Our little "Bobby" is 6 months old! We can hardly believe that he's 6 months old already...it's gone by really fast. {He's acquired the nickname "Bobby" from Graham...Graham calls Mason Bobby. We're not sure why, he just did right from the get-go. I'm not big on nicknames, but Bobby is a pretty good pet name.}
But at 6 months old, Mason is...
19.1 lbs! (He's the size Graham was at 9 months.)
27.5 inches tall!
And as cute as they come.
In a word: Mason likes food. He was born hungry. Just minutes after he was born, he was looking for food. It was so funny. He wiggled his teeny little body because he knew food was close by and he was going to get there. Now he's discovered that there's even better food and he's crazy about it. Never for one second did he gag or question baby food or rice cereal, he knew he wanted it long before he even saw it. When we try to feed him with a spoon, he grabs the spoon with excitement and pulls it to his mouth. He isn't very gentle, either. He's pretty strong and it's hard to get the spoon away from him.
Mason loves to be where the action is. If it's quiet or nothings going on, he'll let us know that he's not having fun. He loves to watch Graham and Matt play around, and really wants to get in on the action.
As you can see, this boy loves a bath.
And somehow, he knows that sippy cups are awesome. This one just so happens to be Grahams, not Masons, but Mason likes to drink out of any cup we let him. If we are holding him and try to get a drink of water he freaks out, and grabs for our cups.
We've figured out a way to have dinner in peace. We used to try and put Mason in his swing or the bumbo while we ate, and it was a no-go. He hated it. Mostly because he didn't think it was fair that we were eating and he was not. So I got some of these funny little baby feeders, it's basically a mesh pouch with a big handle. We put banana in it and Mason thinks its the greatest thing. He sucks the banana through the mesh and quietly eats away while we eat our dinner.
All-in-all, Mason's about as cute as they come. He's such a sweetheart, and loves to be held. He gets really excited when you walk up to him, and really upset when you pass him or walk right by. He's awfully fun and we sure love him.
We were in Utah and Idaho for a week and a half, and we filled each day with something fun.
When we were up in Idaho Falls we had Christmas all over again. And once again we were spoiled.
