Extra Extra Read All About It!

Mason is making some major changes in his fifth month. He weighs in at a whopping 19.5 pounds. It cracks me up that he weighs more in just five short months then Addison did at age one. And i love every roll! He is an absolute delight. His dimply smile and legs melt my heart.
I have had to face the hard facts lately. Kevin and I make babies that do not want to babies for long. Addison couldn't wait to be big and Mason has the very same mentality. We visited cousin Oscar in August and at that time he was five months old. Oscar was doing all sorts of stuff. Oscar and Mason are seven weeks apart. I remember thinking what a difference seven weeks made. Oscar was manipulating toys and rolling and just so smart. Well, on vacation Mason started laughing out loud and only sometimes/
Now he laughs so much especially at his big sis. Oh how he LOVES her and vice versa. I'm enjoying it so much for I know that this phase may flee and return a few times through out their lives.
At four months Mason discovered his toes and feet. Oh how he loves his toes. He is always grabbing them and putting them in his mouth. Yummy, nothing like toe jam :) ! Be began rolling at four months not consistently just sometimes .
At five months he is doing all of the above with improvement and reaching for everything he can get his hands on, plates, cups, toys you name he is reaching for it. I can tell he is so ready for food but the Doctor wants him to wait. I feel so mean when he just watches us eat. It breaks my heart. I always wanna give him a little taste or a lick but I know it isn't good for him.
He is already trying to sit up. Of course I have to place him in the sitting position and he wobbles but he is seriously trying to get it mastered. I used to leave him on the bed while I fixed my hair or showered, not any more. So my next safe place was in the car seat. Yesterday, I caught Houdini trying to escape. He turns on his side and grabs the sun visor and thrust his body up. So if I'm not holding him or he is not in his bed he is on the floor. I wouldn't put anything past this kid. He already wants to do what Addison is doing and gets his feelings hurt that he can't. I'm not ready for my baby to get big and do all this stuff. I'm trying to enjoy each stage and savor the moments. I am however, very proud of him. I love my sweet boy. I feel so blessed to have my two healthy, sweet, wonderful babies.
