Bad Habits

Usually when I think of bad habits I picture something like biting fingernails. Lately I have realized that Denton and I are suffering from a bad habit that probably should stop but neither of us want to stop. We are good at putting our little man to bed at about the same time every night and he usually falls asleep promptly and without drama. Here is where our bad habit comes into play. Before we go to bed a few hours later we can't help but to go into Mason's room and check on him. (Nothing wrong with that!) Here is the bad part . . . we can't help but pick him up and snuggle with our sleeping man. On the days that I fight the urge Denton gives in and picks him up.

Mason has started being mobile. For the past month or so Mason has been army crawling all over the place. His favorite spots are Molly's water dish and all the electronics Denton has to have to go with our tv (ie DVR, Wii, Xbox, PS3). And he still makes a bee line for Molly's cow hoof and toys. It has been entertaining and crazy chasing the little guy all over the place and bringing him back to the center of the floor. Last week Mason has stated getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. This usually frustrates him and makes him cry, he wants to move so bad. I think his problem is he wants to move both of his hands at the same time and then jump forward with both legs. We are looking forward to all the drama and trouble that comes with crawling. We are currently trying to figure out some gate that will keep Mason out of the kitchen but is still open so that Molly can run in and out as she pleases.
