-weights 19 lb (BIG boy!)...98th%
-26 inches tall...96%
-eats 8 oz formula 4/day
-sleeps from 8pm-7am
-naps in am for an hour and afternoon for 3 hrs!
-beginning to eat cereal for breakfast
Mason was not so sure about cereal for the first couple days. He made aweful faces, spit it out and cried unconsolably. When we tried it on day 3, however, it was like he had been eating it forever. I guess I will never understand babies! Ever since then he eats about 3 tablespoons every morning for breakfast. The philosophy is that by incorporating cereal they will eat less formula/milk...NOT true with my baby boy. He is still chugging along on the milk.
We also started putting Mason in his bouncy this month...yay for new toys! We have to stuff towels around him as he can't sit up in it on his own quite yet, but that doesn't stop him from playing. After weeks of putting him in his bouncy, I realized that you can push a button and it teaches him colors in 3 different languages..WHO KNEW?! This baby is going to be much smarter than his mom by 5 years old.

Another fun milestone this month....he can ROLL OVER! Of course, this means that laying him on his play mat so that I can get some chores done around the house is no longer an option. It is so funny to watch...I can lay him down and within 10 seconds he is on his belly screaming (he hates being on his tummy...guess I havent incorporated enough "tummy time"). After a while he either realizes it isn't so bad or occasionally he will give up and fall asleep. Here are some fun pics that capture the excitement.
This has been a really exciting month with lots of fun milestones reached. Best of all, he is starting to develop a personality. He is definately a "momma's boy" but there is no one who can make him laugh like his daddy. When Kyle enters the room he just lights up and starts laughing. He loves when Kyle soars him around like an airplane and tells him all his silly jokes (that I would never laugh at but amuse Mason to no end). He has truly been a blessing to our lives and we can't wait to see what this next month brings!
