The Stewarts: Nine months in, nine months out!

Is that insane to anyone else? Time is going by too fast.

It's been another big month for Mason Man. He started crawling a few weeks ago and has been on the move since then. He will not sit still! And he's into everything... Laundry, bookshelves, etc. Last week he started pulling himself up to stand against the couch and his crib and the entertainment center. It makes me SUPER nervous, but I know he needs to learn, so I look away and Riley makes sure he doesn't fall.

Mase is big in to clapping and waving these days. He waves every time we leave or enter a room! It's the best. He is also very proud of himself. Every time he gets a Cheerio or puff into his mouth, he smiles and claps. He's pretty much a genius.

We had a well-child visit with our new pediatrician this month as well. I was pretty impressed with the clinic. Everyone was super nice and they give the kids a new book at every visit! How cool is that? Mase loves reading so we were stoked! He did great with his shots too. Shot day is the worst. I hate it! This was the first appointment Riley was able to come to since Masons two month visit, so it was really nice to have some backup with our squirmy boy! The first thing the doctor said when she walked in and saw our nakey boy is "Well, he's certainly not malnourished!" Are you sure, Lady? His measurements came in as follows:

Head: 91 percentile (Thank you, Riley!)

Weight: 90 percentile, 23 pounds 8 oz

Height: 54 percentile (My bad!)

We just started laughing. He's such a chubby little guy, our little butterball!

At nine months Mason doesn't like:

Baby food. He's over it.

Loud noises

Footie jammies

Sitting still

But he loves:

-Straws

-Singing "Do Your Ears Hang Low" and "Home on the Range" with Daddy, he goes right to sleep
