Today was another appointment with Dr. Robinson to administer Mason's 4 month vacinnations (2, 4, 6 and 1 year series of shots). They combine shots in series so we have to keep going back. The first session at 2 months were 3 injection sites and 4 vaccines (Hep B, Polio, Pnumoccocal and Meningocc…

Bee's knees
Mason discovered his knees and toes today!
Roll over red rover!
Mason had his first 'roll-over' from tummy to back on his 4 month 'birth day' but I kinda thought it may have been a fluke because he was on the futon and it wasn't exactly flat.? But when I put him on the floor at my parents house, he definately rolls over! I've noticed he has a bit of trouble roll…
First stage over
The 0-3 months has officially ended as Mason no longer fits into any of his 3 month sized clothes. He's just too long! 25 (and a quarter!) inches long. I actually had to put him in a 6 month sleeper, just so I could get his leggies to fit in it. Obviously the rest of the sleeper was too big, he's…
Mommy is so proud
I am now blogging more as I notice each day all the new things Mason is doing. Lately it's all about grasping, he will pick up toys and try to put them in his mouth.
I bought a bebepod chair off of Craigslist (similar to a Bumbo chair but I liked this one better) and the first day he was pretty…
Growin' boy!
My little man is now 12lbs and 25 inches long (7lb 2 oz / 21 inches at birth)!
Nom nom
Mason figured out where his mouth is and that's where everything goes! Explore away little one!
Mason's Milestones
Is what this blog should be called. I'm finding each day he does something new and Mommy is sooo excited! :)
Every morning when Mason announces he's awake and I go into the room I am greeted with the biggest smiles and coos (so great!). We have a little chat and today Mason showed his grasp re…
Attention preggos!
Do not, I repeat, do not wear any favorite clothes while you are in the later stages of your pregnancy. Seems like a no-brainer but I wore my beloved cotton boxer shorts right to the end and now they are way too big. My big 'ol belly stretched the crap out of them. I seriously didn't lose that mu…
We made it to 3 months!
It was my intention to write this on Mason's 3 month 'birthday' but I got so busy, I forgot!
So my little man turned 3 whole months on May 21st! Time really does fly and I can't keep saying that enough. Here are some of the things Mason has experienced in the last month:
Cloth vs disposable
Before Mason was born, Clayton and I decided that we didn't want to contribute to adding more plastic to our landfills. I researched a few diaper services in the Lower Mainland and chose the best value for our money.
We are now into 3 months of using the cloth diapers and I thought I would share …
Give me a hand!
Today Mason realized that he has hands! Actually Clayton saw it before I did (he said last week).
Cry Baby
Today Mason's tears came in! Just one out of his right eye!
This was taken at our photo shoot on May 2nd!
Here is an article on why newborns do not cry -Click Here
Busy Busy Mommy!
I've once again neglected my little blog but hey I have a good excuse! My Boss is pretty demanding and I don't have a lot of free time after work...well work never really ends being a Mommy does it?
So since last post -
Spring hasn't quite 'sprung' yet!
The subject is in reference to the odd weather we've been having lately. Snow? in March!?
So since I last wrote:
Uncle Ryan's Visit - Clayton's best friend and Mason's namesake (middle name) arrived by plane on March 20th and Mason was very excited to meet his Uncle! Having Ryan stay with us ov…
Getting to know Mason
Sometimes I really do feel like a stork dropped off this beautiful little baby I call my Son. I was present for the birth lol and remember most of it (cept for sleeping after the epidural) but the whole experience is still so amazing that it's hard to believe it's real! When Mason was first born, …
What I've learned in 11 days
I've been a bit busy but have been meaning to write my first experiences of being a new Mum. I can't believe 11 days have already flown by! Since it's been so long, I'm going to do point form instead of trying to recall each day (would be impossible anyhow!)
Leaving the Hospital
Mason says "Hello World!!"
Mason's Birth Story
Thursday
Daily routine was to get up around 11am, do some light housework, eat and then take Hershey the doggy to the park for his run. I sat by a tree as the weather was quite nice and then decided after a while it was time to head home. As I was walking across the street,…
Last day of being pregnant?
I've been a bit slack on upating the 'ol blog as not much has really happened, well until Monday that is.
Monday was another pre-natal appointment and an exciting one at that as the Doctor asked me if I wanted my cervix checked for dilation, of course I said yes! 2cm he told me, which was a bit su…
Work no more
I still haven't gotten over the fact that I don't have to go to work Monday...or Tuesday or the whole week until Feb 2010. How crazy is that? The most I've ever taken off is 3 weeks and that was to go travel. I keep thinking work is going to call me on Monday and ask where I am! So with that sa…
