10 Months

All I can say is wow! I can not believe that Mason is 2 months away from being a year old already. Not much has changed this last month. He has grown a little and is now 21 lbs and 28 inches long. I officially cleaned out his closet and he is now in all 12 month clothing. This boy loves to eat, however he is starting to boycott baby food again. He is over it and is ready to eat what we are eating. Too bad he only has 2 teeth. I've been giving him little bits of what ever we are having as well as canned fruits and vegetables that he can feed him self. He is loving it. He will eat anything I give him. No picky eater here.

He is also getting more steady on his feet and is walking along the couch. Still not standing or walking on his own. Which is fine by me. He is a really fast crawler and when he gets on a hard surface he bear walks (hands and feet). He is a very happy guy and is always laughing and blowing zerberts. 

This month he got to spend a day with is Auntie Anna and Auntie Katie at the beach and we went to Great Grandma and Papa's house for labor day weekend. We are also spending some quality Momma and Mason time while brother is at school. His favorite toys this month have been his big truck and balls. He loves chasing them around the house. 

Can't wait to see how much he grows next month. Hopefully some more teeth so he can chew a little better!

First Day of Preschool (year 2)

Landon has been asking if there is school tomorrow since his last day in June. He has really missed it. Finally Monday we got to tell him yes you do have school tomorrow. He was so excited.

We have been getting ready the last few weeks. He got to pick out his back pack (Monster's University), and his new school shirts. It was surprisingly fun to shop with him. I thought it would be a nightmare, but really it was a ton of fun. He is growing up so quickly! He is still his wild and crazy self, however it is getting easier to do things with him. He picked out 9 shirts, 2 were Monsters University...I'm sensing a theme with this kid. I also took him to get new tennis shoes. After getting him measured (he grew 1 1/2 sizes this summer) he picked out light up cars shoes...which I'm guessing is because Monster's U was not an option. He also found cars rain boots in his size and they were both on sale (Score for mommy!)

Later in the week I took him for his first real haircut. I have just been buzzing his hair, mostly because he hates sitting still and partially because it was cheaper. He sat so still and did such a great job. She even put some gel in at the end, which he thought was the coolest thing ever. Every day he asks if he can get his haircut again. Sorry guy hair doesn't grow that fast.

His school moved to a different building this year, so we got to go to an open house to see the new building and his new classroom. His new classroom is huge!! I think he is going to have a great year. He has the same teacher (Mrs. Oeming) and parapros as last year. He was excited to see them and didn't want to leave the open house.

His bus ride is a little longer this year but because he is the first stop he only has to get on 10 minutes earlier.We were very happy to see his morning bus driver and bus helper are the same. He was soooo excited to ride the bus. He had a great first week! He actually came home everyday and told me what he did. Here hoping this excitement keeps up.

What a difference a year makes!
