Mason is 15 months!

Mason is 15 months and wow is time flying!
We went for his 15 months check up and he weighed 25 pounds.  He is the 70% for weight and 40% for height.   Logan was always in the 80-90% for height.  Mason is our short and round little guy.  He got his shots and was a real trooper, not even one tear!
He has been learning and doing all sorts of things it seems like over the past few months.

• Boy, does this guy have a temper on him! If he sees a toy and wants it and we take it from him (no honey, I don't want you to choke on a Hot Wheels car) he gets so mad.  Screams at the top of his lungs and throws himself on the ground and kicks his legs.  This goes on for about 15 minutes, sometimes longer.  And there is NO consoling him.  Logan is such a sweet big brother and tries to give him another toy, or a snack or something and he will just shoo it away or hit Logan.  One time, Mason was throwing a fit in the bathtub the other night and I was trying to bathe him and he was kicking and screaming and went under the water.  I pulled him up so quick, scared me. We never had these bad of temper fits with Logan so this is all new to me.  The best thing we can do is ignore him and he will eventually calm down. He also throws fits when we put him in his car seat.  As you can see from this picture, he falls asleep grumpy.  

• His eating has changed since he turned one.  Used to, he ate everything in sight. Lately he is getting more and more picky.  He will spit out food if he doesn't like it.  I made spaghetti the other night and he would not touch it. Some foods he loves are:
• Mac n cheese
• chicken
• beans
• hamburger meat
• bread 
• goldfish
• bananas
• yogurt
• applesauce---As you can see no veggies at all! We have given him peas, carrots, green beans, broccoli, he spits them out.  He is learning how to use the spoon and is quite messy with it as you can imagine. 

• He is giving us kisses, waves bye, claps his hands and signs more. He has become quite the talker.  He can say:
• Mama
• Dada
• Bubba (Logan) 
• Ball
• Bye
• Hi
• Night Night 
• Fish (kind of) 
• Cheese (it is more like cheeeee when I tell him to say cheese for a pic) 
• No 

• This kid LOVES balls! He will throw around a ball (and he actually throws pretty good!) and be entertained.  He would rather have a ball than any other toy. We have a balloon that has been blown up for a while and he loves to toss it to us and then go after it.  
• He is still not walking.  He has taken a few steps behind a push toy, but that is about it.  He walks along the couch and will walk with us when we hold on to him, but hasn't gotten the courage to let go just yet. We always laugh and say his big belly is throwing him off balance! 

• LOVES his brother.  Oh man, always wants to be where brother is and do what brother is doing.  He calls him "bubba" and Logan loves it.  They play very well together and loves to get on the floor and wrestle.  Logan is gentle, but Mason seems to be the rough house one.  Logan can always seem to get Mason to laugh or dance.  

Buggie boy, you are just growing up too fast for us! We love you to the moon and back!
