Mason is an amazing baby! He has been giving us the most beautiful little smirks lately...they literally melt your heart! His eyes are starting to focus on our faces when we are holding him and he makes some 'cooing' sounds at us. His head is very strong and he can already hold it up! He is a great eater and by day 6 he was already back up to his birth weight. The nights are the only struggle that we are faced with right now. He is still nocturnal :) and sleeps during the day and keeps us up for a good part of the night. Oh well...someday we'll get sleep :)

Mason is still having trouble grasping the sleeping at night thing :) and we are having trouble grasping the not sleeping at night thing! We are trying to work on keeping him up more during the day to hopefully switch him around. Otherwise he is doing great. He is now making eye contact (which I love) and he is starting to smile at you. Although most of his smiles are still made while he's half asleep after he's eaten...it is pretty cute! He is still eating great..every 2 hours or so. At his last doctors appointment he weighed 10lbs 9oz!!!! His weight gain is awesome! We are loving every second of being parents (even the tired ones)!

Justin is a little iffy about them....they have cuter ones for girls so I'm trying to get some BOY ones! But I think they are super cute!

5 Months Old!!!




Mason is 5 months old!!!He is doing great!!! He laughs out loud now and loves to be tickled! He recently started this separation anxiety thing...he will cry whenever ANYONE besides Justin or I hold him. It has started to become better though and he is letting some people hold him for short periods of time. Mason now LOVES his Jumper and jumps away in it! He is also now eating solid foods for 1 meal a day. We started him with Rice Cereal which he didn't really care for. Then we tried Mashed Bananas which the consistency was weird for him. THEN we moved on to Sweet Potatoes and boy does his love those!! Every night he finishes the whole jar and acts like he wants more! When we are feeding him he opens his mouth and flexes his arms and legs all excited for the next bite! It is absolutely adorable!!!He is also reaching for everything these days. I have his lotion on the changing table and he is constantly twisting his head back to look at it and knock it over :) it's really funny! He has also started this new spitting thing...he spits his own spit and then when we feed him he likes to spit it!!!! I said to Justin tonight it's not like I can tell him NO because obviously he doesn't understand!!! :) It's his first little act of rebellion ;) ohhhh many more to come! haha!! His little personality is shinning through..he is such a silly boy!
