Growing Way Too Fast

Maybe it's just me.  Maybe it's just the fact that I've been back at work for 3 days and am not seeing Mason 16 hours a day like I was before Tuesday.  But I must say, I think he's growing...way too fast.  Chris sent me a picture this morning since he is the lucky one who gets to wake the sleeping beauty every morning, dress him, and drop him off at Ganny's house for the day, and Mason just looked so big!  Don't get me wrong, the kid has yet to fill out (see picture below dated October 16th...silly skinny legs), but he looks really big.  He doesn't look like my tiny little newborn. 

The one good thing about him growing is the sleeping that goes along with growth spurts.  I'm no doctor, I have no idea if he actually is going through a growth spurt but his sleep patterns are suggesting it. Last night he went down at 9 (actually fell asleep with us around 7 but we kept forcing him awake for fear of him not sleeping well), woke up at 2 for a feeding and was back asleep by 3.  Chris WOKE HIM at 7:30 and he was back asleep by 9:15am according to Ganny.  His normal nap time is 10am, so you can see why we think something might be making him a little sleepy.  But again, I'm no doctor and the idea that he looks so big could easily be a camera angle or even the cute little cow outfit he is donning today!

This weekend we are headed to a pumpkin patch for some great fall "first Halloween" pictures.  I guess we'll see how he measures up to a pumpkin to tell how big he really is :).

 October 16 - Look at those skinny legs!!

October 17 - A little dark, but taken mid-feeding, obviously. Mouth is still poised for a bottle.

October 18 - My little monkey is getting so big!
