Hubs and I are supposed to be out socializing this evening, and while "socializing" is something that hubby partakes in from time to time, it's quite a rare event for me. However, baby has decided that he gets to make the plans tonight. Rather than our plan of putting him to bed by 7pm, and have him asleep by 7:15pm, and then leaving J to listen for him while we sneak out for a few hours, he has decided to scream as he did in our early days of sleeping training (6 weeks a go). I think the little blighter could be getting closer to cutting that first tooth since he has been showing signs of teething for a couple of months. Hubby thinks he wants attention. Either way, baby isn't sleeping and it has become a waiting game of whether we go out or stay in. 

On a brighter note: We introduced Mason to Santa on the weekend, at a mall in Nanaimo (and by the way, I hadn't been to a mall in probably well over a year, except once for maternity clothes, and of all days, I chose the busiest Christmas shopping day to go!), and it went pretty well. Mason is a people person and extremely observant, so, face to face with a big white beard was quite interesting to him.

We chose this photo over the one of him looking at the camera. We can get pictures of him looking at the camera anytime, but this one was just so classic.
