march 1. 2010

Okay so I boycotted this for a little while.. I became very frustrated one day while trying to change my layout...I worked on it for almost an hour..to make a long boring story short not one  good came out of it!


On March 1, we had Mason's 4 month check up, shots included! I have a huge soft spot when it comes to shot day that I have made Mark  hold his hands each time.  I just can't bring myself to go through that awful pain with him!  This time around he did 100% better than last time, I think because the extra chunk helped. ;)  Oh and the weight I had for your 3 months is inaccurate because I did it at home. 


We discovered that you were 15.7 lbs (50-75%) and you were 26" long. (95%) !  You are a growing boy, you've grown so much that even some of your 6-9 outfits don't fit you anymore!!


Since the Dr. visit, we started introducing some fruits and a few veggies to you.  So far you are not a picky eater, you love everything!  We are holding off on the green veggies, and sticking to the lighter foods.  I would say that your favorites so far are bananas and applesauce!  You can't get enough.  We give you 1 fruit or veg a day, and some cereal at night with bottles in between.  This seems to satisfy you however we are still meeting up at 4, and 5 am sometimes!  Your naps usually consist of 2 or 3 "catnaps" where you sleep on average 20 minutes long.  However there are some days that you will sleep a 2 hour stretch, but that's usually when you are with Meme...


On the weekends you like to stay as busy as possible, meaning everywhere Mama goes, you demand to go to.  It makes for a day filled of exercise for me going up and down stairs, putting things away, etc. with you on hip!  I must say you are not the lightest little baby!!


Everyday I think you gain 5 lbs, I think it's time that your mother starts lifting weights and exercising more consistently!!!


Your favorite things include: one fist, 2 fists in mouth, smiling, standing up on our laps, taking in every minute you can, your father, making funny noises, bath time, being on the go - shopping, going for rides, and we can't forget your food!! You have started to put your hands out and lean into the person that wants to hold you..it's so cute. You are a very happy baby and a joy to have in our lives.  I love every minute with you! You make us smile every day, love you Bubb!  <3 your Mama
