Our Sensitive Boy....

                                

Remember when I wished that our boy would be like his daddy? I think my wish has come true! Mason is such a sensitive little soul. He won't ever fuss over being cuddled and kissed and he loves to be massaged and caressed as he fall asleep, signing off with a sweet smile before he goes off to dream land. This is just like Mike who would never turn down a massage and loves to cuddle. With the hugs and cuddles and sweet smiles, there's a flip side. His heart is unbelievably fragile. If he wakes up and doesn't get the proper amount of lovin' and cuddles before his diaper change, his face turns read, tears pour from his eyes and from his mouth escapes the most heart wrenching wail you've ever heard. This is true with bath time, when it's time to get swaddled and just generally any time that he isn't snuggled tight in someone's arms ,sleeping soundly in his bassinet, or happily chattering to the ceiling fan. And though that gut wrenching sob is so sad you could just cry with him, it's also the most endearing thing about him and I hope I never forget how his lip quivers once he starts to settle back down. The same is true for Mike. He is not one to hold back his emotions even if they bring tears to his eyes.This is  contrary to Mackenzie who will snuggle under the right conditions, very much like her mama.

All ready for a pre-nap snuggle

One other part of Mason that is sensitive is his tummy. So much so that my already limited diet has been trimmed down even more. Stricken from my diet are : anything spicy, chocolate, caffeine, milk and all other forms of dairy , many veggies and did I say chocolate?  But of course, he is completely worth every ounce of chocolate I couldn't eat . Hopefully in a few weeks, his tummy will be a little more mature and we can test the waters with some variety in my diet.

I'm off to bed. It won't be long before I am awakened for a wee hours snuggle with my little sensie!
