6 Months

Mason, my sweet little Mason. He has a temper like his mother and the lungs to boot, has reached his mid year point of his first year. It really has gone by quickly but I did have great distractions with the holidays.

Mason, you are cooing all the time and have started to buzz your lips like your Mommy. You are grabbing everything in your sight and stick it straight in your mouth. You love to pull Mommy's long hair and hold it when she is carrying you like a stabilizing rope.  You can drink some water out of a cup and you dislike your Mother's cooking. I went out of my way to grind up rice for your for your first meal and you turned your nose up at it and threw the whole thing up. I pull out the box of organic rice cereal and your gobbled the thing up like it was the best thing on the world, well second best to Mommy!

You are rolling over from belly to back all the time. You are trying to lift your big belly off the ground and are getting ready to start crawling. You love watching the computer especially if Daddy is on there and love hearing Skype dial because it gets your attention every time. You enjoy watching TV with Mommy. Oh and you can stay sitting up on your own almost all the time now.

You have one tooth that is visible and 3 more that that are about to come in. You weigh 18 pounds 2.5 ounces and are 26 inches tall. You are growing too fast.

I am so thankful that you are part of our family and Daddy is too. We just wish he was here to get to "know" you. That will come true in just a few short 6 months. He will be home by your birthday and we are so happy for that. Happy 6 months baby boy!
