Mason's 6 Months Old

And he's everywhere! I'm telling you this boy knows what he wants and has the energy and determination to get it! He's been rolling and turning in circles for a quite while now. He gets where he wants to go by doing a combination of the two until he reaches his destination. He's sitting up on his own now, but will occasionally throw himself backwards so still needs pillows behind him. He loves being in the jumparoo, bouncing in place. Recently, Mason has started to get up on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth several times and then lunge forward...not quite a crawl, but it is forward motion. I think we'll be seeing some crawling in the very near future, then all hell is going to break loose around here.
Mason really is a very good boy though. He's still as sweet as can be, gives lots of smiles and giggles, but one thing he is NOT is content being a passive observer. He makes sure everyone in the room knows he's there and what he wants to do. I'm telling you sometimes when we hold him, it's like he turns into an octopus; arms and legs all going at the same time and he'll throw all his weight towards the direction he wants to go...he's wild! I think we are lucky he hasn't been dropped. I think this little guy is going to give us a run for our money, but we are totally up for it!
During his check-up he weighed in at 18lbs 7ozs (67th percentile) and was 28 inches long (91st percentile). He is now eating a variety of pureed fruits and vegetables three times a day in addition to the breastmilk he gets (about 30 ozs or so). He continues to chew just about everything and it seems as thought he may have his top front teeth coming in soon.
He is a complete delight and we love watching him react to Hunter. Whenever Hunter enters a room, Mason automatically looks his way and starts grinning. When Hunter starts running around like a maniac, it spurs Mason to squeal and giggle along. They are a hoot! Can't get enough of our little sweethearts!
