Only A Mother

...would know and love all of her child's idiosyncrasies and physical traits. They're trademarks that make Mason mine and I could go on all day about how much I love every part of him.

Behavioral:

• Mason's very cuddly and seems to be content being held by just about anyone. One of our "Mason & Mommy Moments" (M&MM) is when he's being held by someone else but sees me approaching he'll just smile really big when he hears my voice or recognizes my face.
• When he's superveryupset, he'll pout out his bottom lip and just wail making a sound that sounds pretty close to "Mwwahhhhmm Mwwahhhmmm..." He has no idea it sounds like, "Mom" AND he has no idea that it's a little amusing watching his lip poke out.
• Mason's learning how to self soothe by making a fist with his right hand and he tries to stuff it in his mouth. He hasn't quite figured out that it won't really fit. He's not a thumb sucker, not a pacifier sucker...he's truly just a boob man. Sometimes it's nice to feel needed!
• He coos when he's superverycontent. When he's cooing by himself and someone approaches him, he'll realize it's time to show-off a little bit and he'll smile even bigger.
• When he's agitated or having a fit, he'll throw his head back and stretch his body out pushing up on his legs. He's a strong little guy and has almost flipped out of my arms a couple of times.
• When he's simply content or falling asleep, he'll extend his arms to rest on my shoulder or chest, that's another M&MM.
• Even though he's not sleeping through the night yet, he'll lay content for a while until he decides he's hungry. This has allowed me to not be so cranky in the mornings...thank you God!

Physical:

• His right eye is smaller than his left. Just like me.
• He has dimples on both cheeks, but his more pronounced one is on his right.
• His left nipple is slightly inverted.
• His piggy toes and long fingers have looked identical to mine from birth.
• I haven't ever seen anyone with ears shaped like his. They're not large, they don't stick out, and they're not prominent on his head...just shaped differently.
• He has Mongolian Spots on his little booty and one on the top of his left foot.
• His skin complexion is gorgeous: olive-toned and there's no doubt in the world that we share genes.
