Happy Birthday Mason!

Yesterday was my little man's first Birthday. Can I just say I am so happy to be his Mom. He is such a joy. We had such a big day yesterday and he was a trooper through it all.
He had is 1 year check up at 9 am and he came through with flying colors. He is 31 inches tall (87%), 21 lbs. 8 ozs. (29%) and has a head circ. of 49.5 cm (99%). So he is tall, skinny and has a really big head!!

He had to have 4 shots and he was really sad until I gave him a sucker. We finished faster than I had planned and we had a 1/2 hour to kill before Holly's preschool orientation so we went to Lowe's so I could look at paint colors and prices while he enjoyed a bottle of his favorite Soy milk. He won't drink regular cows milk! ;(

Then we went to the preschool and Mason was so tried he fell asleep about 5 minutes after we sat down to listen to the orientation speech. We where there for over an hour and he slept through everything! He didn't wake up until I had to put him into his forward facing car seat (Yeah!).

We went home and after a good lunch of Chicken Noodle Dinner and a nice bump change it was down for a blissful nap at 1pm. He slept right through Ryan coming home so I could take Ethan to his kindergarten evaluation, which Ethan passed with flying colors by the way.

Mason didn't wake up until 3:45pm! He was happier after some more ibuprofen and played happily with his brother and sister and Patrick, who is now at our house every day after school.

After a ton of fun and lots of Birthday wishes, he has to wait for all his presents and cake until Sunday at his party, he played in the tub. He loves the water and it is really hard getting him out. Then prayers, which he crawls right over to so he can be part of the family.

I was very surprised that we went right to bed without the usual fight right at 8:30pm and slept without waking clear through till 8 am this morning!! It was a wonderful first.

I will have more pictures and fun to post on Sunday after his party so till then, Happy Birthday Mason - We love you tons!
