Mason is 6 months old!

Oops, that happened 9 days ago.

Oh well, he didn’t even know it happened. But we did sing him a “Happy 6 month Birthday” song : ) Not sure if we even took pictures… we must be bad parents.

Mason’s been having dinner with us every night, and we’ve just started him on lunches as well. His loves are carrots, sweet potato and apples, and he currently hates all things green. I whipped up a massive amount of baby food for him during naps so I don’t have to make any for another month or two; unless all he eats are the apples, carrots, and sweet potatoes… though we’re getting pretty good at hiding the peas and green beans in the foods he likes. I made some zucchini and asparagus, but I’ve yet to try to force that on him. Maybe I’ll make Nathan do it. : )

Mason has started scooting around everywhere, not just rolling anymore. He hasn’t figured out that he needs to move his arms yet, so he pretty much just flops onto the ground right now, but it’s movement, and it’s cute.

Okay, okay, here are some pictures.

Don’t worry, Nathan’s hair is cut, so he doesn’t look like a bum anymore. Just focus on the sleeping baby.

This is not a hat (or a book, mom) It’s a stacking toy! On Mason’s head! Anyone else finding it as funny as us? No? Oh well.

Heehee.

Mason rolled over to Bruno last night. “Hiya, buddy!”

Don’t they look so happy together? Bosco couldn’t be trusted to hang out in their little group, so he’s sitting by the couch sulking.

“I want to eat your fur!”

“Sayonara sucker.”

His 6 month appointment went well- except for the shots.

He’s 17 lbs 9 oz, and 26 3/4 inches long- which are both in the 65th percentile. He’s getting so big on us! Guess that’s what happens, but it’s still pretty darn fast and we’re just not ready for it.

Hopefully I’ll take more pictures soon : )

We’re back!

Our “vacation” home went pretty well- Mason slept most of the plane rides (thank goodness) and that made it pretty nice. I brought my camera along, but unfortunately forgot to take pictures most of the time. I suppose it’s okay because other people took lots of pictures for us! I just wish Mason hadn’t have caught a cold… he’s just stopped the coughing, but his little nose is still a bit runny.

He is so close to crawling, and he can <almost> sit up by himself. He sits pretty well, which makes bath time SO much easier!

Anyway, here are some pictures:

Mason’s Christmas presents from us; he was happy in his bouncer, so that’s where he stayed.

Yum, bows!

 

After bath time : )

Mason turns 6 months old in 9 days- I can’t believe it’s been 6 months already. He’s getting so big, we’re looking forward to seeing the differences from his 4 month checkup to his 6 month checkup.

Also, he’s been sleeping about 12 hours straight every night! He also just slept 1.5 hours in his crib for a nap! Now I can get sleep at night and get things done during the day. Another exciting bit of news (for us, anyway) is that we’ve been having family dinners at the table with Mason. He’s tried squash, green beans, and carrots so far, and he loves it! Of course, he normally gets a bath afterward because he is such a messy eater, but it’s so cute we don’t care.

Until next time!
