Happy First Birthday, Sweet Mason!

Our baby boy turned ONE on May 30th.  So now we have a 3 year old and a 1 year old.  Crazy. 

We went to the doctor yesterday for Mason's check-up and his stats are almost identical to his brother's at this age, except Mason is 2 inches taller than Ethan was!:  21 pounds (20th percentile) and 31 inches (92nd percentile)!  Looks like he will be tall and skinny. 

Just in the past few days, it seems as though he is dropping his morning nap, so the boys will be on the same schedule now.  Good, so we can do more in the morning and won't have to wait for him to wake up. 

He is wearing 12-18 month clothes,
-in size 4 diapers,
-eats like crazy!  3 meals a day after he has his milk,
-switched to whole milk at 11 months,
-wakes up around 6 am :( and goes to bed around 6:30 pm.  My goal for the summer is to get him to stay awake longer at night and sleep a little later in the morning. 
-started walking but not very steady yet (video soon)!
-LOVES when Mommy sings to him,
-started pointing to pictures in his books,
-trying to help him give up the bottle and move to cups only
-does the "more" sign when eating

Happy Birthday, my baby.  We love you so much.  :) 

 Mommy, Daddy, and Ethan came in singing Happy Birthday to him in the morning!

 He wasn't too thrilled...
