First, the mysterious skin bump is well....still a mystery. It did pop and drain about a week after I last posted about it, and now it looks much better. Since then, we visited the Pediatrician again, tried a stronger antibiotic, and were referred to a Dermatologist. The Dermatologist said it didn't look to be bacterial or infectious which was good news. She did say it could be a number of things and we would not know for sure until we took a biopsy. She did say it does not look to be dangerous or bad and is probably a harmless growth. The biopsy will leave a scar and since Mason doesn't need any more scars we made the mutual decision to wait an additional 6 - 8 weeks to see if it will heal up on its own. If it doesn't, then we will proceed with a biopsy. The good thing is that it appears to be healing on its own, ever so slowly. We are hoping that it will be gone by the time the 8 weeks is up.
Mason is also walking around a lot lately and we have noticed that his balance is improving each day. I still stare in disbelief when I see him walking. I can't believe how fast he is growing up! Here is a video we captured over weekend.
Mason has been working with puzzles quite a bit lately. He really likes his wood stacker and is getting pretty good at putting the pieces back on after he takes them off. We also just started with a shape puzzle that has colors on it. Mason has done really well with matching up the colors which helps him find where the shape belongs. He just has a little trouble getting the puzzle pieces to fit perfectly into the hole and will become pretty frusterated. Once his fine motor skills catch up, I think he will have an easier time. He has also become really interested in his Sesame Street alphabet cards, I think mostly because there are pictures of Elmo and Cookie Monster on them :)
Here are a couple of recent pictures taken over the past couple of days:
Playing.... 
Watching cartoons with his snuggly blanket. 
Helping with the kitchen remodel. I thought I would end this post with a video of Mason being goofy.

I almost have tears!!! I am so excited he is walking so well! It looks like he goes really fast though :) Did he just skip right into running??? Callie just got her walker today!! She wasn't very excited about trying it out during her PT session, so we will try later today. Hopefully she has as much success as Mason has had with his!
I love the videos! Mason is so adorable! He looks like a grown up little boy in the jeans! Keep up the good work Mason!
