3 months old today....

I don't think I will ever get a grasp on how fast time goes and how fast they grow up...Mason is already 3 months old. It seems like it was just yesterday that he was born. 

Anyway, here is the update on the boy:

*He is rolling over both ways: stomach to back and back to stomach.
*He loves to suck on his hands, and sometimes he will get his thumb in there just right to suck on. 
*He is sooo smiley and such a happy baby, most of the time, he still gets a little cranky in the evenings.
*Loves to jump in the jumperoo, there is nothing cuter than watching those chunky little legs jumping.
*Loves to take showers and baths.

*Is wearing 6-9 month clothes already.
*He is 90th percentile for his weight and 50th for his height, sooo he's short and chunky :)
* Loves his big brother Jake, he will follow him (with his eyes) all over the room, and when he hears his voice he starts to look for him and if he can't see him he starts to get frustrated.



Mason turned himself in his Bumbo so that he could watch Jake, he is obsessed with Jake.  I can't blame him he is very entertaining.
 *He sleeps soooo good at night, he usually goes to bed sometime between 8:30 and 9:30 (depending on when I get home from work) and then he doesn't wake up until around 7 am to eat and then he goes back to sleep until about 8:30-9:30. LOVE IT!!!! Now I know this all could change, but I am enjoying it while it lasts. :)
*Goes by many nicknames, most of them involve something about his chunkiness i.e. chunk-a-licious (thank you Fergie, we even have changed the words to the song and we sing it to him), sir chunky, chunksters, chunko, cheeks,etc.  I just hope it doesn't stick with him all the way till he is a teenager like it did for Chunk from The Goonies.
*He still sleeps better when he is swaddled with one arm out.

And I think that about sums it up, we haven't weighed or measure him lately, but let's face it the reason why they do that is to make sure babies are growing properly and well he does not have a problem there :)

Halloween 2011...

We had a great HALLOWEEN:

Three little pumpkins





Mason HATED his costume, and this is about as long as I made him wear it for.

Trying to get a picture of him not screaming in his costume.


Jacob was a Jedi again this year, maybe you remember last year when I bought this costume and bought it two sizes too big in the hopes that he could wear it more than one year, I think we still have a good 2-3 years on this costume, but I will let him mix it up next year.  He was very proud of his red lightsaber cause he did chores to earn money to pay for it himself.




Jacob with our neighbor Tyson, they are such good friends and they love playing with each other, we have so much fun with their family and it's so convenient that they live right next door.  We went trick-or-treating with them and it was fun going with another family, made even more fun for Brad and I.
 

Mason trick-or-treating....he slept most of the time..party pooper :)
