Nine Months

Our dear Mason is nine months already.  I can't believe it has gone this fast.  He is getting SO big.  This month I feel like he grew and grew and grew! 

At his 9 month check up he is in the 30th percentile of weight and in the 65th percentile for length and head circumference.  He had a great check up, besides his iron levels being a bit low.  He now takes vitamins, so we will see if that helps.  We are also supposed to start giving him some table food, so that should be fun! 
This month has been fun to say the least.  He crawls around the house and gets into everything!  We seriously cannot take our eyes off of him, not even for one second!!  The other day he took off the white cap off of the door stopper, and almost gave me a heart attack!  It seems no matter hard I try, he always finds something that he shouldn't!  His favorite thing to do is to stand up by the back door and beat on the window until Rover comes and barks at him.  Man, he LOVES that dog!
Mason is clapping, waving "bye bye" and "hi" (sometimes), dancing, and he is pulling up on everything and standing!  We don't get to sit and relax, not even for one minute, because we are chasing him around like crazy, but I wouldn't change it for anything.  Our living room is open, so we really can't block him off from going to the kitchen, so we are always busy to say the least. 
His daycare was closed for spring break, so he went and spent 3 nights at his Mimi and Popo's house.  This was rough.....on me....not him!  I cried the whole day we dropped him off.  I thought he was not going to do well, but he surprised me.  He slept through the night and ate like a champ, and just watched his cousin most of the day.  He was such a big boy and I am so proud of him.  I thought when we picked him up on Wednesday he was going to be excited though...not so much.  He was just a big crab!  I think this was was due to him being outside for 5 hours in a row, so he was just super super tired.  After we took him home and he got a lot of sleep, he was back to his happy self by Thursday afternoon.  I took off Thursday and Friday, so we got to spend some quality time together.  We played, took Rovie on walks, and we napped together.  Speaking of napping, it sure would be nice to take one right now...ugh!  And now that I am back at work, I really really miss him today, but I know he is having fun at daycare playing with his friends and teachers.  I am still counting down the minutes though until I get to pick him up....
I'll post some more pictures later!  Happy nine months tootie fruitie!
