Popsicle Kid!

Popsicle time! Now that it is getting a bit warmer, Mason can enjoy his favorite treat!

Mason turned 18 months old last week. He had his Dr. Checkup and he received a healthy report! He weighed in at 23.5 pounds and was 32.5 inches long. He has been saying new words almost every day. He now asks “what is that?” when he is unsure of what an object is. He hates making a mess with his food! He always wants a napkin and if there are crumbs on his lap he starts yelling “mess, mess”. He had a big fall the other day that scared me. He was trying to go down the steps of our porch (which he does very well) and our dog Clemens knocked him from behind. This sent Mason flying face first into the dirt and rocks. He ended up with some scrapes and bruises on his face but he is healing well. He is a tough guy!
I am starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. This baby is really active at night making it hard to sleep. I only have nine weeks to go though! We are starting to get the house ready for the new arrival. We are also working on getting Mason as ready as we can. He has been playing with my old Cabbage Patch doll. I taught him that we kiss and hug babies. Now every night before bed he wants to kiss the doll! We have started a new playgroup as well. There are three infants that he seems intrigued by. The playgroup is also good for another reason… there are mostly girls in the group! Mason hardly ever gets to play with girls. He was fascinated watching them play dress up! He is very shy though and only started interacting when he discovered the trains.
