Well, to be perfectly precise you would have to include the e- 
but since it takes more than 1700 e- to match the mass of just one proton 
adding the mass of e- takes the result out to several places beyond significance. However, the measured atomic mass of any atom DOES include e-, of course, because they are there in the atom as it is being measured.
