8 Months

Who's 8 months old now?It's Mason!Mason at 8 months weighs 21 lbs, has 6 teeth (and suspiciously swollen gums), and a fluffy blonde mohawk. No, I do not style his hair, it is completely natural. :) He seems to have slowed down in growth, at least in the weight department. He looks longer and thinned out, and thus, much more like his older brothers at this age. Since Mason has had such a difficult time sleeping we've had to put him on the "cry it out" program. He still wakes up and cries every night, but not as frequently, and he cries himself back to sleep after a 1/2 an hour or so. It stinks, but we're all getting a little more sleep this way. I just can't wait until all his teeth are in! Mason loves to play with my hair (read: pull and chew) as well as rubbing his brothers' buzzed heads. He hasn't met a food he doesn't like (except for green beans) and he is an excellent self feeder. He loves to sit and play with his toys, instead of having to do so much tummy time. He is a very snuggly baby and he is quick to smile at a friendly face. Happy 8 months, Mason!
