Rain Rain....DON'T Go Away!!!!

What does 13 hours of sleep look like you might ask? Or at least I wondered for the past 6 months. Yes, I am getting old: in bed by 8:30 some nights!! In "BABY" land sleeping through the night is a complete 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep which Mason has been doing since 2 months old. However, when he started to roll over he would wake himself up rolling from one end of the bed to the other. Well, last night into the wee early morning we had HORRIBLE storming weather. Thunder so loud it shook the house. Did that wake my lil man??? Not quite...he slept through the whole storm and then some. He did not wake until 9:30am and that was because I was trying to wake him up. I think he would have slept another hour if I let him. Well it is 12:30 now and guess who is taking a nap? That's right Mason!!! I guess all the running around and playing we do throughout the week wears the little guy out. So RAIN, THUNDER......come anytime you want if this means a GREAT night sleep for Mason......and ofcourse his mom and dad :)

Watching You.......

Marcus is soooo cute!!! The song "Watching You" by Rodney Atkins came on the radio the other day and he said...."That's mine and Mason's song!" SO...I started listening to it. Here is the chorus from the song if you have not heard it.......

Chorus:
He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that cool?
I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
We like fixin’ things and holding moma’s hand
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad.
I want to do everything you do; so I’ve been watching you.

here is the link if you want to listen and watch the video:

Only....they won't really be fixin' things since Marcus is not too much of the handy man :) Anyways, the other morning I heard the song playing. Marcus and Mason were listening to the song and watching the music video on the computer. It was so precious. I know Mason already looks up to his dad. When Marcus gets home from work he just lights up with a huge smile on his face. I love "Watching Them" and would love for my son to GROW UP JUST LIKE HIS DAD!!

Half Year Birthday!!!

Mason 6 months ago just after delivery.....my precious son! After taking him to NICU I was worried about the health of Mason....does he have an infection, why was his temp. 104??

All bundled up to regulate his temp.

My lil guy at 6 months!!! He's a big little boy :) Healthy and PERFECT!!

Well this past 6 months has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Mason is now 6 months and just as fun as ever. Every stage you think "this is the best" and it just amazes me how each day, week, month gets better and better. Mason is sitting up on his own (for longer periods of time), trying to crawl, talking more and more, and rolling all over the place. If the next 6 months go by as fast as I think they will I don't know what I will do. As I sit here typing I am listening to his infectious laugh that I absolutely love.....he is such a happy baby. Here are a few recent pics.
