Mason One Sweet Month

It is hard to believe that Mason has already been with us for one month!  It has been so fun getting to know this newborn phase all over again with Mason.   Definitely seems easier with the second baby.  Just if we knew all we know now with the first!  But he still keeps us on our toes here!  We didn't anticipate so many showers at diaper changes and the number of leaks we had in the beginning is a little embarrassing.  And I sure don't think there is a way to avoid the tired factor!  Mason has kept very, very busy this first month of life.  Sleeping and eating are on the forefront of his mind(if you call that busy!).  We are working hard to sort out his days and nights, and I think we are almost there.  And now he usually gives me one to two wake-up calls at night, which isn't so bad for month one!  We are all routing for him to sleep through the night very soon!  But as a mom, I have learned never get too used to a good thing!  His personality is really calm and laid back for the most part.  He is very tolerant of his diaper changes, cold wipes, and his bath times.  Just hates getting that nose sucked and waiting on his momma tending to his sister isn't much fun either!  Can't she hear me?  His awake times are much more alert now, looking at all the blinds, fans, shadows, windows, and our lovely faces.  He plays circus between his swing, bouncy seat, activity mat, and moses basket.  But he loves to let us know that his favorite spot is in someone's arms.  He loves to be held or even just the company of someone sitting next to him!  And of course being the momma, I am already convinced he is smiling at me (real ones)!

Snoozing in the swing.

He loves to give us smirks and puckers while he sleeps.

Love a baby right after a bath!
We think Mason has a long torso like his daddy.  Love those long, squirmy arms and legs!  

Mason, do you miss your swaddle?  You know they are really tired when they sleep contently without a swaddle.

I think he looks like his Uncle Todd sometimes too.

What an exciting month of life!  Now slow it down for me!
