It is a little crazy when I hear myself saying, "Oh, Mason will be turning one next month." Time flies is an understatement! He is more fun every day and I just love my little bubba!
Just yesterday he took his very first steps! We were watching a firetruck and an ambulance out the window when he decided to let go of the table he was holding on to and take three steps toward me. I then made him do it over and over until he sat down and refused to do it again. So exciting! Hopefully he'll be walking by the time he turns one!
He has also become quite the troublemaker!
-He knows how to turn on and off the water in the shower
-He knows how to open and close the drain
-He knows how to work a doorknob (and is nearly tall enough to reach them without being on his tip toes)
-He throws everything off of his highchair when he is done eating
-He hides things under the couch
-He can reach the top of the bathroom counter (and sadly, burned his fingers on my straightener the other day)
-He bites...
-He can open and close my dresser drawers (and takes out all of my clothes)
-He unravels the toilet paper in about three seconds flat, then eats it.
-He took every tampon out of the box and threw them everywhere in the bathroom
His newest "trick" is climbing into his old car seat. He will stand and try and rock it back and forth or just sit in it and play with the buckle.
He still only has his two bottom teeth. All four of his top teeth are about ready to pop through and when they do I will be giving him a hamburger for the first time!
He wears size 4 or 5 in shoes and his clothes are all at least size 18 months!
That Bumbo seat is also where he gets his haircuts every three weeks. He would have hair down to his shoulders if I didn't ever cut it.
He finally decided that he likes popsicles. It could be because he figured out that he can hold the stick and not the popsicle itself.
Other favorite foods are Mac-and-Cheese, cheese, yogurt, milk, apple cinnamon oatmeal, scrambled eggs, mangos, peas, pancakes, honeydew melon, watermelon, raspberries, mandarin oranges and sweet potatoes.
My favorite news about this month is that he officially sleeps through the night! Just over a week ago he wouldn't let me rock him to sleep so I laid him in his crib and he rolled over and went to sleep - no tears!
I was hoping it wasn't going to be just a one night thing and lucky for me, it has become a habit! I am so glad that I never let him "cry it out" because I simply couldn't deal with it. I guess I just had to let him decide when he was ready to be a big boy and sleep in his own bed all the way through the night!
Besides that, there isn't anything too new to post since I posted everything else in the last one.
We love our Mason and can't believe that we will be having his first birthday party in one month!!
