Today Mason is 10 months old. I can't believe that just 10 short months ago we were just meeting this little guy for the first time, now I can't imagine life without our happy little Mason. Here is a little update of Mason at 10 months old.
Teeth--Mason now has 6 teeth 2 on the top and 4 on the bottom. This past month Mason got his first toothbrush and we now brush Mason's 6 teeth each morning and night.
Sleeping--A miracle happened this last month and Mason is finally sleeping through the night, most of the time. I had literally tried everything including: bathing him at night, keeping him on a schedule, feeding him extra at night, playing music in his room at night, a nightlight, changing table pad to keep him from rolling around in his crib at night, reading him a bed time story, not letting him nap as long during the day, and the list could go on and on. We have no idea what it was that finally got our little guy sleeping through the night, so he has quite the night time ritual--but hey we'll do anything to get this guy to sleep!!
Talking--We don't understand a lot this little guy says, besides dada and mama. Although, we don't understand a word he is saying this guy sure can strike up a conversation with anyone or anything.
Eating--Mason is venturing into tasting a few table foods. Besides his baby food, which he seems to love, we have now started giving him a few table foods. Mason has tried: spaghetti--not a fan, cheese--loved it, bread--couldn't get enough of it, and jello--loved it.
Movement--Mason has still not learned how to crawl, but I'm guessing it will be any day now. When sitting up he can go to the mermaid position, but that's about it. I guess his chunky little thighs just can't hold up his body weight yet. He still rolls around and scoots (only backwards) to get around. Who needs crawling when you can just roll:).
Other--Mason's personality just lights up the room. He is seriously the happiest baby I have ever seen. It doesn't take much to get this little guy laughing so hard he can't stop. We've noticed he is very ticklish, not matter where he is tickled he always laughs. Mason is happiest when someone is playing with him or taking to him. He also loves it when daddy comes home from work--he gets this huge smile on his face and wiggles his arms and legs. He'll want dad to hold him for 10 seconds then it's back to mom.
Hair--Mason, according to Casey's mom, has Casey's hair. No matter what we try to do with it, it ends up poofy by the end of the day. His hair is also RED, who would of thought a blond and a brunette could make a red head.
We are so incredibly in love and totally smitten by this little man of ours. Happy 10 month birthday Mason!!
P.S. We're celebrating Mason's 10 month birthday by taking him to the pool with some cousins:)
I can't believe this little guy is 10 months!! It seriously seems like yesterday I was visiting you at the hospital after my shift!
