Mason turned 15 months old yesterday. And I have not blogged since he was 8 months old. Thats almost half of his life in "not blogging". Needless to say there is no way I would ever be able to catch up...so I wont try. I loved reading some of my old posts....especially the one about how excited I was to give him stage 2 foods! haha. oh, the little things!
Tuesday night we had our first trip to the ER. Something that kept crossing my mind was "Am I really old enough to be bringing my kid to the ER?" Geesh. Yep, I guess I am. I have a wild, crazy, busy 15 month old who never ever sits still- ever. I'm sure this experience will probably be the first of many. I do hope my 'reaction' gets a little better before our next trip. This time...I put my face in my hands and seriously wished it would go away. Luckily Paula and Michael were with me so they took care of the blood and crying and comforting....while I sat there like a wussie. It is kind of similar to the time I started to the toaster on fire at work and almost burnt the place down- my reaction was NOT what I expected it would be. I can't believe I am failing all the expectations I had of myself. I have learned that I am not able to stay calm in high pressure moments. But, I need to learn. My mom assures me that Mason will have a broken bone before he is 2. crap. Can't wait to see how I react to that one......

I'm so excited
Yesterday the AEA came to check up on Mason (they come every other month to see if his development is on track). I wont talk about the annoyingness of all of our appts because I am so excited. They said he was ready to switch to Level 2 foods (which his dr told me to wait til he had some teeth). Anyway, since we were running a little low on anything but orange foods (squash-his favorite- SICK, sweet potatoes, and peaches) I stopped to get some greens and began checking out the level 2 foods. I picked him up some Apple Cinnamon oatmeal and some macaroni and cheese with veggies (yes, its orange too). I can't wait to give it to him tonight and see his reaction. I bet he'll hate it...but I'm pretty excited!

I made it
...under the 1 month of not blogging deadline :) woo hoo! One thing that is partly to blame is the fact that I got a new phone that I still do not know how to operate very well. I used to be pretty snazzy at blogging from my phone but this Mesmerize deal is just no Blackberry.
Anyway, I started track practice on Febraury 14th and ever since then my life has been just a tad bit busy. But I love it that way....most of the time. We are having our first meet coming up next Monday. I can't wait to see what my hurdlers can do. I had huge goals for them and then, we lost our best hurdler. However, after these first weeks of practice I'm pretty confident I can perhaps keep my lofty goal for them even without her. yay!
Mason has turned into a little boy. He has a little fiestyness like his mama. He makes this funny grunting noise when he's not "getting his way". He eats his baby food really well and has been sleeping awesome. He is a professional roller over from his back to his front....but not the reverse. We got an ultrasound on his big head and they said everything was perfect. Can't wait to tell the premie dr that. And, for the first time in the healthcare world I realized maybe they just wanted my money......whatever.
My bff Tiff is getting married.....and I need to get skinnier.......... crap.
Thats all for today.

Mama's not keeping up....
I was kindly reminded that I'm not following through with my New Years resolution to blog often.....darn. So I was reading my post below from Mason's half birthday and realized that its been 3 weeks- and in those 3 weeks Mason has become a professional roller over. He's not rolling across the room to go get things, but he definitely knows what he is doing! He also has been sleeping through the night nearly every night and when he wakes up in the morning he just talks to himself in his bed and plays until we get up with him- he is so awesome! Another cool thing happened last week when I took him to the basketball game- he didnt cry at the sound of the buzzer! WHEW! I was getting pretty worried about that....how am I gonna have a little point guard if he is scared of the buzzer!?
On another note, we went to the premie doc last week and it was interesting. We have to fill out this questionnaire about Mason's development and on paper it showed his 'fine motor skills' are in the concern category......and she still thinks his head is too big. I'm not gonna blog much about it today because we go to our regular doctor tomorrow...so...stay tuned.
This week was also exciting because 1- it was my birthday, 2- track started this week, 3- I took Mason to parent-tot swimming class! It was hilarious...he pretty much showed no emotion the entire 30 minutes. He didnt really react to the water at all (which is good because I would assume he likes it). All he did the entire time was STARE at all the other kids and watch them. It is safe to say that I have one nosy little boy on my hands (like his mama maybe?!?). It was very exhausting for me though. Try getting two soaking wet people dried off enough to go outside during the winter (thank goodness its actually more like Spring out there right now). Tonight (if we go) I'll def. have to take a helper with me! Also- the pool is more like a hot tub and the room is like a sauna- so I was pretty pooped by the time it was over.
I think that is all for today!
