2 months!





Sleep:

  • Getting better and better.  He now wakes up once a night, usually around 3 or 4; however, we don't feed him, we are able to calm him down and get him to go back to sleep!  Hopefully he will be sleeping straight through very soon!
  • He still takes a few naps during the day.  Depending on how he feels, he will nap 30 mins to an hour between feedings, and he will stay up and play a lot more now.


Feeding:

  • About 6-7 times a day.  He will go anywhere from 3-4 hours, during the day it is usually longer and at night he goes less between the last two so he can go all night without eating.
  • He is eating 5oz. from a bottle, and sometimes he wants more!  He is a growing boy!


Weight and Length:

  • Dr. appt. on Friday and we will find out!


Diapers and Clothes:

  • He is now wearing a size 1 in diapers...we are officially out of newborn diapers.  My little man is growing too fast!  We prefer Huggies or the Target brand(these actually hold the best...never had a leak when he is Target diapers, plus they made up a diaper cake we were given so we have bunch that we didn't pay for!)
  • Very few newborn clothes fit anymore, but 3 months are too big.
  • It is very frustrating trying to dress a boy!  There are so many more girl clothes than boy, it isn't fair!
  • The brands that have 0-3 month as a size fit the best.


Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:

  • He is such a happy baby; we can't complain in the least!
  • Still a bit of a grunter but not as much as before.
  • He now screams when we take the bottle out of his mouth to burp him...food has become even more important to the kid.
  • Is really starting to enjoy his playmat/toys that light up/car seat toys.
  • Not a huge fan of tummy time, but when he tolerates it he does so good at pushing up and holding his head up!
  • Rather than lay down, you prefer to be sitting as upright as possible or 'standing' on someone's lap.
  • Love to make loud noises randomly!
Time has flown by and we love watching Mason grow.  It is so amazing to watch his personality start to show!

Beware...

There are tons of pictures on this post.  I feel like I have some catching up to do and what better way than with pictures!

My best friend took me out for my first post baby trip to Katy Perry!  It was awesome!

Mason loves his baths...especially since we got his turtle to keep him nice and warm the whole time!

Do you see the patch of red hair??

Since I didn't make his bottle fast enough, he decided to give himself a Harry Potter scar.

Since we have been walking so much we decided to buy a jogging stroller so we could keep our regular one in good condition.

Mason is loving his swing now!  He will stare up at the mirror and mobile and eventually fall asleep in it.

Since I can have alcohol, I decided what better way to celebrate than at brunch with the sampler!  It had a mimosa, a strawberry/lemonade/champagne, and cranberry juice and champagne.  It was fabulous; however, I didn't finish all three because it was a bit much for this lightweight!


Mason went swimming for the first time!  He loved it!  Sara, my bestie and his godmomma, got a pool, and it was like a giant bathtub so Mason loved sitting and kicking in the water!

Lately, Mason would rather being sitting up or standing than laying down at all.  So, we figured we would give his bumbo a try and he loved it.  He looked around and held his head up so good!

Sleeping in his swing...
Mason smiling at his Daddy!  We love that he smiles for us now...we are completely in love and obsessed!

In the car...

I'm taking part in Emily's, from Lived a Charmed Life,  project 52...a picture a week that follows a specific theme.  This week, in the car...


This was our last weekend as a twosome!  We spent the entire weekend just hanging out and getting ready for Mason to make his appearance.  Sno Cones was a must...this was Mason's last sno cone until he can actually have one on his own.
