Feeling Guilty

I should have done this long ago but life happens and I just got busy for the last nine months. Imagine that! I am creating this blog to document milestones in Mason's life. Sure, I could have used the regular (public) blog but I am going to try to post EVERYTHING. I would guess that most people will not care to know that Mason pooped 3 times in one day. I just think this will be fun to read (and for Mason to read) many years down the road.

So to catch up...Mason is almost nine months now and he has grown up so fast. I stay at home with him except for one day a week when I go to work on Friday. He is doing an army crawl and will rock back and forth on his hands and knees. I don't think it will be long before he is in a full fledged crawl. He has three teeth, two on the bottom and on on the top and he grinds them. It gives me the chills when I hear him grinding them together. Today he started pulling up to a standing position. He woke up from his nap and I watched him stand in his crib on the video monitor. I took him into the office at Keller Williams and everyone told me how cute he was. He was in a REALLY good mood so he was laughing and being the "ham" that he is.

Ever since Mason was about 2 months old he basically quit taking long naps. Now he "catnaps" anywhere between 20-45 minutes a couple of times a day. I don't think he has slept for longer that an hour at a time since he was a tiny baby. You can imagine how hard it is to entertain an infant all day. i get jealous of all the moms that have babies that take a 2-3 hour nap in the morning AND afternoon. That is between 4-6 hours a day that their baby is SLEEPING...not including bedtime!!! You always hear that being a parent is the hardest thing you will ever do but I don't know what all those people are complaining about. If I had a break like that, this parenting thing (at least at this age) would be cake. Anyways, enough of me complaining...Mason is sleeping through the night and has been for quite a while and he is the HAPPIEST and CUTEST baby so at least I get to be awake with a happy and cute baby. I just look at it as more quality time with him.
