Mason: Month 11 {Update} + {Photos}

Our Sweet Boy will be ONE next Month!! 

Weight: Uncertain; I am guessing 25 pounds

Height: No idea;

Nicknames: Mase, Mase Mase, Bud, Buddy, BuhBuhs

Eating (Milk): Mason is still getting three - 9 ounce bottles at 7a, 11a, 6:45p. He has varied some this month with drinking between 7-9 for each bottle. We will start whole milk trials by mid-October.

Eating (Solids): Our little one is still such a good eater. This month, Mason ate lots of popsicles. He tried Chick-Fil-A for the first time, soft pretzels and other fun foods. Mason got his first taste of ICEE and loved it! Also, Mason started eating grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

Sleeping: Night time sleep schedule is the same but we have cut 30-45 minutes from the morning nap so he is sleeping 9:00-10:15 or 10:30 and then from 1-3 in the afternoon. We cut the morning nap down a bit because it was affecting his afternoon nap which is the most important one to us. So now, Mason is getting a better afternoon nap and that works well for us.

Diapers: We use disposable diapers (LUVS size 6) in the nighttime and still love our Sunbaby cloth diapers during the day.

Clothes: This month, Mason is wearing some 18 month clothes with several 24 month and 2T clothes. 18 month footed PJ's are too small but 24 month are too big. Weird.
Little guy even wore a 3T Bailey Boys outfit!!

Social: Mason is now waving "hey" and "bye". He also loves to talk to people driving by while we are in the car.



Mason is blowing kisses as well!

 

New/fun things from this month: 
Matt and Mason are playing "Don't Wake Daddy" now and it is so cute!

Mason is now signing "more" pretty consistently, "finished" most of the time with model and is working on "please" and "thank you"

Mason has learned how to close a few of the doors in the house. Pretty proud of it too!

Said "Dada" on 9/19 while looking at Matt; said "Mama" while looking at me on 9/20 and then said "Hey" and "Bye" on 9/20 while waving!!



By the 23rd, Mason was signing "more"  and "Finished" independently for food and ending meal time.

We all took a trip to the mountains to celebrate Matt's mom's 50th birthday. It was Mason's first night in a cabin.

Mason had his first experience with stairs and he quickly demonstrated his ability to crawl up them without problem!

Likes:  Bubbles
Bath
"Helping" to clean
Long sleeves
Light switches
Blowing Kisses

Dislikes: At times, having his diaper changed. I more think this has to do with having to lay down when he wants to be moving!

 

Funnies: Mason scared me this month. I thought he had gone further into the kitchen from the living room and I followed behind him. He was standing right behind the wall dividing the living room and dining room. I looked down and saw him unexpectedly and I said "ah" and he laughed so hard!!

Mommy: Mason pulled my face to his and gave me a big kiss on 9/22.

Daddy: 
Daddy and Mason have been practicing their "ugga muggas" or as I call them eskimo kisses. Mason will get real still when you say "ugga mugga" and let you rub your nose with his and then he gives you a big kiss!
