Mason's 10 months!

Mason turned 10 months on the 12th, a special day, what would have been Grandpa Joe's 62 birthday!

Mason is a drool monster! He now has 6 teeth, 2 on bottom 4 on top.  He smiles and giggles and talks and hugs and kisses and says Hiiiii and Daaadaadaa, Gaaagaaagaa, HOT and WOW.

He eats most things.  Has quickly learned the louder he is the quicker he'll get your attention, which usually never means crying, just shouting.

He's on the move and climbing and pulling himself up and following you around.  He's just the sweetest.

He has 2 naps a day.  Roughly 9-10:45ish and 12:30-3.  He goes to bed around 6:15pm and wakes up anywhere between 6 and 8am. 

He's down to just 3 nursing sessions.  Morning, afternoon and bed.  Bittersweet for me.  I've been grateful to be able to nurse all of my babies for a year, definitely a blessings as well as a sacrifice! The other day I calculated: Reid and I have been married for 9.5 years.  I've been pregnant for 3 years and nursing for 4!!  We're definitely entering into a new phase of parenthood, as I realize those will likely be the final numbers for those categories!

 and now I'll just let the pictures and videos do the talking of our sweet Dream baby!

Not sure if I posted this yet, Mason says "WOW" [VIDEO]

Mason mimics Reid making fun of girl talk "Like O M G I know, right?!"...

Pulling himself up in the crib AND taking his pants off.  He's also mastered throwing his blanket and nuk out...

 Sleeping with one leg up

 and then this happened and I about died.  I swear he knows I can see him!!!

 One of his favorite places to crawl is under the table, but he almost always gets hurt, flips over, or bonks his head, or stands with the chair or bench and slips

 [VIDEO]

 always happy, always smiling

 and always drooling

 I don't know, but there's something about his cute little toes, and it brings be back to feeling kicks and movements when I was pregnant and his cute little diaper butt with the pockets on the jeans!

 Overalls! He looks like my brother here, I think

 We do put socks on him, but he always pulls them off

HOT [VIDEO]

Just smiles and giggles when he's outside! You know he's the boy after 3 sisters, when he rides in a "purple" sled

 He's such a good daddy.  I was at a neighborhood annual Christmas party and Reid brought all the kiddos outside.  Not an easy task

 C-Mile Sibs!

 Post nap playtime, I'm sure I have a bunch more videos on my Youtube page you can watch :)

He HAS figured out the stairs, but doesn't go for them too often.  I'm sure it won't be much longer before I have to block these on a regular basis

Doesn't have another hand for the ball, so you uses his mouth...[VIDEO]

Peeeeek, I see you, Mom! It's been a breath of fresh air to have a baby this age not constantly glued to my hip, like his sisters were!

Such a little Ham, gosh I love him!

Happy 10 Months, dream baby! You can stop growing now and just be Mama's little baby boy for ever and ever. OK?

Love you more every day, Sweet Mason James!
