Busy April So Far

Well we had a wonderful Easter. Mason to tons of gifts from his grandparents and us. He is a very spoiled little boy, but we wouldn't have it any other way. He watched me mow and daddy wash his truck that day. We were pretty busy. We wish we were home with family but we made the best of it.

April 9th I thought it would be a great idea to try Mason with some egg yolk. Well not a good idea after all, he had a allergic reaction to them. I saw him just rubbing and rubbing his face after eating them. Then I look at him and his face is just breaking out really bad. So I get him in the bath just to make sure nothing got in his eyes. Well then it started to spread to his whole body. I start to panic, I call his doctor and talk to a nurse about it. Well let's just say she made me feel like the world's wrost mother. She said you know he isn't supposed to be eating that yet right? And all I could think about is that I just hurt my son I need to get him in. Then she told me to bring him in ASAP is 10:10am ok she said, It was 8am. She really wants me to wait 2 hours to bring him in? I am just balling at this point not knowing what I should do. I call Dustin and I'm crying and he tells me to take Mason there now. So I get dressed and then get Mason dressed. I take him in and the doctor sees him, tells me it is ok. He gave Mason some meds to help him. Poor kid was just itching so bad. The doctor also told me that he can't get a skin test done until he is 18months. So I was thinking it wouldn't have mattered if I gave him eggs at 12months he would have still had the same problem. What the heck. I have read and looked many things up saying I could give him egg yolk at the age of 10months and up. Stupid nurse made me feel so bad, and it would have happened to him anyways. I wanted to call her every name in the book. Well Mason is much better now. He hasn't had eggs and wont have eggs until he is 18 months to make sure that is what it really was.

April 10th we took Mason to the beach for the 1st time. Well it was way to windy and cold so we just walked around the woods awhile so we didn't waste the money we paid to get in. And I saw Mason was getting his 1st tooth in. He is growing up so fast I just can't believe it. Later that night we went to the drive in and Mason did great. He slept the whole time. That is really the only time Dustin and I get a date night.

On April 13th Mason started walking behind his little walker thing Nana got him. He has so much fun with it.

Today Mason was playing with his walker and fall hit his mouth on it and made his only tooth bleed. I told Dustin he is going to knock his teeth out before he even gets them to come in. LOL. He cried for a min and then forgot about it. Well is tooth is really showing now since he broke the skin from it. Today we are also trying to take the paci away. I know if he continues to have it, it is just going to get harder to get him off of it. He went to sleep without it tonight. He had his mouth wide open for it after I feed him his bottle. I felt so bad, but this has to stop now.

Mason knows how to crawl now!

On March 5th mema was in town and was helping Mason crawl and now he has it down great. Well it isn't a full on crawl it is an low crawl. But let me tell you he is everywhere. His poor knees are bright red from dragging them everywhere. I am now working on walking. I just hope he doesn't to fast. Im sure he will take his time. He is like his mama in that part. Taking the time is the best way to go ;)
We had a great time with mema being here. I think Dustin really loved having his mother here. But we all went to Savannah one day and walked around for most of the day then headed home. It was very nice to see family since i miss them so much. I can't wait to be back in Missouri with my niece's.

Also my niece Brooklynn came in to the world 4wks early. She is 8lbs and 6oz and 22in long. She was very large for being 4wks early. Beckie and her will be at the hospital until Wednesday March 10th and then they should be able to go home. She is doing wonderful and got out of the nicu on the 9th. I can't wait to meet her. I bet Izzy can't wait to see her little sister either. She is going to be a wonderful big sister.

February

Well this past month has been busy. I just got back to SC from staying in Missouri for about 2 months. It was very nice to be home with family and friends. I had a wonderful time and a very busy time back at home. I loved seeing my niece almost every weekend. She has changed so much. She is very ready to be a big sister I think. Mason does miss having big cousin around.

Dad drive Mason and I back from Missouri all the way to SC. He didn't allow me to drive. Mason did pretty good for being in a car seat that long. We did stop over night for a little while. It was nice to get out of the packed car. We slept that night and then hit the road again. Dustin got home the following day we got home. I had picked up the house a little before he got there. It was a mess with all Mason's new toys he got. It was nice to see Dustin fast a month. I think he missed little Mason the most. It took Mason a little while to warm up to dad. But just 5 mins.

Then this past week Dustin, Mason and I went to Charleston to see my grandpa and Lyn. We had a wonderful weekend spending time with them. Mason loves his great grandpa. Mason did get the whole weekend until the day we were leaving. I think he was ready to be home. We kept him pretty busy the whole time.

Mason the past few days has been trying to crawl, He will get his knees under him and rock back and forth. I think it will be soon before he is crawling like a pro. He has his 9 month appt tomorrow. I hope they don't give him to many shots. I feel so bad when he gets them. He has also moved up to a big boy car seat. He loves it. He loves being able to see. I don't blame him at all.

Well I hope to be able to do this more. I just have to do it when Mason is taking his nap.
