{28 Weeks}

Our sweet baby boy is now 28 weeks!!!

How did this happen??

That's 196 days, 4704 hours, 282,240 minutes that you have been with us Mason!! Most Magical 282,240 minutes of my life!!

Mason, Mason, Mason – your Mommy has been an emotional wreck lately. Everything you do makes me cry! But in a happy way. I am so proud of the little boy you are becoming. You are so sweet, so lovable and so very smart. You amaze Daddy and I everyday. You make us wear permanent smiles. I can’t even describe what you do to this Momma’s heart. So much has been going on lately and it just keeps getting better and better. We love making memories with you. Especially right now, with the holidays – Momma is all about starting traditions. I must be wearing your Daddy plum out! But hey, it’s your first year so they have to start now. Right?

You are getting very attached to Mommy and Daddy these days. You love your Daddy, but I am about 99.9% sure you are going to be a Momma’s boy! Sorry Daddy!!!!! I love it, though. You fuss when I leave a room and light up when I enter a room. This makes my heart all warm and fuzzy.

Let’s see, at 28 weeks...

- You love to cuddle and I soak it up!

- You give BIG tight hugs where you even squeeze a little and you give kisses too!

- You have a stuffed Elephant that we named Eddie (for good reasons) and you absolutely adore it. We think you will be attached to it for years to come. Or maybe Mommy is just hoping so because it’s Oh.So.Cute.

- You love the lights on the Christmas tree and the Christmas lights on the house, but your favorite is your Sock Monkey Stocking that sings and lights up. Every time we turn it on it’s like you are seeing for the first time. Your face lights up! It’s such a beautiful site. Everyday after work Mommy grabs you, gives you hugs and a million kisses (sorry, blame it on your cheeks baby) and plays with you a bit, then we go over to your stocking and have a gleeful time!

- You are at the stage right now where you know where your “Security” is. Some things are frightening you and you tightly grab on to Mommy and Daddy. Like this weekend a loud Motorcycle drove by us in Grapevine and you buried your head in my chest and squeezed me tight. I secretly thank that Motorcycle-man. And you only want to go to familiar faces right now.

- You are getting great at “copying” things that Mommy and Daddy do.

- You love to “bounce” and it’s still in once piece, somehow.

- You are taking steps when holding your hands

- Still love your toes. Which has kept you from rolling over from back to stomach. You get ¾ the way there and then stop and grab your toes. O’well it’s cute!

- Your hair is still growing like crazy.

- Sleeping has been okay this week, not the best, but okay. You are kicking, twisting, punching and turning like a mad man. It’s hard to get your legs to wind down to go to sleep. Last night was much better than the previous 3 nights. Yay!

- You love to eat! You want everything that Mommy and Daddy has. You also love to drink from a straw. You’ve recently discovered Sherbet ice cream and love it. You’ve also had the inside of Mommy’s French fries and liked it pretty well.

- When on your stomach you’ve gotten into the “crawl” position a few times.

- You love to sit up on your own and play with your toys.

- We tried your duck bathtub again and SUCCESS. At first you wanted to fuss, but Mommy started splashing water and showing you that it was fun and you were good to go.

- As for clothes – most of your pants are size 6-12 months, 9 months and 12 months, shirts are mostly 12 months, pajamas are mostly 12-18 months. GQ Baby, I tell you!

- In size 4 diapers now
