- he got two teeth last week. the first was the left bottom on tuesday (4/20) and the second was the right bottom on saturday (4/24), so now he has all four on the bottom and all four on the top.
- and speaking of teeth... mason is a biter! it is hard to tell when he comes at you with his mouth open if it is for a kiss or a firm bite. madelyn and i have both had bruises from his biting. he doesn't do it to be mean. i think that most of it is just because he is trying to climb up on you, but it can still hurt. we are working on it. let's just say that i think there is a good chance his first sentence will be "no biting!"
- tonight he wore 2t jammies to bed
- mason has gotten pretty good at waving "hi" and really enjoys that he can. the picture is his extreme reaching wave and i just liked it best.- mason can crawl up a flight of stairs so we have to be careful to close the door to the stairs when we are down in the office.
- it sounds like he says "hi, dad" when he sees matt and that is the only time he says it so i am pretty sure that is what he is indeed saying.
- mason really loves books. more that even madelyn did. he doesn't always love to have them read to him, but he loves to get them down, sit, and turn the pages over and over. madelyn would just chew them up. i can actually let mason look at books in the car because he doesn't put them in his mouth.
- there is a first word book that madelyn always liked that has become one of mason's favorites too. the funny part is that she loved the "boy" on the boy/girl pages and mason loves the "girl". it even sounds like he says, "girl", almost clearly, when he sees her picture in the book.
- he also has distinct sounds for indicating "more" ("mo-mo-mo"), "drink" (he makes a motorboat noise - it always means that he is thirsty), and "dog" (sort of a cross between "oo-oo-oo" and "og-og-og", but unique to when he sees our dogs).
- he eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day - cut up of course. it is so nice to have something quick to prep that fills him up. it saves me a ton of time at lunch.
- mason eats next to nothing off a spoon any more. it is almost exclusively finger food. and he is much more open to trying everything which has been a lot easier than madelyn's transition to table food because she doesn't take well to spices of any kind (including salt and pepper).
- sleeping has been going great since we started to try and stuff him during the day and changed him to one nap on most days. although he has been starting to creep back up towards 5:30 and 6:00am again the past two days...
that is all i can remember right now. i started this post a while ago and had a really long list but for some reason it didn't save and i had to start over. once i put it on a post i let it go from my memory and i had a hard time trying to recover it from the recesses of my brain. oh well. love.

I have so been there- with lost posts. No fun. Loreli won't attmept spices or any added flavor, really. Weird. Kinley went through a shot 'biting' stage, but never left wounds. I think she was just seeing what her mouth could do. 2t jammies? Wow!
