Mason Update

My little boy is 19 months!

He is growing up so fast.  He understands the things we tell him and he will listen to us most of the time.  He loves playing with his basketball hoop still, he even tries to dribble where he hits the ball on the ground a couple times while holding the ball.

 One of his favorite things to do is run from down the hall and dunk the ball, this is something Christopher did and now Mason does constantly.

He loves to swing things.  He loves to swing his bats, the cardboard insert from a rug we bought, and sticks.  He is always swinging and hitting the balls on the ground while saying "boom".  He is getting pretty good at hitting things off of his tee, he will actually hit the ball and not just the tee when he swings.

 When we go to the park he finds a stick and starts swinging away.  He just started having Christopher throw the ball to him and tries to hit it, now we just have to get his timing down.

At his doctor's appointment he weighted 23.6 lbs which was 39%, his height was 32 inches and 36%, and his head was 19.7 inches and 98%.  At least his weight percentile has gone up since his last visit, he's proportional height and weight he just has a bigger head.

Some of Mason's favorite things are:

-going to the park
-getting to wear his shoes
-watching Phineas and Ferb
-swinging things
-eating peaches
-playing video games with Dad
-running
-playing in nursery
-being up on Mom and Dad's bed
-helping me unload the silverware from the dishwasher
-dancing to music

He still doesn't say much but he knows how to communicate with us enough that he gets what he wants, so we'll see if he ever starts talking.  He signs more, please, and done; and he says "duh" for done, and "ruh" for dog. And if anyone ever drops anything or he needs help he will say  "uh oh".

At church a few weeks ago it was silent in sacrament meeting and there was feedback on the microphone, Mason then said "uh oh" pretty loud and we heard a few chuckles and saw some people smile. It was pretty funny hearing him talk so loud when it was so quiet.

He is a very happy boy who loves to be outside and play.  He is so much fun and is growing up way too fast! We love him.
