Things Mason Will Hate We Posted When He's a Teenager

So give us about 12 years and Mason will hate this post.  Not just because he'll be a teenager, but because we're going to get personal.  Mason has been very very cranky today, and wasn't great last night either.  Allyson was up with him from 10:45 until Midnight (he's usually great about going to sleep around 9:30 or 10) simply because he was cranky.  He woke up at around 8 this morning (with an intermission at about 4:30) and the crankiness continued.  Here we are at 5:20 in the afternoon and cranky he is still. Want to know why?  It's simple really...constipation.  Poor kid hasn't pooped in almost 3 days because of a combination of new formula (we've switched him to sensitive) and a lingering cold that is slowly going away. Needless to say, he's uncomfortable.  Which means Mommy and Daddy are uncomfortable and at the point of just wanting to help him feel better and we just can't.  A list of what we've tried per the dr's suggestions:
- warm cottonballs on his bottom
- warm rag on his tummy
- warm bath
- thermometer up the booty
Tomorrow morning (at 3 full days) we will call the doctor back and they said most likely we will be supplementing some juice in his formula to add some fiber. We'll keep you updated on that. 

Regardless of the crankiness, we've been able to capture a couple of adorable moments.  One of him last night, dressed in his overalls (Allyson loves him in overalls) before going out to dinner last night, and one this morning, curled up in Allyson's arms sleeping.  His one few moments of being peaceful today.  And a third picture, its not from his first bath, but its from the first time he took a bath without screaming.  This leads us to another topic he will one day hate us talking about on here...

Our son hates to be naked!  We think he's the only baby in the world who screams every single time he is naked. Hence our excitement today during his bath, he stopped screaming for a moment, we had to capture in on film and lie to him one day that its a picture from his first bath.  We'll just keep that secret between us. But we don't want to ruin his reputation, within seconds of the picture being captured, the screaming commenced and didn't stop until he was out of the bath and completely dressed.  He's modest, what can we say.

Enjoy these great pictures, and remember, when Mason is a teenager, this post never happened!
