7 Months

Mason...I can't believe another month has flown by. You are now 7 months old! (for those of you who read my blog, ignore the fact that I haven't posted in a long, long time)!

Let's see what you are doing now; you have learned a lot this month:

• You weighed in at 17 pounds 13 ounces at your 6 month check-up, and were 26 1/2 inches long. You are longer than you are heavy...so you look very skinny.
  
• You now eat 3 or 4 jars of baby food every day and cereal once or twice; you are a great eater!



• You are crawling for real now, not just the army crawl or scooting, but actually crawling everywhere.



• You are getting into everything now, and crawl faster when someone is after you!



• You are pulling yourself up already; trying to walk along furniture and trying to grab everything on every table; we are in so much trouble.




• You have been camping for the first time this past month. For Labor Day weekend, we went camping, in a pop-up camper and you had a blast.



• Mason, you are a great baby, very happy and always smiling or laughing.

• You can say 'da-da' now, and say it all the time.
• You started waving and clapping (patty-cake) this month, too.


• You have been sick for the first time this past week and are now on antibiotics for the first time ever, but you love the Amoxicillin, take it like a champ.


• You play and interact with us so much more nowadays; Allison and Preston just adore you!

Mason, you have brought so much joy into our lives and make everyone around you happy. You are an easy-going happy baby whom we all love so very much. Before we know it, you will be running around the house and tearing everything apart; I can't believe how fast you are growing! We love you so much.
