5 Month Update!

Growth:
We aren't sure how much Mason weighs this month but we know he is 27 inches! He's a big boy :)

Sleeping:
He's going through that 4-6 month regression right now. Up 3-5 times a night and at 3 am has a hard time going back to bed. It's sucked pretty bad lately.

Daily Activities:
He is a lot easier to play with and keep busy during the day now. On the days I don't nanny I play with him in bed in the morning and talk to him while I clean up the room. He loves to ride in the Ergo baby carrier while I clean and then when he gets tired of that I have him jump in his jumper. Also while I am cooking he likes sitting in his highchair and playing with his toys on the tray.

Mason LOVES:
Pretty much all the same stuff as last month!!! He is starting to like his car seat again which makes life so much easier. He also loves eating food now. I mix his rice cereal with banana or apple and he gets crazy while eating it!

Mason Dislikes:
He doesn't like sleeping in his room very much but I try to have him take all of his naps in there to get him used to it. He still hates tummy time, although every time he is on his back he flips over to his stomach. Oh yeah and he HATES the ocean water in Santa Cruz, I don't blame him but I put his toes in for a brief second and he screamed :/


This past month we took Mason to the beach for the first time and he liked it so much we went make twice. He loves touching the sand and letting it squish between his toes. He also liked eating it! Mom fail but I got out as much as I could before he could actually try to eat it.

I've been letting Mason co-sleep with me every once in awhile in the mornings and it is the best. We both love the cuddles and it is so much easier to feed him and sleep at the same time lol.

I seriously miss that little guy so much right now while I write this, its 9 pm and he is asleep in his crib in his room. I hate being away from him :(
