7 Months

Man time is sure flying!! Mason is now 7 months old. He is still growing like a weed! 17 lbs 9 oz and 16 1/4 in long. He is in 9 month clothing. Not only is he growing but he is learning to do new things everyday. We have had a lot of accomplishments this last month. He is now sitting on his own and crawling. This is proving to be a new set of challenges. He loves to chew on cords (yikes), so childproofing has happened again. The only problem with this is I have a 3 1/2 year old who can undo all the childproofing I do. They are keeping me on my toes. Luckily Mason is determined to follow his brother, so at least they are going in the same direction still.

He is still not a fan of solid foods. He will only eat crunchy stuff like cheerios, graham crackers, and teething cookies. Even with self feeding he won't eat any fruits or vegetables. We will keep trying.

Sleeping is also still not happening to well in this house either. He does however nap good. We are up at least twice a night some ties more to eat. Usually he goes to bed at 8 then is up at midnight and 4 am to eat. He usually gets up for the day at 6 am and naps from 9:30-10 till noon and 2-3:30-4. I keep trying to tell him that if he would eat some cereal he wouldn't be hungry so much. lol He just doesn't get my logic.

Now that he is moving he is a lot like his brother...go go go eat sleep.  He still love to jump but does not do it as often since he hates to be cooped up for too long.  Camping is going to be interesting. We go in 2 weeks.  He is a little explorer and has to touch and chew anything he can get his hands on. Can't wait to share the stories of the adventures we will have this summer!

Pictures were hard to get this month, he kept trying to crawl off the couch!



Preschool Boy

Today is Landon's last day of school. AHHH. He has grown up so much since he started school in October. This boy LOVES school. Everyday he gets off the bus he excitedly shows me the art work in his backpack, he walks around singing all his new songs and often when he should be napping he's in his room counting to 20. Now if I actually ask him to do these things he just grins at me. He is talking great finally but sometimes still gets going to fast and no one can understand him.

I have tons of stuff planned to get us through the summer. We are going to watch movies and do the summer reading program at the library. I am also signing him up for swimming lessons in July. Midland has a lot of parks so we are going to explore those and have some picnics. In August  we are going to take him to see Thomas again. We have also talked about doing the Toledo zoo at some point. I am    bound and determined to keep him very busy this summer. Landon needs the structure and business everyday or he gets bored which then makes him act up. Thank goodness for Pintrest! I have tons of awesome looking crafts to do with him. I am hoping to keep him learning so that he can transition back to school smoothly.

Hard to believe my little toddler has grown into a full blown bike riding, potty trained, counting big guy.

(scary part of these pictures is the fact he is wearing 3t pants that were baggy in October and now he is in 4t already. Oh stop growing so fast Landon!!)
