Six months...

Six Months!  How are we already here?!!



Weight: 19lbs 6.9oz
Height: 27"
Size clothes: 6-9 month clothes
Size diaper: Size 3
Eating: Nurses about 6 times a day and eats baby food once or twice a day.  Is doing well with all the stage one foods we have tried!
Sleeping: Typically wakes one, sometimes two, times a night.  Thankfully he will go back to sleep very quickly if I nurse him, so I do...every time he wakes up... :)  Naps three times a day..usually two good naps and a cat nap here and there in the car.

If my back didn't hurt so bad when we use this, we would use it a lot more!  Sweet boy loves being in the Ergo.


Those cheeks...those chins...goodness I love a chunky baby!

This month we went to HAWAII!  It was a last minute trip that will have a post all to itself, but this boy was such an amazing traveler!  Two days of travel, 10 1/2 hours total in a plane...Mason didn't skip a beat.  I was so nervous but he did so good!  He may have nursed for about 8 hours straight...ha...but it worked!  I am so thankful we had this time with Nannie - it is a trip that we will never forget and that I'm so thankful Mason will have pictures of to look back on!


Emma loves to hold her baby brother...Mason loves it too...can't you tell?  :)  We are still working on her holding techniques!


All three of my babies have loved their sleep sacks - it signals bed time for them and helps make a smooth transition to bed.


First visit to the pumpkin patch! 


I don't want to ever forget the feeling of holding you as you are sleeping.  My heart could explode out of my chest with love for you, sweet boy!


That little tongue still stays out most of the time, but it's not as prominent as it was before.  Dr. Wilson says that as your mouth grows your tongue will fit inside better :) 


You like the Johnny Jumper, but I think Emma likes having you in it even more.  She loves to swing you back and forth...and she loves to put her baby dolls in it when you are not.  All of your baby items have doubled as baby doll items!


Sitting up like a big boy!  You are still a bit wobbly but you are getting better and stronger each day..we are so proud of you!


Our baby gift from my parents was this rug for our den - and I am SO thankful for it!  Before, we had a jute rug that although it was a beautiful rug, it was not soft and shed really bad - it would not have been comfortable for a baby to roll around on and would have been a mess!
