Another Month Older

Mason is now 7 months old.  Here's an update on what's new with him.  He now goes up to his knees every time he is on the floor and will rock back and forth. He is more independent while on the floor since he can move around more. He can roll both ways, finally, and he can rotate himself in a full circle.  

He also has started to make consonants sounds other than "gah".  I was so happy to hear one morning some "mamamama"s.  Then to Christopher's excitement the very next morning he started saying some "dadadada"s.  He is very talkative and has a funny routine that he follows when he talks a lot. Before he starts letting sounds out, his mouth will be open and go up and down a few times before he starts saying things.  

Some of his favorite things to play with are his feet and especially his socks that only stay on if he is wearing shoes. He also loves to play with the hammer from his tool set, books that he will mainly chew on and Gumby.  We got some toys that were Christopher's when he was little, one of which was Gumby which he loves but we have to watch Mason and make sure that he doesn't shove Gumby's arms too far into his mouth and gag himself.   

Mason will also take any chance he gets to grab onto my hair, he doesn't pull it he just likes to feel it. He giggles and breathes excitedly when I tickle his face with my hair, he thinks it's hilarious.  One of my favorite things he does right now is how he hold his hands while he is on his tummy, he always looks like he is posing.

He also likes to kick his right foot up and down a lot. He does it when he's in the bath and loves to feel the water splash around.  He also does it when he's lying on the floor and looks awesome with his hands folded and his right foot kicking up and down.

While out on a shopping trip we stopped by Crazy 8's and found some really cute pj's on sale.  They are his first two piece jammies and they make him look so much older.  He was so cute and happy kicking his legs, he probably felt like such a big boy.

He's growing up so fast.  This Sunday someone commented on how he is so much bigger already and how he looks like me, she even said he had my eyes.  I thought that was funny considering he has blue like his dad, long eyelashes like his dad, and I don't know if it's just me but this is definitely a Christopher face.

I'm sure part of me is in there somewhere, but I'm glad he looks like Christopher, and with a face like that how could I ever complain!
