May-May

My little man is 8 weeks already. He is turning out to be my baby of opposites, as he is different from his brothers in lots of ways.

First off, he is so, so, so calm! I can't believe how amazing it is to have a baby that doesn't scream day and night! I can just set him down and he will sit there and smile and coo...unlike Carson and Jonas who would have just screamed and screamed. I love that he is such a happy guy.

Second, he is so chubby. Last week he weighed 11 lbs 14 oz...so I'm sure he's over 12 or almost 13 by now because he's been gaining about a pound a week. To give you a reference at 10 weeks Carson was 11 lbs 14 oz and Jonas was 11 lbs 13 oz. I've already got him in some 3-6 month clothes.

Third, while he was born with super blonde hair (his brothers were born with dark brown) it has now fallen out and is coming in dark (the older boys' hair came back in blonde).

I have to mention that his nickname around here is "may-may". When we brought him home and told Jonas his name was Mason, Jonas called him "may-may" and it has just kind of stuck. I'm sure he's going to hate that when he is older!
