Love of a Feather: 4 Month Post!

I cant believe it has been 4 months already. It seems like just yesterday I was wobbling around with swollen feet, but here he is...growing way too fast.

We recently took Mason in for his 4 month check up where he weighed in at 16lbs 7oz and has grown to be 27" long (the Dr. let us know that is the average height of a 7 month old, WHOA!)

It's amazing to watch Mason grow and develop. He is so happy, always smiling and loves to talk to the faces he recognizes the most. I love seeing Mason's face light up when Michael comes home from work, and he spends a good 20 min telling him all about our day! As soon as Mason realized he had hands, they were in his mouth, and they stayed there until he learned that different objects have different textures and those are fun to put in his mouth too! Next was his feet, he has spent the last couple weeks grabbing them, bending into a ball and rolling back and forth. Yesterday and today he has spent a good portion of the days rolling over to his tummy and trying to scoot, crawling must be right around the corner! As for sleep, he has always been a natural at it! He was sleeping a good solid 6 hour block by the time he was 2 months old and it's only gotten longer from there! One night he slept a whole 12 hours :-D. An average night is about 10 hours (I don't know how normal that is for this age, but I'll take it!) Besides watching his favorite show (The Hive) while I shower and get myself ready for the day Mason loves books and being read to. His favorites right now are "Are You My Mother?" and "Mr. Brown Can Moo. Can You?" Like I said, it has been truly amazing watching him grow and develop, his personality is really starting to shine through and I can already tell he is going to be a fun kid, just like his Mommy ;-).

Since I hadn't started my blog back up again until after his other Monthly Birthdays, I leave you with the pictures. It is crazy to look back at these pictures and see how much he really has changed. Seeing him everyday I don't notice the subtle changes but these pictures show changes just from one month to another.
