Mason is 7 months today

My baby is 7 months old!! Boo-hoo! He is so fun and cuddly. I love it. He is really quick to give hugs and let you hold him close.

He is starting to like the bottle more and more! WAHOO! That is a huge accomplishment. I didn't think we would ever get him to take a bottle. I finally figured that juice would entice him. It worked. Now if we could just get him to do breast milk or formula that would be even better. He is eating lots of different foods now. Our latest is plums. I think they are tart but he likes them just fine.

Mason has started sitting up and crawling all in the same week. He still has round bottom syndrome but for the most part will stay up. We got his pictures made on Friday and he sat through the entire shoot. I stayed close for the head dives but he did pretty good. On to the crawling. He gets up on all fours and rocks really hard until he leaps forward like a frog. He can get anything now and really prefers to be on his tummy so he can get around.

He has been having some issues with cradle cap lately so I went searching for some baby oil to put on his head to loosed up the gunk. No luck so I thought surely Vaseline would work. Well it did and I combed out a lot of the stuff before I put him in the tub. I washed him and then lathered up his little head. I combed it some more to get more gunk out and then I rinsed. hmmmmm..... it is still pretty greasy. So lather, rinse, greasy. WHAT??? Lather, rinse, repeat, etc... for 3 more times. No luck. He was stuck with Vaseline in his hair for the night because I was tired of bending over the tub. I dried him off and combed his hair into a mohawk. It was so cute!! :)



We go to the dentist on Wednesday for Cannon's tooth appointment. Keep us in your prayers!
