be able to understand him.  the funniest thing is that he picks some of the most random words ("nest", "giraffe", "bubble", etc.) and not some of the most everyday (hi, bye, cup, mason, madelyn, etc.).  here is mason saying "bubble":

he has even thrown out a few sentences - "look a lion" (said "ook uh ion") and "hi, big pop".  the "hi, big pop" was so exciting because we were skype-ing with big pop when he said it.  the bummer was that mason pushed the button to disconnect the call before he said it.  oh well.  at least matt heard it too so i know i wasn't just hearing things.  i also think that he was calling grandma "nona".  she wasn't on the call and he was looking for her while signing "more" and saying something like "nona" over and over.  it just goes to his random words because madelyn was able to say "nana" (from "banana") and "papa" right away and had to work for "grandma" and last "big pop". 

it is a little like he is just skipping to the 'advanced' words instead of mastering the easy ones first.  :)  i am just trying to be patient and wait for him to tell us all his thoughts - i can't wait!
