How is it possible that six months have passed since I was in the hospital with Mason. Six Months ago today we were going home with a baby and preparing ourselves to spend the first night alone with this lil guy.

I can definitely see why people have more than one child. I snuggle with Mason at night and sometimes think to myself that I will miss that when he is 2 or 3.


We went to the doctors yesterday and she was happy with his progress. He is currently 15 lbs 2 oz, 26 inches long, & has a head circumference of 43 cm. She said he looks great.

Mason was starting to fuss while we were waiting for the doctor so I put him on his tummy to play with the paper on the table. The doctor walked in and she said the way he was holding himself up was great and he looks like he is making great progress.

We talked about food and how much we should be giving him. She said to stick with the 25-30 ounces of formula per day along with the food once or twice a day. **Tim and I decided last week that we had to be more diligent about feeding him food. We were doing it when we had the time in a day and now we are committed to giving him solids at least once per day.

While she was checking him he started coughing. I told her that the cough has been around for more than a month and now his eyes are gooping (word?) up. I had to help him out the other morning by putting a warm washcloth on his eye to wash the goop away. She decided to prescribe him an antibiotic to see if it would help clear him up.
Mason Likes:

• Cuddles with Mom & Dad - I think we both get some snuggle time with him at least once a day. I hope that he does not grow out of that for a good long time. 
• He still loves his O-Ball. We bring it everywhere we go because he will be occupied with it.

• His Jumperoo... He loves to jump. I can get on the treadmill and get a good 45-80 minute walk before he starts to fuss. I am very lucky that something keeps him occupied for that long so I can get a workout in. 
• His Ball toy - my mom gave him a toy that has six balls with it and they bounce all around. He figures out a way to roll himself to that toy almost every time I put him down on his play mat. He also knows how to get it going again when it turns off. 

• Sledding. We need more snow! He is so calm and seems to have a great time when out on his sled. 

Remember last month when the cat crashed our monthly photoshoot? We had a photo crasher again this month, but this time it was the dog.
