Mason continues to be just the sweetest little laid back dude! He just lounges around and plays and sticks everything in his mouth! He can sit and such--but he still prefers to just lounge back on his little pillow (which used to be my nursing pillow for them--2 uses!!). He will get really hyper sometimes though and just thrash around like a fish out of water--it is adorable! Speaking of his mouth--Mason has a tooth coming in!! You can see it on the bottom making it's way in--poor guy! He tries to stay happy though!
Mason has unfortunately had a few set backs this month again....boo. His reflux that we thought was disappearing, has come back in full force suddenly. It is tremendously frustrating--and we are pretty much at our wits end. However, there is really nothing we can do...again, he just has to grow out of it. Apparently around the 1 year mark is when it gets significantly better.
In addition-- Mason's started tilting his head really bad again to the side--so I decided to ask the doctor about it since it has happened a few times now. I took him in, and now we have to get him a MRI this next Wednesday to make sure that he doesn't have a Brain Tumor (which is Worst case scenario obviously...but the doc doesn't think he does), and also to make sure nothing is structurally wrong with his spine. The other bad part to this is that he has to be put under anesthesia. It goes without saying I guess that we are NOT looking forward to this--and are a bit nervous for sure......my poor baby---I just feel so bad for him lately. It make it even more heartbreaking b/c he tries to be such a happy little guy--and is such a sweetheart! urgh!!
Both boys really LOVE the Papasan chair outside, love being outside in general, like to scoot around in their Walkers (well...Mason just rolls backwards when he gets really hyper--but Noah goes all over the place!), the johnny jumper, and just rolling around with each other on the floor! They are really noticing each other a lot now--and they will look at each other and laugh, or grab the other ones' face, and they will imitate each others noises--it is super cute to say the least. It is true waht people always said about toys too....they really love anything ADULT-- cell phones, keys, kitchen utensils, etc.! They also really seem to like the baby oil bottle--they shake it really hard and think it is funny! Mason thinks that the Wind is funny--it is pretty cute. Mason has also really learned very good dexterity skills lately--and can pick up little pieces of food with his 2 little fingers! Anything that has to do with food--Mason will excel at! When I took him to the doctor last week--he weighed almost 20 lbs! He is perfect for weight! Noah is still smaller-but he is just so active that I think he has a higher metabolism too.
On top of them both teething, we have had some very tired days lately. Since our vacation to Phoenix last month--the boys have returned to some bad sleep habits...and we have let it go on and it has just kind of had a snowball effect. Last night they woke every 2 hours again....
We have gotten them back in the habit that when they wake up and cry at night, I will feed them to get them to go back to sleep-- and this is NOT good!! Like I said, it has kind of snowballed, and we are reverting back to Newborn days it feels like! We are working on this and trying to let them just cry a bit again, and get back to them sleeping through the night like they used to--but it is a tough habit to break. Jenae is tired.
We had a BBQ for Anthony's Bday on the 26th--so that was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came!
The boys have also enjoyed their first Hike! We went on Father's Day! It was short--but really fun! They looked so darned cute int heir little backpacks!
They also both really like getting in the little swimming pool I bought for them--although I have to add warm water to it for Mason b/c he is such a wuss! ;) Another thing that we do a lot of pass time and have a change of scenery is to play on mom and dads bed. We also try to get them out on a walk or something in the late afternoons now that they have dropped their 3rd nap--they need a little extra entertainment in the afternoons or they get fussy!!!
The boys will be 9 months old on July 17th--can you believe it?! Enjoy the pics, and I'm sure that next month we will have some crawling news to report!
(I forgot to take off my Watermark on some of the pics when I uploaded them--sorry! ;)
Noah likes to hold onto the walker sides like he is driving a car!
Uncle Brandon!
Noah likes to drink out of anything Adult....none of this sippy cup business!!
Mason loves to put the mirror on his face and then he gets really hyper!
Mason LOVES the guitar! Ever since he was tiny--he has always responded to it! (with Uncle Jeremiah!)
Such big boys now...they sit in their crib and play!
They are absolute Teething machines right now. Noah really loves this little Mesh bag--I put frozen fruit in it and it really helps him. Mason doesn't like the cold...so he doesn't really like it.
