Seriously, time has flown!
Mason had his 6 month doctor's appointment on Friday and took his shots like a champ... except for 5 hours later when he suddenly reacted to them. We were sitting in Red Robin when he spontaneously went from smiling to wailing - out of the blue -and continued to do so for 50 minutes. He got a quick 102.5 temperature and wouldn't be consoled by anything. Yikes! Luckily he was back to himself within 24 hours, but it was not a fun time, poor guy! I am so grateful for my regular happy, smiling babe. Anyone else had their baby react to one set of shots but not another?
Here are his stats: 14 lbs 12 oz & 27 1/2 inches. Still our little, long peanut! I am pretty sure he lost a little weight this past week since getting his very first cold (hes hardly been eating anything)...we're talking like 1/2-3/4 of a lb. haha But hey, every 1/2 lb counts right now, right? As of tonight he is starting to eat more again (though we're still at 1/2 the amount of food he was eating) - and he is LOVING butternut squash.
As far as his recent happenings... he is sitting up really well and can even get to sitting on his own. He scoots/creeps/lunges anywhere he wants to go and gets there - no more sitting him on a blanket and expecting him to still be there if I leave the room for a sec! He is 2 seconds away from full-on crawling - heaven help me! He is an active little dude and will definitely give me a run for my money. He has had sweet potato and squash so far and will be getting some carrot this week... yum yum. We're at the stage where he loves everything that isn't an actual 'toy' -- like, shoes, magazines, any paper, furniture, etc. He has also started getting sooooo excited whenever he sees his Daddy! Today when Matt came home from meetings after church Mason's face lit up and he started squealing in delight! I love it!
If there is paper to be crumpled, he will find it... glad the Doc didn't mind :)
And here is a short video of some of his "moves" -
this is from a little over a week ago, so his skills are evloving, but you get the idea!

I can't believe how much he has grown and how big and smart he is! I am always impressed when I read your blog because he always seems to be ahead of the game when it comes to development. He's so awesome, which means you guys must me awesome parents! I can't wait to see you and that little guy again. Oh, also, the baby food stuff! WOW! Such a great idea!! I love it. Maybe this is a dumb question, could I do the same thing with a Magic Bullet? Or does it have to be a food processor?
Tell me about it, Sister! Caleb was full on hands and knees crawling at 6 1/2 months! It's so darling, but man, has he ALWAYS been on the move! Glad you have a happy little man!
What a cutie! He is growing up so fast! Tanner and Lacey both had an episode where they reacted to their shots...I think it was there 2 month shots. They did exactly what Mason did. Cried and screamed and nothing comforted them. I think it was because I let the tylenol wear off but once I got some more in them and gave it time to work it did. I am glad he is starting to feel better and is loving those veggies...You are such a good mom!
Jordyn it was so nice seeing you yesterday! I wish we could of talked longer. We do need to get together. And I love your little boy so much. He is just the happiest baby in the world I loved it!!
