15 (almost 16) Weeks!

Mason is almost 4 months old!!!  Soon we will start baby food full time (his pediatrician says 4 months is ok for Mason).  Mason has a few bites of pears and a little bit of the baby cereal.  We know he is ready because besides being 16 lbs already (!!!) he is very interested in our eating.  He knows to open his mouth when the spoon comes and doesn't spit all of it out, so he actually knows how to swallow.  On the 18th of August he goes in for his 4 month checkup which means more shots but I am curious to get an accurate reading on his weight and height.  Mason nows sleeps through the night usually going to bed anywhere between 8:30-10pm and sleeps till 6:30-8:15am depending on when he went to bed.  I feel like we are very lucky because of this but I do check on him whenever I get up to go to the bathroom because I get a little nervous. :)  Mason nows smiles like crazy and I have gotten some giggles out of him.  Just a few days ago he discovered his feet and grabs for them all the time.  During the day we usually read some books, nap, relax, and do a little tummy time even though he isn't a big fan.  He holds up his head pretty good but just doesn't like to be on his stomach.  We have been away from Mason a few times overnight but his coming weekend is our first full weekend away from him.  He is staying one night at Grandma Dawn's and one night at Mama P & Bapa's.  Since I have last updated Mason has been to 2 weddings.  He was very well behaved at both!  Also something he loves more now is bathtime!  He smiles and giggles for the first few minutes and then the rest of the time (when he remembers how to splash) he will spend the rest of his time doing that with a very concentrated look on his face!  Well I will leave with a few pictures.  Actually quite a few since it has been so long since I posted last!
