Update & Pic's

I don't really have any good excuses for why I haven't posted in a while. I guess I decided to take a little break to get some much needed house cleaning and organizing done.

In the last few weeks, we have been enjoying whats left of our nice weather before the real cold stuff comes. Mason has really developed a love for being outdoors and I try and make it a point to take him out everyday. When it is colder, sometimes we just sit on the porch for a while and watch for Dad to come home. Today the weather was nice so we pushed him around in his wagon and let him play in his Cozy Coupe.

We have had some routine doctor appointments and follow-ups. Mason had his well baby check a few weeks ago and received some vaccines. To our surprise, he only cried a couple of times and once I picked him up, he stopped. Yesterday we had a follow-up with his Pulmonary team. They were very happy with his progress. He was even recovering from a cold and his lungs sounded clear and equal. Since he is doing well with growing and lung function, he will not need the shots to prevent RSV this winter. This was great news. We received a referral to a Pediatric Dentist since some of Mason's upper teeth are coming in discolored. This is most likely due to all of the antiobiotics he received during his NICU stay. The good news is that adult teeth start to form around 4 months, and by that time Mason was home and off of all antibiotics.

A couple of weeks ago we took Mason on this first trip to the zoo. We met up with my sister and Mason's buddy Austin and his parents. It was a pretty chilly day, but we had a lot of fun. We saw lots of animals and I think Mason enjoyed himself. We waited until the end to take the boys on the train, but they both fell asleep before we could ride. We decided to let them sleep :)
