8 months old! How?

How is my baby already 8 months old?? Yesterday Braden and I started talking about Masons first birthday and how exciting it will be to be with family and friends in WA. Today being Masons 8 month birthday, here are some tidbits about my precious baby boy!

-He LOVES to eat! He likes everything we have given him: green beans, carrots, summer squash, brown rice, baby mum mums, kix cereal, apples, bananas, pears, avacado, all juices (apple, grape, sugar free lemonade).
-He is crawling everywhere and SO FAST! He has thinned out so much in the last 2 months since he has been mobile. We've had to baby proof and he is sometimes smart enough to outmanouver (sp?) us.
-He still only has 2 teeth on the bottom and they are sharp as razors.
-He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm and sleeps till 8am (except this morning he slept till 9:45am).
-He LOVES bathtime, we dump out all his bath toys and give him bubble baths every night and he would stay in there for as long as we let him.
-He loves being outside in the grass (especially when he eats it).
-He loves the park and the swings!
-He has the cutest giggle in the world and mostly only laughs for his dad.
-He is a daddys boy all the way.
-He has been on 7 airplanes back and forth to see family in WA.
-He can go from crawling to sitting.
-He loves the daycare at the Rec Center so mom can work out in peace.
-He loves ALL people. No stranger anxiety, no separation anxiety. If you pay attention to him he is your best friend.
-He loves when Braden speaks to him with a scottish accent.
-He's content to play with his toys on the floor for hours every day while I get lots of things done.
-He is the cutest, smartest boy and we are so in love with him!

These pics were taken yesterday while we were hanging out at my cousin Jacob and Sabrinas house. Mason was playing on the floor near baby Lila (my cousin Christina and Legrands baby) when Hannah came and was giving Mason loves. It was hilarious so of course we all got out our cameras!



Oh yeah, the countdown has begun, we are moving home in T-8 days!
