Here are some updates on Mason and how things are going :)
Growth:
I am guessing Mason is around 13-14 lbs now. He is such a little chunky guy! I am still exclusively breastfeeding pretty much on demand which is around every 2-4 hours. He is still pretty much bald although I can see some thin hair coming in now. His eyes seem to be hazel, they are very green with golden flakes in the middle. I hope they stay that way!!!
Sleeping at night:
Mason sticks to the same schedule every night for the most part. Occasionally he will sleep 5-6 hours straight but he usually goes to bed around 7:30-800 pm and wakes up to eat at 11pm, 3am and 6am.
I feed him and he immediately goes right back to sleep without a sound. We wake up for the day around 7:30-8:00 am.
Daily Activities:
The morning is his happiest time of the day! We play, sing, kiss and talk for about an hour then we shower together, I feed him and then its nap time at 9:30 am. I get ready while he is napping but his naps are usually short (around 30-45 minutes) and I take a little longer to get ready since I can't stay focused on one thing!!! So he does tummy time for the rest. Usually at that point its time to leave or clean. He stays awake for a few hours and naps again around 1 pm until 5 pm. Everyday is a little bit different though. Some days he doesn't want to nap at all and takes very short ones, other days he sleeps for 4-5 hrs straight! Either way he still sleeps at night so do what you gotta do little man!!!
Mason LOVES:
Showering with mommy, SMILING, laughing, sitting up, sleeping with his hands up, riding in the car (he instantly falls to sleep), facing outward in the baby carriers, Christmas music, singing, kisses, being tickled, sucking his thumb, looking at pictures of family, staring at the Christmas tree, his doggies and cat, his aunt and uncles and cousin Scarlett :)
Mason Dislikes:
Being Swaddled, laying on his side, tummy time, facing mom in the carrier and yelling or loud voices of any kind.
This past month we have done lots of shopping and we went to disneyland again.
He has been to Disneyland twice and will most likely be back in January when he turns 4 months!!!
I still absolutely love every second of being his mom. I am taking a few more weeks off from work so I will probably be back in January. Not sure how long I will be working for. Mason comes first and we don't really need the extra money, it would just be nice to have. I am planning on taking some more classes though so I can enroll in an RN program in the future.
