Five months...

Mason Hill, you are the happiest, most joyful baby in the world.  You bring so much joy to our family - words do not come close to describing how much you are loved!!



Size clothes: 6 - 9 month clothes

Size diaper: Size 2

Eats: Nurses every 3-4 hours during the day and usually one time during the night.  We tried rice cereal one week before he turned 5 months.  He really liked it (after a few bites!) but the next two days were miserable - he went to the bathroom ALL day...literally TEN times in one day!  He was also super fussy...maybe it was coincidence but it was bad enough that I decided to hold off.  The more research I did said to skip cereal all together and wait for baby food, so who knows what I'll do.. But for now, we are holding off! 
Sleeps: Typically goes down between 7:30-8 and wakes up for the day between 6-7.  He's a good little sleeper and is only waking up once at night to eat...I'll take it! 

We aren't quite ready for the exersaucer but we had to give it a shot! 

First bite of cereal!

Everyone had to get in on feeding Mason!  Watson and Emma were SO excited that they were getting to feed him :)

It's hard being five months old...tummy time often turns into sleepy time while the big kids are getting ready for school in the mornings!

Thank you Jesus for these boys!

That sweet face...my heart!

Mason, this month you were dedicated at church.  We are so thankful for a church body that loves our family and agrees to come alongside us as we raise you and your brother and sister...pointing each of you to Christ and teaching you about Him every day.  Oh how I pray that you will recognize your need for Jesus at an early age and surrender your life to Him.  Run after Him always, sweet boy - He will never fail you.

The verse that we prayed over you that day was Galatians 2:20  "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me"

Sweetest little rolls in all the world!
