Kindred Spirits

Mason and McKinley are so funny! They really couldn't survive a day without each other. If one of them wakes up before the other, they try to get into each others' rooms, they can't stand waiting without each other. They don't always get along perfectly, but they just love to be with each other. Mason is talking a ton lately, but longer words are still hard for him. The one long word that he has down pat is 'Kinley'. I hear him running around all day calling to Kinley. It is really so cute. We kind of joke about their funny little relationship. Mason was kind of a surprise baby, we weren't exactly trying, but he came along nonetheless. We like to say that he was so mad at Kinley for leaving him by himself in heaven that he had to hurry down to be with her :) They are too funny, they wrestle all the time (seriously, WWF style rolling on the ground), play baseball and barbies, throw food at each other, and cuddle and read stories. McKinley has taken it upon herself to be Mason's second mommy from the day he was born. She worries when he cries, climbs into his bed to comfort him, gets his toys when he drops them, protects him from 'bullies,' and watches out for him when they play outside. They really are so sweet and love each other so much, it melts my heart (even when they tease each other and wrestle:) ). I love my little monkeys, they really are kindred spirits! (In the photos Mason did NOT want his picture taken, McKinley tried to lovingly hug him and convince him that he should smile, but it was NOT working. I snapped plenty of pictures anyway because I thought it was funny!)
