Mason: 3 Months!

Sleep:

• He typically sleeps anywhere from 7-9 hours straight at night!  We still have the occasional off night where we have to help him back to sleep, but no complaints.  He goes to bed between 9:30 and 10 and wakes up anywhere between 5:30 and 8.
• 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 about 2-2.5 hours.

Feeding:

• We now have him on a set schedule for feedings.  It is working out great for both him and us!  
• He eats 5 times a day at 7, 10:30, 2, 5:30, and 9.  Then, he goes to bed.
• He is eating about 5-6oz. from a bottle.

Weight and Length:

• We won't officially find out from the Dr. until his 4 month appt.
• I would guess he is around 13 lbs. and 22 inches long.

Diapers and Clothes:

• He is still wearing a size 1 in diapers.  They fit perfect, and we are definitely Huggies fans!  We feel like they fit the best and "contain" the best!
• All newborn clothes have been packed away...so sad!
• 0-3 and 3 month clothes are what he primarily wears.  Old Navy must run a little small because he is in 3-6 months there.

Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:

• He is such a happy baby; we can't complain in the least!
• His acid reflux seems to be doing a bit better!  The Dr. really thinks he will grow out of it between 6-12 months, here's hoping!
• He has good and bad days with the reflux.  The spit up seems to be less than before, but there are days where it is really bad.  The other night he practically spit up every ounce we fed him during both his 5:30 and 9:00 feedings.  Then, he woke up at 2am pretty upset.  Luckily, those days are few!  We still have to burp him after every ounce and hold him upright 30 mins after eating, and it seems to help tremendously.  The Dr. isn't super concerned because he is gaining weight and never screams or gets upset when he spits up.
• We got a new play mat that has a piano he can kick with his feet and he absolutely loves it!
• Getting much better at tolerating tummy time, and he holds his head up like a champ!
• He loves to stand and sit up!  He has a blast in his door jumper too.
• Loves to talk all the time, and he will even talk to strangers!  Nick says that is the Santowski in him!

He would smile, and then we would take his picture and he would give us his serious face.  Guess he is practicing to be a model!

With his new best friend, Sophie.

He likes her as a toy, and we will see how it does as a teether when he gets there.

Loving his piano play mat!

Door jumper...he loves to be naked!

Finally playing with toys!  He loves to pull this toy that we have hanging on this car seat!

Slacker...

I have been a huge blogger slacker!  Let's just say this is going to be one interesting school year.  A lot has changed at my school, my district, within the state, and just education in general this year!  Plus, I spent my entire summer enveloped in my new bundle of joy so I was the most unprepared and unorganized I have ever been.  It took me some time to get it together while still being a wife and mom.  I have already forgotten half of what has since I last posted, but here are some pictures to serve a sort of catch-up...

We found the cutest hat!  I love it, and we found an awesome polo that matches perfectly!

Mason playing in his door jumper.  You aren't supposed to use this with a 2.5 month old, but he loves it!  He is holding his head up so well and loves to stand so we just put a pillow behind him, and he went to town!

Let me explain... Nick's parents took a picture of him in this very outfit.  This is what his Cabbage Patch Doll was wearing.  Yes, Nick's parents put him in the doll's clothes and that meant we had to do it as well.  We are lucky we did it when we did because, as you can tell, it is a tad bit snug!  We just said he is a linebacker instead of a wide receiver, haha!
