8 Months

We have had a crazy fun busy month. Mason got to experience his first trip to Cran Hill Ranch. He did pretty good. Poor guy just wanted to get down and crawl, and was not happy that we wouldn't let him in the dirt. Other than that we all had a great time. Landon had a blast! This is the first year that he was really excited about everything. We have made a few trips to the beach and Mason loves the water! He also enjoys trying to eat the sand (yuck!). On 4th of July we went over for a potluck at our friends then walked to the country club to see the fireworks. Mason loved them. He just sat on my lap in awe!

Mason is growing like a weed! Staying right in the 25th-50th percentile. He is 18 lbs 13 oz and 26 3/4 inches long. He has mastered the eating thing finally! He does a jar of bananas with rice cereal for breakfast and dinner and is slowly eating vegis (a few bites every dinner.) The trick is that his cereal with bananas must be lumpy and cold...weird child! His favorite thing to snack on is graham crackers, he just loves them! He is also finally sleeping through the night (or at least able to self-soothe back to sleep if he does wake).

I don't give him to much longer before he is walking around (holding on). He pulls himself up and is standing very well (not as wobbly anymore). He is also learning that if he looses his balance to land on his butt not his head. He has taken a few steps holding on to the chair. YIKES!! He is master crawler and chases me around the house. So excited to see what next month brings!
