Mason: 8 months!



It has gotten so hard to take his picture now!  This kid doesn't want to sit still for anything!  Therefore, these were some of the best pictures, and I took them with my phone because it was easier at the time.







Sleep:
- Naps are the same with him napping 2 times a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.  They each last an hour and a half to two hours.
- Bed time has been interesting the last 2 weeks.  First he got sick, another ear infection (pretty sure this kid will end up having to get tubes in his ears).  During this time he basically didn't sleep. It was not fun!!
- Now though he has pushed up his bed time.  All of his crawling and pulling up and going non-stop has worn this kid out by 7:30!  So he has been so easy to put to bed and sleeping a good 11 hours.  It has been fabulous!

Feeding:
-He has 5 5oz. bottles a day and 3 solid meals.
- He has snacks throughout the day as well.  He loves to feed himself!
- He is becoming less interested in the bottle and hasn't been finishing all of his bottles.

Weight and Length:
- 20 lbs. and around 28" 

Diapers and Clothes:
- Some 3-6 month stuff still fits
- 6 month fits well
- Most 9 month outfits too, some are little big still
- Size 2 in diapers still, but we are about out and will be moving to 3's in a couple of days

Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:
- I think this has been my absolute favorite month so far!
- He is a crawling machine
- He pulls up on anything possible, and loves to stand.  My little dare devil is now 
even holding on with one hand, making me so nervous!
- He has learned to click his tongue, and does it all the time!
- He says mama, dada, and hey.  He doesn't necessarily know what it means, but he said mama first!
- We have been giving him more "real" people food instead of just baby food.  He loves to feed himself and try new things. This kid loves to eat!
- He is such a happy baby, and we can't get enough of him!  I love him so much!

As we all know, I am not exactly blogger of the year.  I was tagged in the 11 thing that was going around by Emily, and it has taken me this long to actually do it.  Since I am so behind I am going to skip out on tagging others.  Here we go:


11 Random things about me:
1. When you first walk into our house there is a formal living and dining room.  It has been empty for the 4 years we have had the house until now!!  I finally got my Amish dining room table and a gorgeous love seat from World Market, we are making progress!
2.  I was surprised and extremely blessed to receive a sizeable bonus for how well I and my students did last year when it came to standardized testing!
3.  Nick and I are planning our 2013 Spring Break trip!  Yes, we are planners!  March of 2013 will be spent in London, and I can’t wait!
4.  I’m kind of addicted to Starbucks…like, I will go to Target because they have a Starbucks not because I need anything.  Sad, I know!
5.  I have been thinking a lot about my profession and career lately, and feel as though I may need to make a change.
6.  Being a language arts teacher and all, I am ecstatic about the fact that with toys all over the floor Mason goes for the book!!
7.  My husband would never admit it, but he likes to watch Khloe and Lamar with me.  They are the only “Kardashians” we like, and he told me the other day that when it comes back on not to watch it without him.
8.  My favorite food is mashed potatoes, I could seriously eat them everyday!  Especially my momma’s!!
9.  We were originally going to cancel our cable, but we are in love with our DVR!  It is more about the DVR than the cable for us.  Plus, we have the cheapest package and we have U-Verse with AT&T so it really isn’t that bad.
10. I am in love with Tori and Dean!  Embarrassing I know, but I love their family dynamic and how genuine they are.  Their kids are so funny too!
11.  Even though we have only been at our house 4 years and we bought it new, I already want to start looking for a different house and move.
