17 Weeks-Mason

Mason went for his check up yesterday and shots.  I think he did better this time around than last time.  By yesterday afternoon, he was all smiles and giggles. 

STATS

Weight: 15lbs 5oz putting Mason right in the middle at 50%

Height: 26 3/4” We have a long long baby, 95%.  If this kiddo does not stop growing, he won’t get to wear half the cute clothes that he has in his closet.  He is long and lean.

Head: 16 1/2” Mason has a smaller head, 25%.  I will say this doesn’t surprise me, because neither Michael nor I have big heads.  I actually think Michael and I have the same size.

I love comparing how much he has grown since his last visit.  I think it is interesting that he grew an inch and a half in a week and two inches in two months.  In the grand scheme of things that is a lot. 

Mason spent most of last week with my parents.  They watched Mason and Gabby and allowed us to go to Chicago for a few days.  I had to be there for work, so Michael came along and we left Mason at home.  It was a wonderful 4 nights of uninterrupted sleep.  I thought it would be hard to leave Mason for the first time, but it really was not hard at all.  He was happy with his Nana and Papaw playing and getting lots of love.
