What is it about sleeping babies?!!!

Just soooooo peaceful and precious!
I LOVE watching Breyton sleep.
Maybe because it's the only time he's still, but nonetheless I love it.
I can go sit in his room just to watch him breathe and usually spend time praying over him for God's protection and that he will grow to be a man who follows and loves our great God. Mason calls it a little bit creepy, but I call it a mom thing=)

Today at nap time he insisted to sleep with his shirt off lol and I found him snuggled next to his Mr. Mouse buddy.
 And here we are watching him sleep the day we brought him home from the hospital...he's grown soo much.

Father and son

I love when Mason and Breyton get to have quality father/son time! Its great for the two of them to bond and gives me a little time to get things done or have some quiet time to myself. Mason has always been a great father and I'm very thankful for that, but over past few weeks Breyton went through a major phase were he only wanted mama. It was bad.
For some unknown reason only I could do EVERYTHING....he didn't want Mason helping with baths, with getting dressed, with any snacks/food, washing hands, going to the potty, reading books, bedtime, I could go on and on. He always said "no, mama do it!" and had screaming fit if Mason did. Thankfully....very thankfully this only lasted about two weeks because it was rather draining! The hardest part was bedtime because that's Mason's main 'task' :). I gave in and did it a few nights because you would have thought it was the end of the world to Breyton for dad to put him to bed for a couple nights.....then as suddenly as this phase started it ended for no known reason.
According to my very brief  'research' I suppose it can be a pretty normal thing for some toddlers to go through so I guess it was just a short lived phase.Things are back to normal and Breyton happily lets daddy help do most things as was before. Mason is more glad its over than me I think because it sort of hurt his feelings when Breyton made such a big deal over it all!
Breyton is actually back to preferring 'play time' with Mason because after all he's the more fun parent lol. Here's Mason trying to teach Breyton how to play football....B was all about the tackling and stealing the football!

Things to remember-December

My sweet sweet little man is getting so big. Here are some favorites for December:

1) He loves Finding Nemo...we watch it almost every. single. day.
2) Sometimes wants to hold my hand while falling asleep.
3) Potty training went amazingly well and he has been such a big boy about it! Tells us every time yelling "peepee, hurrry!, peepee!"
4) He looks so cute in his 'hanes' underwear:)
5) Will help sing along and do motions to "My God is so big, so strong and ALMIGHTY! There's nothing    my God can not do!"
6) Asks me to sing 'sunshine song' when we are rocking. Aka "You are my Sunshine"
7) Had soo much fun opening presents.
8) Loves to try to repeat everything we say.
9) He really loves his grandparents and asks to go to "grammy's house" or "meem's and papa's" often.
10) When I get too busy he asks me over and over to "sit, play trucks mommy". He just wants me to sit and be with him.
11) He is getting so smart and can tell from miles away when we are almost 'home' or to the grandparents house.
12) When its time to go somewhere and he doesn't really want to he says in the sweetest voice "wanna stay home with mommy". Melts my heart.

There are so many other things I could type,but these are just a few from this past month that are special to me<3
