7 Months

Well this face pretty much sums up our day today!  Mason has been extra fussy lately, and I am just not sure why.  But we still have a lot of fun together and I LOVE being his mommy.  Lately he has gotten really good at sitting up and is starting to get up on all fours.  I feed him solids 3 times a day and he loves it!  He is sleeping through the night for the most part and has decided to take a break from laughing for the time being.  Hopefully that comes back soon though!  Oh we just love this little guy!!  

I never posted his six month stats so here they are.  

Height 27 1/2 Inches - 74%

Weight 15lbs 10 oz -14%

Beach Day

With all this beautiful weather we have here, I can't help but want to be at the beach all the time!! I do have to say that going with a baby is much different but still really fun!! I went with my good friend Joelle and her baby Claire.  We decided to go to Capitola so that we could get something to eat as well.  I think next time we will go to a more secluded beach because there were sooo many people there!!

Lots of Catch Up!! - Easter & Utah

I have been totally behind in my blogging but it is time to get back in the swing of things!! For Easter, I went to Utah with Mason and Terrill hung out with his family.  But we also celebrated with the Wolf's the day before we left so that was great!! We decorated Easter eggs and took lots of pictures and had a great time.

When I was in Utah I got to see a lot of family and friends as always.  I spent quality time with my mom.  She taught me how to sew a baby sleeper!  I felt so accomplished.  My mom is such a talented seamstress and I want to learn as much as I can from her! We also made dinner together and went to a pioneer museum downtown Salt Lake.  The whole trip was great.  Unfortunately she got sick the last day we were there so that was no fun!! The baby did great on both flights and for that I am sooo thankful!

*I will add more pics later.  For some reason they aren't in the right format to add to blogger :(

San Antonio Farm

A few weeks ago a couple friends and I headed out the San Antonio Preserve where they have a 1 mile hike to a farm.  It was beautiful outside and I really enjoyed the company!  Mason liked the animals and being outside.  

Giggles

So far the babe has only really giggled for the Grandparents and aunts (what the heck!?!) so I finally figured out how to get to him.  Please excuse the silly behavior, I guess having a baby brings out that side of me.  I am just happy that he giggled for me!!

Our Little Pipsqueak - 4 Month Stats

So we took the babe in for his 4 month check up.  He really didn't like the shots this time and the poor little guy seemed to be in pain for the next 24 hours.  Thank goodness for modern day medicine!  So...he is still pretty small, but is really tall! We are going to start him on rice cereal today and then solids next week.  We are excited and hopefully he is too! :)

Weight: 13lbs 7 oz (25%)

Height: 25 3/4 Inches (80%)

His favorite activities these days are sucking on his hands (all day long!), giggling more, sleeping REALLY well, sticking out his tongue, doing raspberries with his tongue and drooling.  

Here are some pics doing some of his favorite things!

A Real Date

On Saturday 3/10/12 we dropped Mason off at the Wolf's and Terrill and I headed out for a date to the temple and dinner.  I was slightly nervous to leave Mason because the night before he wouldn't take the bottle from Terrill and was screaming for a long time, but overall he did well with the Wolf's.  They said he screamed for about 40 minutes (yikes!!) but we are SOO grateful that they were willing to watch him so we could go out!  Honestly sometimes I think about my life and ask myself why I am so blessed.  I have such a wonderful family and the gospel.  I am just so blessed! We headed up for a 3pm session and it was amazing.  Then we went to the Basil Leaf Cafe in Danville for dinner.  It was delicious and Terrill and I had a great time together.  Now that we have a baby, I really cherish the one on one time we have together!!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Ashley for watching him!!
