8 months

Wow - 8 months - Really??

When did you get so big??  You are beginning to turn into our very own miniature sized line backer Mason.  You are about 21 lbs and you are incredibly long.  You are wearing 12-24 months clothes & size 4 diapers.  This past month was a tough one for us, especially your daddy.  Your dear great-grandfather passed away.  You were able to meet almost all of your famly..Everyone just loves you!!!

On a lighter note here are some highlights that took place this month for you:

~You can high five like it's nobody's business

*Eating is your favorite hobby

-Smiling and laughing is your second

~Rolling over is something you choose NOT to do.  You are perfectly capable of doing it but your back is just such a better place to be.

*You can bounce / jump in your bouncy seat til the cows come home

-You love being on the go go go and being around people

~You still light up the most when you see your daddy (sigh) haha

*Duchy and Diesel are your favorite pals - (Diesel more so)

-Two teeth have made their appearance - (and many rough nights)

~You like to assist during feeding time - so most times you get your own spoon the entire time!

*You have a little bit of an attitude when things don't go your way (hope this is just a stage) lol!

you're loved more than you'll ever know!!!

love ya bub,

mommy

 

pics to come --since i'm blogger of the year!!

let's back up!

Mason - you were baptized on April 11, 2010.  Your fairy godparents are Aunt Mandi , and Mark's best friend Uncle Pete.



You were loved by so many on that day - relatives came from near and far!!! Love you little man!!

I just had to do it - you wore this beautiful gown - people that also wore this were :  Meme - Great Uncle Mike, Great Uncle Tom, Uncle John, Aunt Mandi and myself.  Now do you see why? 

7 month recap ..a few days late

jees i've come to conclusion that i really am the worst blogger!! 

i guess i'm still making your monthly update so i haven't totally lost the blog scene yet.

okayy, well we had a surprise visit  a week ago, which happened to fall around your 7 month mark.  You weigh 19.5 and you're 28" long. Your weight is pretty solid, and i would say your equiv to an extra (heavy) sack of potatoes. my back could tell you about that!  we had to make an appearance at the Dr. because you had your first ear infection.  now that is by far the worst experience as a mama that i've had to go through with you..you were so sad, and in such pain!  thankfully we got you under control with some antiobiotics.

the dr. said it could be correlated to your teething, which i thought the same - however those little dickens are yet to pop through!!!

*you wear size 12 clothing in two piece outfits and size 12-18 in one piece. 

~you are in size 3 diapers however i think you will be moving on to 4's soon.

**my back feels as though it's been through a war 

~you are a bit of a nosey josey - you don't like to miss a thing.  your bed time is between 8-10 and you are always up at 5:30 no matter what time you crash.

*it's safe to say that sleep is your least favorite activity (next to tummy time)

~you find that tummy time is a waste of your time when you could be spending it by sitting up stuffing various toys into your mouth.
*since last month aunt mandi taught you peek-a-boo with your blanket.you. just. love. that.
~you're getting the jist of high fiving
*we've experimented a few times with water fun, and i see a future filled with it!! (pictures to come)

lastly, you love to be loved...you find it very rude when people walk by you and don't say anything - you will coo at them until you get their attention!

love you more than you'll ever know.
