Mason: First Play Date

Mason Michael Garcia
Born October 7th, 2007

7lbs 3oz
19 1/2 in

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)!

First Play Date

The other day Mason had his first play date. It was with Kelly's son, Aiden. Kelly and I went to Middle and High School together and is also Stacey's best friend (they grew up together). (For all of you who might not already know that :) ). Aiden is 1 month and 1 week younger than Mason. We meet them at Miwok Park at the "little" kid area. This was Mason and Aiden's first time on swings and they were so cute!!!! It was really windy so we were only there for 45 min. but it was still fun! I love any chance I get to spend time with Kelly not only because she is my only friend that can truly relate to what I am going through but it's also great seeing her and catching up!
