Mason turned one over a week ago, and I am now just getting around to doing his update. He had his doctors appointment, and we were quite surprised by his stats: He weighed in at 23 lbs (74%) and is standing 29.5" tall (31%).
Over the past month Mason has grown up so much! He is completely done nursing and just takes one bottle a day, right before bed. He naps twice a day, at 9 and 1:30. His morning nap is usually 90 minutes and his afternoon nap is around 75 minutes. I've had him just take one middle of the nap day twice, and he slept for 3 hours, so I'd be ok transitioning him to one nap anytime now :)
Big news! Our one-toothed wonder now has FOUR teeth. He was a great teether- the teeth just popped out of no-where. Mason is very happy and go-with-the-flow kid until it involves food. He also figured out how to throw tantrums, which isn't my favorite development thus far. He likes to throw food or his cup off his high chair if he gets super mad. Or if he is on the floor he will rock back and forth shaking his head. It's actually kind of entertaining. Luckily he gets over it super fast.
Mason loves his food: his favorites being meat and fruit (Paleo baby? Maybe it's because I did Whole30 when I was pregnant with him haha). If we have dinner (say a deconstructed salad) he will eat the fruit, meat, veggies and then the grains verrrryyyy last.
He has zero interest in walking. He will walk along furniture, he loves to stand up and play with his toys and sometimes he will walk with a walker. If we ever stand him up and try to get him to walk to a person or object he collapses right a way and just crawls on over.
His vocabulary is still just "mama" and "dada" sometimes we will get him to mimic noises. He loves to make an "ooo" noise and face when he gets excited or drops something. It's probably my favorite thing he does. He loves to give kisses and hugs and to do things on his own time frame.
During is twelfth month of life he went to San Diego for the first (two) times, went to SeaWorld, San Diego zoo and San Diego Safari Park. He had his first Halloween and experienced his first Fall with plenty of Fall Festivals and Halloween Parties. He cheered on his parents and friends during the St. George Marathon and made us fall more and more in love with him. We've loved watching you grow Mason Robert! You were the perfect addition to our family.
