6 Month Update

We took Mason in for his 6 month check up Friday…this kid weighs 18 lbs 1 oz now, I was a little surprised, he feels like he weighs a lot more! It’s crazy to see how much he’s learned & changed over the past 6 months. He loves walks & loves to be outside! He’s rolling all over & now doing the “army crawl” so when he wants something, he gets it. He loves food, as you can see in his cheeks! Anytime he sees someone take a drink or sees a cup sitting close he wants it. He’ll try all he can to get to it & let you know when he’s not happy that you won’t share.  Mason does this new thing when he’s mad where he holds his breath & spits while he cries…it’s actually funny & it makes me not feel too bad for him. He loves popsicles, strawberries, suckers, pickles, snow cones, crackers…you name it, and he’ll eat it!  He's got his 2 bottom teeth & those things are sharp! Poor kids always cutting his fingers. We've been watching his eyes because they are mostly brown but the left one has lots of blue in it, I don't think they're going to be just one color. It looks like ones stayin blue & one brown! He’s saying ba-ba, da-da, ga-ga…all sorts of weird noises we just wish he knew what the da-da meant! He’ll figure it out soon I’m sure!  Mason loves attention; he likes to entertain whoever will look at him at church. He gets the biggest grin once someone makes eye contact with him, then he yells & you know they smiled at him.  (just like the picture below) Mason is learning to wave, we wave bye to him & he copies most of the time.
He LOVES his dad, Nic can walk in the room & Masons face just lights up! He’ll be all but asleep & Nic will say something & if Mason hears that voice, his eyes shoot wide open! He’s turning into a curious little boy! He loves the water! We take him to the lake & he’s just happy as can be! He always wants to do something different, he doesn’t let us just stay in the house & relax anymore! Time flies…I can’t believe he’s already 6 months it’s just getting more fun every day & he makes us so happy! We love you Mase!
