This is just a quick update. I will be posting pictures later on. Yesterday Mason went to the doctor for a weight check and he now weighs 13 pounds 11.4 ounces! We go back in a month for his 4 month check up, yes I did just say 4 month check up... Time is flying by so fast!! He will be getting more shots next month as well. He is starting to roll from his belly to his back for us again! :) On October 16, at daycare, Mason decided he wanted to get frustrated and roll for the first time from his back to to belly. And of course, he got even more frustrated because he was on his stomach. :) We have not seen him ourselves go from back to belly, but there is absolutely no rush in that right now! It would be cool to see, but no rush. Haha. Mason has tried out his jump a roo. There are times where he just touches the ground and others he feet are just a quarter of an inch from the ground. He really enjoys it and stares down the monkey toy. :) He hasn't gotten the concept of jumping yet, but we do the bouncing for him. :) We work on sitting up with him when he is in his boppy. He is doing good with that, he still leans but that is okay. We are in no super rush to get him sitting up perfectly right away. He needs to slow down with his milestones. Haha. He loves to stand and wobble. We definitely will be in trouble as soon as he starts moving. :)
Rob and Aunt Sassa's birthday was yesterday. We had some ice cream cake and opened gifts over at Rob's parents house. Rob says he had a good birthday. :)
I didn't get the full time position at another branch, but I was "promoted" (per say) to part time at my branch. I get more hours, and benefits, but I knew I would have to take a pay cut when I moved up to part time or full time. But I make it up in hours, and I also get benefits. (Not to worry though Mason is covered on Rob's insurance).
That is it for now. I will include pictures next post. :)

Catching Up
Wow, sorry everyone that it has been a while since I posted. Things have gotten kind of busy. With Mason staying more alert more, I am not on as much to even try to think to update. Look for pictures at the end :)
Rob and I are doing really good, keeping busy with work, Mason, and looking for our own place. Rob is the one really doing the research on the houses and looking at them. I am excited though. :) I started back to work on the 25th of September (a Tuesday). It was nice to return to work and get back into that routine. While I am at work, Mason goes over to Aunt Heather's house for daycare. For those who don't know, Heather is Rob's older sister, and she has her own in-home daycare. He is doing good over there, and the other kids love him. I just had an interview on the 5th of October for a full time position at a different branch, with the same company. I should know something with in this coming week. The new supervisor is someone I have worked with before and she suggested I apply. We are hoping I get this position, not only because I will be making more money, but I will have the benefits. My hourly rate will go down, but I do get the benefits, which I do not get right now. But over all, I will be getting paid more. Rob is enjoying work, they are in between projects right now, so they are kind of relaxing, just getting the little things done around the office, and anything that comes up. :) They just finished moving people to the building across the street and because they did such a good job, they got to go out to lunch. :)
Now, on to Mason. On, August 29th (1 month!!) he was weighed at the doctor's and he weighed 10 pounds 8.5 ounces. On September 22, we went in for his 2 month check up and shots. He weighed 11 pounds 11.4 ounces. He was 23 1/2 inches long, and his head circumference is 15 inches. He did really well getting his shots. He got 3 that day. The first shot, he kind of just looked at me with a confused face, like he saying thinking, "what was that?!". The second shot he cried for 2 seconds as the nurse was taking it out. But as soon as she stuck him for the third shot he cried as to say "mom, I am so done with these!!". But I was able to calm him down just about 10 seconds after that shot was over. We go back on Rob's birthday just for a quick weight check, than we will return in November for his 4 month check up and shots. We are just going for the weight check later this month just so they can keep an eye on his weight. He growth chart is showing his weight gain, is slowing down a little, and they just want to keep an eye on it to be safe. Another reason, is that he has been spitting up more than what is normal for a baby, to the fact that he is wearing bibs so we don't have to change his outfit 3 times a day. We can just switch out the bibs, if we have to. His spitting up got worse all of a sudden so the doctor ordered an ultrasound and blood work to test for pyloric stenosis. It is what I had when I was a baby, and my dad also had it. It is more common in boys, and it is not common to be passed down, but for the fact I beat those 2 statistics, we have been keeping an eye on him just in case. Pyloric stenosis is when the muscle leading out of the stomach to, I believe, the small intestine, becomes large and closes. Nothing can pass through so everything just comes back out in a projectile vomit way. His ultrasound and blood work came back clear. So the doctor thinks it may be reflux. We are trying different things, and his spitting up has gotten so much better. The past few days, it has come back, but it is not that bad at all. We are going to keep an eye on him and work on trying different things to help him out. He doesn't seem to be in pain or anything. He lets us know when he is hungry, which has been every 2 hours, when he is getting tired, or dirty diaper. Besides that he really doesn't cry. Okay, well except when he is laying on the floor on his tummy to do tummy time. He starts off okay with it, than he just cries until we roll him over. Speaking of rolling over... On September 14, Mason rolled over for the first time!! From his tummy to his back. He has rolled over about 10 times for us, but he hasn't done it in about 2 weeks for us... Hopefully he will continue rolling over soon. I like watching him start to get frustrated that he is laying on his tummy, but when he rolls over, he usually calms down not long after rolling over. :) Besides that, he has been super smiley for us, starting to get more interested in things with lights, like the tv, (he loves watching football), Rob's tablet for work, and our phones. He did get a toy stacker, that lights up and makes noise, that I just tried out with him for the first time, and he seems to enjoy the lights. He definitely is still our little mover, he likes to be on the move. We had gotten a super seat at one of our showers, and he seems to enjoy sitting in there. The super seat is similar to the Bumbo, but it already came with the seat belt, there is a big circular tray that can be rotated around him that has toys on it. It does convert to a booster seat when he gets older. He is not interested in the toys yet, but soon enough I have a feeling he will be. In the past few weeks, he has discovered his hands and the fact that he can put them into his mouth and suck on them. He is starting to look at his feet, so I have been taking his socks off to show him his feet, and what they look like with out the socks on. His head control has gotten so, so much better. :) At the beginning of September Mason traveled with us up to Buffalo to see, and meet some family. We are hoping to go back up soon, but we have to see with our schedules when we can go up there. On one of our days off together, Rob, Mason, and I went to the zoo. He slept through pretty much the whole thing, but it was a nice day. :) I think that all that has gone on since I updated. Well, it is all what I can remember for now. Haha. We are hoping to go to a pumpkin patch this month. :) I will try to get better on updating the blog for everyone! And now, for pictures. :)
Hope everyone enjoyed the update and pictures! Take care and Good night! Oh speaking of night, Mason is pretty much sleeping through the night, he is usually in bed by midnight and wakes up at 7 am!! :) Yay! (Knock on wood that I don't jinx it...)
