Life of the Sev's: Party time

I have to say, Mason's birthday party was one of the most successful parties that we've ever had! I was so thankful to have Cheri and Wally here to help Brandon and I get the house looking nice for our company. It was the first time most of my family had seen the house so I wanted to make sure it looked nice :) We had an amazing time being with everyone!

We had a total of 32 people here which was actually a really nice number. Mason had some friends over and was smiling ear to ear! Brandon and I both said we hadn't seen him this happy in a loooonnnggg time! The best moment was when we started singing happy birthday to him. It's almost at that moment that he realized "whoa, this is all for me!" He blew out his candles and got a chance to open up some amazing presents. He has more cars than any kid I know it's ridiculous!

Today was his 2 year check up and it was a really good chance for me to discuss with the doctor his speech concerns. We found out he is in the 100% range for height and 65% for weight. When I told his doctor my concern with the early on coordinator we were assigned (because she's ALWAYS late and spacey) My doctor agreed she would recommend to Early On that he needs an actual speech therapist assigned to us not a coordinator. She also seemed concerned that Mason isn't making sentences yet. I am trying not to get too emotional about it but man is it hard not being able to communicate with my little man! I so so so bad want him to be able to communicate his needs with me. I am crossing my fingers that the new speech therapist will pay special attention to him and give me an idea of what we can do more to help him.

This Thursday I have my 17.5 week appointment for baby! I have been feeling little movements but nothing like I did with Mason at this stage. I hope everything is ok in there! Maybe it's a shy and calm baby? I'm excited that the next appointment will be the gender reveal ultrasound. More importantly, we will be able to make sure baby is healthy and growing well. I think we are going to reveal the baby gender in a fun way! Mandi has already volunteered to video us doing something clever :) Here are some special pictures from the weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
