Adventures in Mommyland: We've been busy playing...

While reading my sister's blog today I realized that it's been FOREVER since I posted on mine so I should catch it up a bit. Last time I posted I believe Mason was 8 weeks. He's going to be 5 months old on Friday and is just over 21 weeks old. He's grown so much. At his last appointment my little angel was 24 3/4" long and 14 lbs 5 oz. He's learned how to laugh and thinks his feet and my hands are hilarious. He has a favorite Cookie Monster toy and a blankie from Aunt Becky that he goes nuts for. He's still on just bottles/formula but is getting more and more curious about the spoon and watches me like a hawk when I eat. He thinks his Grandparents are the bees knees and is super close to rolling over. He gets to his side and gets stuck on his arm; he'll figure it out and then I'll be in trouble. He's borrowed Avi's doorway bouncer and goes absolutely crazy bouncing in it. Before work every morning I make my oatmeal and sit on the floor by the bouncer while I eat and he bounces. It's our special time and I power through my whole day on those 15 minutes of giggle and oatmeal. He's in 6 months clothes for most brands and size 1 shoes. He wears his Converse from Aunt Becky the most because, come on, they're super cool. He had his first hair cut the week before Christmas and boy oh boy did he look handsome. Our first Christmas together was wonderful. We were super spoiled with lots of family time and even got to play with Aunt Katie, Uncle Adam and cousin Avi since they came home to visit. Mason got some really cool toys that he loves to look at and will eventually play with but his motor skills just aren't quite there yet. He's more in the "grab it and put it in my mouth" phase...and believe me, anything is fair game.

As for me, I'm the same. Work is the same, still loving our apartment, hanging out with Mr. Mason every chance I get and onward we go. We did switch to a new babysitter. Not because Hillary wasn't amazing but some changes came down the line in her life and so now we have Sara. The coolest thing about Sara? She comes to the apartment every day to watch Mason so I don't have to get him together in the morning and take him out in the cold. IF he's still sleeping I can leave him be instead of wake him up to take him to the sitters and that is AWESOME. We adore Hillary and will play with her often but the change, especially with how cold it is these days, hasn't been terrible.

Anywho, here's some current pictures of my little monster. Love you all. xoxo.
