6 months old!!

My little sweet pea is 6 months old! I can't believe I am even typing that right now. I was laying down with Mason over the weekend and laying there looking at him thinking "Oh my gosh slow down" Time has flown by! I remember when I could hold him all wrapped in one arm and when he would lay on my chest his feet barely made it to my waist! Now he does not like to be all bundled up and when he sleeps on my chest his feet are WAY past my waist! He is growing so fast! He went to the doc yesterday and weighs 17.9 lbs and 27 inches long. Long and skinny just like his daddy! Developmentally I feel like he is doing something new everyday. He loves to be on his tummy when he is playing and has now figured out how to turn circles and ooch to get to his toys that are out of his reach. The look of accomplishment on his face when he gets to them is priceless! And he is trying to get those knees up under him! I am guessing crawling in a couple months for sure. Last night Jonathan was rolling a ball to him and he would lift up his hand to catch it!! Baseball player on our hands? Wide receiver? Daddy can only hope! Mason is also a fan of bouncing. Grandpa started this a while back when he was holding him and then at school his favorite bouncer/exersaucer has bungee type cords on it and he jumps like a crazy man in that thing. We can't stand him up without him wanting to jump. Grandpa counts to 3 with him and he knows on 3 to bend his knees so Grandpa will pick him up in the air. What a genius we have! So about a week or 2 ago he started making the cutest face when he smiles at me. He scrunches up his whole face, eyes and all, and sticks his tongue out to the side. So funny! I have said it before and I am sure I am sure I will many more, but I am so loving watching this kiddo grow! Very bitter sweet. I want to keep him little but it is so cool to watch him learn new things!

Until next time.....
