Size: Waiting to find out October 18th at the doctor for his 6 month check up...and shots :(
Sleep: It has been all over the place lately. Sometimes he naps a lot during the day but mostly he doesn't nap at all and if he does it is very short naps. Yesterday he woke up around 7 then only had two naps for about a total of 1 hour. He went to bed at about 6:30pm, woke up at about 8 to cry for his pacifier, and then screaming at 4:45. He got a bottle then went back to sleep in his crib for 1 hour then slept with me in bed for another two. Tonight he took a quick nap at about 6, had a bath, bottle and 2 books then asleep for about 10 minutes. Then he was up for about a half an hour and I am just waiting to see when he wakes up tomorrow...hopefully around 7 like normal and not before 5 am!
New Things: He is getting better and better at sitting up. He is usually sitting up with the help of his boppy pillow so if he tumbles backwards he lands on that but I have to watch the front of him or he tries to take a dive off the couch head first. On the floor he is doing good too and I can't believe soon I will have an independent sitter! He also grabs for things all the time now...especially my cell phone or the remote. We grabbed an extra remote, took out the batteries and he plays with that. Now when we feed him he is always grabbing at his bowl or spoon so now we have to watch that too.
Food: We just switched him to the fast nipple bottles so his bottles are going a lot quicker which is nice for when he decides he wants to eat right when we are. He eats solid foods daily and I am still trying to get in a schedule with that. I am pretty sure teeth about to pop out because I can see and slightly feel something and a side effect of that (teething) is poor eating so the last few days with solids have been hell. He doesn't seem to like anything we give him. We did try his first meat (apples with chicken) and he eat that really good but when we tried again a day later he wouldn't eat that or the veggies we gave him. New things he can start (but we haven't yet) are egg yolk and yogurt. I bought some baby banana yogurt but haven't worked up the courage to give it to him and I'm not quite sure how to do the egg yolk so I am waiting for his appointment with the doctor first.
Best Moments: This past football Sunday Mason took an hour and a half nap with Russel on the couch while I got some things done and took a looonngg shower. It is always great when the phone rings and it is Russel, I put it on speaker and Mason smiles at the phone. Plus when Dad gets home he puts on the shy smiles because he is sooooo excited to see him. Mason also just loves the dogs. Russel and I have to work at the laughs but just one glance at the dogs he is smiling or laughing his head off. He has started "petting" them or actually pulling at their fur but they have been pretty good about it so far and just lick him like crazy when he does.
Well I guess just the pictures are left...There are some from the beginning of this week and also from when he turned 6 months...
