4 months!

Mason turned four months on Thursday and went to the doctor on Friday for his checkup. The doctor said he looks great! We are weighing in at a hefty 13 lbs 1 oz and 25 inches long (although, when I took him in to the doctor a few weeks ago, they said he was 25.5 inches... shrinking? Matt has decided he is going to measure Mason himself. ha). He handled his shots like a champ - cried for less than a minute! Here is a picture of he and Dad waiting for the doctor to come (chomping on his toes) --




When we told our doc he is rolling both directions she was surprised -- she said she doesn't ask about rolling until the 6 month appointment. I know it is silly, particularly since it pretty much has nothing to do with anything we did, but it still makes you feel proud :) Anyhoo, in our spare time we're teaching him such things as how to use rolling to get toys and... mancala. Seems age appropriate, right?



Happy March everyone!

Seriously? Not until the 6 month appointment? Caleb wasn't rolling by 4 months, but he was full-on, hands and knees crawling by 6 1/2! Looks like Mason will give him a run for his money! Invest in cabinet locks!! :)

I am guessing she doesn't ask about it until that appt because she doesnt consider it an issue unless they havent done it by then? needless to say... I am afraid of what lies ahead! but hey, no turning back now :-D
