Mason is actually almost 11 1/2 months. I can't believe he's almost ONE YEAR OLD! Can you tell how blond and how curly his hair is? You might also be able to see that his right eye still turns in - sometimes it's worse than others. He still wears a patch over his left eye for 30 minutes a day. We return to the doctor in July and he'll get a more intensive exam.
Some tidbits about Mason:
* He eats some homemade baby food but mostly finger food (whatever we're eating, broken into small pieces) three meals a day
* He nurses three times a day (when he wakes up, before his afternoon nap, and before he goes to sleep at night)
* He takes two naps a day - the morning one from about 9-10am (I have to wake him up sometimes to make sure he will still take his afternoon nap) and the afternoon one from about 1:30 - 3:30 or 4
* He sleeps through the night just great - from about 8pm - 6:30am (but he usually plays in his crib till at least 7am when I go into feed him)
* He can crawl really fast, pull up on anything (including a wall) and cruise around. But he is still not walking and doesn't seek like he's very close to walking (He's never taken a step on his own or even stood on his own)
* He can say Dada, Mama, ball ("baah"), bye-bye
* He can wave bye-bye and really likes to say it and wave when he realizes someone is leaving
* He likes to clap his hands a lot (we say "Huan-yin, huan-yin" and he claps - that's what the locals say to teach babies to clap, it means "Welcome, Welcome")
* He is pretty much a happy baby. He loves to be held or carried but also doesn't mind playing by himself or riding in the stroller. He gets really excited when he sees dogs!
* He adores his big brother and loves almost any attention from him. He still doesn't complain when Reister takes toys away from him (I'm sure that will change soon)
I could probably write a lot more, but he's actually waking up from his afternoon nap!
We love our Mason Turner!
