Eight Months...

Eight months of pure joy with this precious boy!  Mason, I say it every time I do a monthly post, but you are loved beyond what you will ever comprehend!  As I rock you to bed every night I thank Jesus for blessing our family with your life. 

Size clothes: 12 months
Size diaper: size 4 (can we just note that his sister was in a size 2 at this same age...ha we have a big boy on our hands!)
Sleeping:  Waking up once at night to nurse (with the occasional night that he sleeps all through the night!)  Almost always nurses before naps, and always nurses himself to sleep at night.  Sweet boy is so flexible with his schedule - he always naps in the afternoon at home, but that morning nap is hit or miss in his crib - sometimes in the car, sometimes non at all.  He is such a trooper!
Eating:  Still nursing great - in fact, he LOVES to nurse :)  Seems to love all foods that we have offered, including some small pieces of table food that we have given him. 

You did great meeting Santa!  I was fully expecting tears, but you held it together and just stared him down the whole time!

You got your first two teeth this month.  You were fussy at times because of it, but still overall are a VERY happy baby!  Here you are asleep in Emma's bed - I had put you up there with her one afternoon and she came and said "I put Mason to bed, Mommy!"  I walked in the room and this is what I found!

There is nothing better than big, wet baby kisses :)

Watson can do no wrong in your eyes - you adore your big brother like crazy!

Christmas pj's with your best friends :)

See all of that drool?!  Evidence of those two teeth!!  You are an ACTIVE little guy - your hands are always busy touching things and more often than not putting everything in your mouth.
