sitting up ?!?!?

When Danny and I were taking pictures of Mason for his 4 month post we decided to see if he would sit up... a few times he toppled over the one side then the other (he thought it was pretty funny) then all the sudden he was staying all by himself. However, he was leaning really far forward so I don't know if it counts as truly sitting up but it was pretty cute, and he was proud of himself!

Look at me I am so cute!
big smile


umm dad... what are you making me do???


now all the sudden Ralph wants to play with Mason.... hahaha, I think they will be good friends!

4 months (a few days late)


You turned 4 months old on February 19, here are a few things that you did this month:

*You are a happy happy baby, you laugh and smile all the time

*You have discovered your toys, you love to hold and shake them, and of course bring them to your mouth! It is really funny to watch you suck on the ball with all the holes (see video below) and you suck on the beak of your penguin stuffed animal :)

* You have a funny shaped head because you always look to the right when you sleep, so your head is flat on that side. It looks especially lovely with the bald spot in hair that has rubbed off... not to worry though because you are still the cutest baby ever!!!!!!!

* Your red hair is growing in more and more everyday

* You have officially doubled your weight... you are almost 18 lbs and almost 27 inches long!

* When I come to get you in the morning from your crib, most days you have rotated a full 90 degrees from all your wiggling through the night

* You like to stand on mom and dad's lap then sit, then stand... over and over, and you laugh the whole time. You also like it when we lift you over our heads (but it can be dangerous for us with all the drool dripping your mouth)

* Speaking of drool... you do it alot! I mean a lot, with an added bonus of spit bubbles. You also like to chew on your hands, so that adds to the mess

* You will rarely take a pacifier anymore, you prefer to suck on a finger, thumb or fist... it is different every time

* You are so big and your personality is showing more and more everyday... we love you sooooooo much!

Playing with Toys





This last week or so Mason has really gotten into his toys... he will stare at them, grab them and bring them to his mouth. It is funny trying to watch him suck on this ball with all the holes. Oh he is just so cute :)

Tummy Time




Tummy time doesn't happen very much because Mason usually screams the whole time, but surprisingly he was happy long enough to get a good video. He has never lifted his head so high and look around so much on his tummy, how exciting :)
