7 months

Mason boy is 32 weeks/ 7 months! He is set on being mobile so he can get to the Christmas tree. Until then, he cruises the house in his walker, a one man wrecking crew. I smile to myself as I wipe his tiny hand prints off of things and repack the stack of books he's tossed to the floor, knowing all the while that things will get very busy once he can crawl/walk. He has been saying " dada" for a while now but he's recently started saying " mama", too. This morning he has been following me in his walker saying " mama mama mmmmmama" .

He made his first trip to the ER this past weekend . He had a fever he couldn't kick so this overly anxious mama wanted to be sure there wasn't something more than just a persistent virus hanging around. It wasn't a pleasant trip ( he had to be cathed for a urine specimen) but he smiled at the nurses and doctor and played with his sister while we waited. Today he is fever free and we are all very happy about that. 

He doesn't have another well child exam until 9 months but we know from our trip to Children's ER that he is just under 18 pounds and his 12 month jammies are looking pretty tight these days.Still not a big fan of the bottle, he will eat like it's going out of style. He ate to his hearts content at Thanksgiving!
