Moooo!!!

Mason has had a good couple of weeks. Aside from another clogged tube today, everything has been going well.

On Halloween we dressed him up as a cow. He hated it at first, but then I think he enjoyed it later. We stayed home and took some pictures of him outside before the trick-or-treaters came. We only had 8 kids this year, go figure after I bought enough candy to feed an army!

He has developed so much over the last couple of weeks. He will now hold in his own pacifier when he sits or lays on his back. He will also grab toys with both hands and hold them for a while and try to bring them to his mouth. Sucking his hands and fingers keeps him busy for long periods of time. He also likes to stand up with support underneath his arms. He loves to talk and he is starting to making laughing sounds. We checked a development book and he is hitting almost all of the 4-month old milestones. We think that this is absolutely amazing given that he was born 7 weeks premature and spent his first 3 months of life in a hospital (most of the time on drugs for sedation and pain). He is truly amazing!

We also have a Noah update! We are happy to report that he had his g-tube and Nissen wrap surgery today and everything went well. Aside from being sore, Noah is doing great and resting up!
