My wierd kid

Sometimes i think the wierder my kid gets, he might be more like me! HA! He sure does crack me up though!
Crawling? Nope. Mason was so close to crawling a few weeks ago, and since then has given up because he has figured out how to pull up using your hands or fingers, and he loves to walk around that way. So according to him, its MUCH faster than crawling! So forget crawling for now. Even though he's not crawling still...or yet...he does get him self around pretty quick! He scoots pretty quick when he sees what he wants.

On a side note- despite the fact that he is not working on developemental skills- he can flip his tongue however! He thinks its funny when i curl my tongue like a burrito and blow air at him thru my tongue. I think he liked the look on my face even more when he showed me how he can flip his tongue over from side to side! I cant do that! But Daddy and Granma can (and granpa can only do it one way! LOL) So right now Mason is fascinated with his tongue. Yep....so its hanging out alot at the moment.

Mason also has his own language, besides the baby jibberish, he also communicates by growling. He growls mostly at the washcloth (which is used all the time, after every meal on his hands and face and every bathtime) and if and when he gets his hands on the washcloth he takes his frustration out on it, chews on it, whips it around and growls specifically at the washcloth! Today Granpa Tony started growling back at him and Mason responded with a whole conversation in growling. haha!
WOnder where it comes from? Yes, our dog shelby and her 2 temporary resident roommates (Molly & Bear- my parents dogs- keeping them while Dad is in HK) like to play fight and its Mason's entertainment, he loves it when they do that. He finds all 3 of them pretty funny, espcially while play fighting. what else do they do while play fighting? They GROWL. So my adorable son growls and learned it from the dogs! AHHH! .....great....at least he hasnt growled at me yet!!!! LOL and he hasnt barked yet thankfully!

PS- Mason is 8 months old! He cut his 5th tooth this past week and is working on the 6th tooth! Its so odd to see all these pearly whites when he opens his mouth! (and he likes to show them to you too!!!) I can't get over how I have a mini- toddler who always has to be entertained and constantly moving, he doesnt look much like a baby to me anymore! And his hair- he has SO much of it! the hawk is getting SO big, and starting to curl over!!! when it doesnt stand up straight anymore- thats when we'll go get a haircut!

Will post some new photos tomorrow!!
