Bowles Unscripted: 1 Month Old

Has it really already been a whole month? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing little Mason home from the hospital.

He is getting so big (even fitting into 3 month jammies) and learning new things every single day! I just want time to slow down because before I know it he won't be so little anymore! Just today he rolled from his front to his back and I was such the proud mommy! These last couple of weeks he has also been smiling so much more and he even giggles.

Caught a yawn on camera

Finally asleep in the cradle! And yes, I broke every rule and put a huge fluffy blanket in there with him.

The infamous hand.

Just some hand positions while he sleeps

MASON LIKES:
Showers with Daddy
Sleeping on Mommy's chest
Looking out the window
Being outside
Being rocked from side to side
Grandma Jepson
Laying on Payton's lap
Being in his carseat
The sunshine
His hands by his face (still)
Putting his hand in Mommy's shirt (he always finds a way)

MASON DISLIKES:
When Mommy eats chocolate (won't make that mistake again)
Tummy time
When Nala puts her wet nose on his feet (he kicks her in the face)
Being cold
Diaper changes (still)
The hiccups

His biggest milestone this last month has been going on his very first camping trip! We decided to go with my family this weekend to Yuba Lake and I was a little nervous to see how Mason would do...but he was a champ! The boy LOVES being outside and just stared at the trees and soaked up a little bit of sun with mom. He slept SO good too, but I think it is because he got to sleep in between mommy and daddy the whole time we were there. All day long while everyone went boating we stayed back at camp with Grandma and literally just relaxed. It was nice to get away for the weekend and just be with family!

Mason & Daddy LOVED the hammick! Nala enjoyed hanging out right next to them the whole time!

Sleeping snug as a bug in his "sleeping bag!" (Thank you Sarah!!)

Lounging with his Uncle Brian (he has to get lots of snuggles in with Brian because he leaves on his mission in 8 weeks!)

Cuddling with the best Grandma in the whole wide world!

For a few hours on Saturday it poured rain and there was a good amount of thunder and lightening! Mason and I took a nap for a couple of hours and then waited it out in the tent. He LOVED just laying there staring up at the red ceiling in the tent. (Hence the red hue on his face)
