Another month has come and gone and our sweet Mason is growing every day! I don't have any weight/height stats on him because we won't go back to the doctor until 4 months, but rest assured this boy is getting chunkier by the day!
Size diapers: Size 1
Size clothes: 0-3 months and 3 months
Eating: Nurses every 2.5-3 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night. He has had a few nights where he will go 5 hours after his bedtime feeding before he wakes up to eat again. Hopefully this is a sign of some longer stretches to come! He does okay with a bottle, but doesn't love it.
Sleeping: I am at a loss on how to best get this boy to sleep! He busts out of all swaddles, he slouches down in the rock n' play, he refuses to sleep flat on his back, the Merlin's Sleepsuit is too hot for him...I just don't know what to do! I know he would do best on his tummy because that is how he takes all of his naps, but I'm still a little nervous for him to do that at night. As soon as he starts rolling over I will feel better about that, but for now I'm at a loss....and tired :) He takes about 3.5 naps a day...three in his crib on tummy, short cat nap in swing in the evening. Although his crib is where I would love for him to have all of his naps, poor thing naps a lot in his car seat while we are on the go!
Here he is in the Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit...He does okay in it for a few hours, but then gets too hot. I think it is hilarious though - Graham and I just laugh and laugh anytime we try to put him in it :)
This little Samford Bulldog coos all day long. It is the best!
He is starting to make more eye contact and lock in on things - this is a huge thing for us because we were concerned for a little while about his inability to focus on anything or make eye contact!
Sweet baby loves sleeping on his tummy. There have been several nights that I have let him sleep on his tummy and he really does so well with it! He gets his longest stretches of sleep during the time that he is on his tummy.
Mason LOVES bath time! We have started using his bath chair in the sink and he love it. If he is fussy, this is a sure way to calm him down!
I cannot get him to take a paci for anything. I know I should be glad that he is not into it, but there are times that it sure would be nice if he would take it! Watson and Emma were full blown addicted to theirs, so I don't know what to do with a non-paci baby!
So far he is a sweet and sensitive little baby. He does not like loud noises or when other babies/kids cry - both of these always make him cry!
It has been so hot here this month and poor Mason has been feeling the effects of it! Every time I pull him out of his car seat he is so sweaty!
I absolutely love watching these three together. Watson and Emma fight over who gets to hold Mason or whose bed he is going to lay on during their bedtime routine - they love him so much!
