Mason: Ten Months




Mr. Mason Robert is now ten months old and has grown so much! We went to the doctors for a check-up and he has grown! He is 21 lbs 1 oz (66th%), 29.1 inches long (66th%) and has a head size of 17.9" (58th %) He was in the 50th percentile for so long for all areas, so it's fun to watch him grow out of that. Sadly, he is also growing out of 6-12 month clothing and he fits into quite a few 12-18 month clothing items already. So many tears.


Mason is still a gummy, but I swear some teeth with break through here soon! He is gnawing on everything and can eat anything and everything. So, not having any teeth doesn't seem to bother him! He still does his one-armed wounded soldier crawl, but is also pulling himself up onto everything and is standing for longer periods of time.



Mason has two liquid feedings a day, one right when he wakes up and one right before goes to sleep for the night. He has been acting uninterested in his morning liquid feed less and less, so I may start skipping that soon. He'd much rather have some solids. Mason goes down for the night around 7 or 7:30 and sleeps till about 6:45-7 the next morning and is ALWAYS ready for his morning nap by 8:45 and sleeps till Calvin and I wake him up around 10 or 10:30  because we need to leave for our morning activity. He takes a second nap around 1:30 for a good 2 hours.



Mason has started clapping for himself, says "mama" and "dada", signs "more" and "water" and is an absolute water baby. He LOVES going swimming and going down the water slide at our pool. He is also really into music (like his brother) and dances when he hears music. All it takes is a glance in his direction to get an ear to ear grin from him and is the sweetest happiest babe unless he is hungry, then all is lost. We are pretty lucky to have this happy baby! He is also the center of attention wherever he goes, he knows how to swoon allllllll the people.




During Mason's 10th month of life he went camping for the first time, saw his dad off for his first away rotation, got another hair cut, went to Lake Tahoe a few times, celebrated our 6th anniversary with us, and ate one too many otter pops.
