Sorry I haven't been on here updating my blog. I guess a lot has happened and I just lost track of everything. I am seriously thinking about getting a planner so I can keep things on track. Any suggestions on planners?
Mason is getting SOOOO BIG! I will now update you on his 9 month miles stones and the same for his 10 month and then I will be caught up before he turns 11 months old!!
Mason turned 9 months on June 3rd, 2014. Mason weight was 21 lbs. and 29 1/2 inches long. He got his top two teeth. (total of four teeth now). They finally cut through when we flew out to California to visit my Grandmother who was ill in the hospital. This was Mason's 2nd air plane trip. He did great both times we flew. His first time traveling by plane was when he was 5 months old. :) I was so grateful that it was a good experience flying with an infant. I look forward to visiting my family again soon.
Mason is still crawling, well an army style crawl. He doesn't have any interest doing it any other way. He loves playing in his walker. He loves food! At 9 months old we were trying rice cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, apple sauce.
Mason is still the happy little guy he has always been. He is very easy going, quite. He is just a go with the flow kind of baby.

Off to his 10 month update....
Mason is currently 10 months old. 2 weeks ago, I had a huge scare with him that needed medical attention. Mason was playing on the floor on his blanket playing with his toys, right below me as I was sitting on the couch watching the news. I heard him coughing and gagging a little. I thought he was just choking on his spit since he is drooling a lot more. Well, he kept gagging, I put him on my lap to see what was going on. I didn't see anything in his mouth. I was getting a little more concerned with his gagging so I took him to the bathroom for some more light. I sat him on the counter and opened his mouth wide, to find a piece of paper in the back of his throat. I grabbed him off the counter fast, I sat on the toilet and laid him on his tummy, head down and I started to pat his back. Of course he started crying and I was trying so hard not to panic. He was still gagging. I reached my fingers in his mouth and I did this "hooking thing" with my finger and I was able to pull it out. It was a bar code sticker from something we purchased. I have no idea where it came from. I was so relieved that I was able to get in that far to pull it out.
I did take him in to see his doctor because I was nervous about the patting I did on his back to get him to cough it up. I also wanted to make sure his throat was okay, since there was blood on the sticker when I pulled it out.
But everything was okay with Mason. His doctor said his lungs sound great and that he might have a little bit of a sore throat.
I am currently signed up in September to get a CPR licenses. It will be good for 2 years. It has been since 2005, since I had CPR training. I want to be able to be updated and to stay educated if I ever find myself in this position again. I hope not, but you just never know.
Other then that. Mason is very healthy. He is smiling & laughing lot's more. His favorite foods are those food pouches. He sucks the food right out of there!! :) He likes to pull himself up to stand. He still does his army crawl, but it is so much faster. He has strong arms! He really wants to get up and walk. He has really good balance. It's only a matter of time before he is walking. He loves to chase me in his walker. It's so funny seeing him in his walker and is able to get around. I remember the first time putting him in his walker, he was so small and not tall enough for his feet to touch the ground so we had to put blankets under his feet and around his waist. Time sure does fly by fast. He will be turning 11 months old in 14 days. WOW! He's almost one!
Well that's all I have to say for now. I am so happy to be updated on his mile stones. See you next month!
