3 Months

My sweet baby boy will be 3 months old tomorrow! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! He has just started wearing 3-6 and 6 month clothes, and it's been kinda fun going through all of the clothes that he'll be wearing soon. Right now, I'm just trying to keep him cool and comfy, since it's been in the 100s every day for the last week or so. Here are a few recent pictures that I LOVE!

Since Mason likes to stand up so much, Grammy and Grandpa got him a walker/bouncer so he can sit/stand up on his own. He seems to like it so far!

On Saturday, Brandy and Dustin had their little girl, Tennie. She weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and was 19 inches long. She is tiny and absolutely adorable! Here are a few pictures from her birthday:

And here's one of Mason and Tennie together, kinda makes me laugh! =)

We're so blessed to have these beautiful, healthy babies in our lives!

Things have been a bit crazy around here, and it's been forever since I updated. I apologize to the 2 people who actually read this blog. =) Mason has started doing all kinds of fun things - he's smiling like crazy (especially at the fan in his room), trying to laugh, sleeping 6-8 hours at a time, chewing on anything and everything he can get in his mouth, and trying to sit and stand, (in fact, he's not happy unless we're helping him sit/stand). We're pretty sure he's teething already, which has caused a few fussy days, but nothing too bad. Since my last post, he's stayed with Grammy and Grandpa a few times, as well as my Grandma and Cailey. There are places where he is very comfortable and happy: home, Grammy and Grandpa's house, Mamma's house, Target. (= There are also a few places where he is very unhappy, including Cotton Patch and Olive Garden. You can probably imagine the fiasco that occurred at both of those places!

Yesterday was Terry's first Father's Day. I got Mason a cute I <3 style="text-align: center;">

I'm sure there are SO many more things I should write about, but I am exhausted, and he is asleep, so I think I'll join him in dreamland! I'll try not to make it 3 more weeks before I post again! Here's the only recent picture I have of my handsome little man on this computer. Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Big Day!

Terry and Mason had a very eventful day today! First, Mason gave Terry a huge, absolutely adorable smile:I cannot stop looking at this picture!!! Here's one that Terry took of Mason yesterday, when he was in a much different mood:
Mason got to spend some time with my grandma and my dad while Terry was in class today, which he always enjoys! When they got home, Terry put Mason in his crib on his belly for a nap, and went to check on him a few minutes later and he was on his back! My baby ROLLED OVER!! We knew he was getting close, but I can't believe he actually did it!!! A little while later, Mason decided to surprise his Daddy by spitting up his entire bottle - what a mess! It makes me sad that I haven't been there for all this fun stuff, but I'm so glad that Mason gets to be with people who love him as much as I do! Two more days of school, then one workday on Saturday (I know, what the heck?) and then I'll be off until August! Almost there!

2 Months!

Just wanted to write up a quick post to update everyone on Mason's 2 month check up. (2 MONTHS! Holy cow!) He is currently weighing 13 lbs 12 ounces (WOW) and is 23.5 inches long. That means he's gained 5 pounds 10 ounces and 3.75 inches! Dr. Riser said everything else looks great, and she was really impressed with his ability to hold his head up and kick his legs while he's on his belly. He's going to be crawling before we know it! He had his first round of vaccinations which was heartbreaking, but he (and I) did better than I expected. One piercing scream, and then just a few whimpers. As soon as I picked him back up, he fell asleep on my shoulder, and has been doing well ever since!

I've been trying to post for 2 weeks - I've been back at work, which has been insanely busy, and when I get home in the evening, I can either post about him, or actually spend time with him. My choice is obvious! I will do my best to post more often though - this is my last week of work until August, so it should be a little easier.

Here are a couple of recent pictures!
