Today Mason is 5 months old and I can't believe how fast time is flying! I officially feel like he isn't my little baby anymore. He learns something new every day and is just getting so big!
Mason has still been a good sleeper, but would rather sleep in our bed instead of his own. During the night he always sleeps in his crib, but when Brad wakes up at 5:00am to get ready and go to work Mason will usually wake up and fuss until I bring him in the bed with me. I just lay him in Brad's spot and he goes right back to sleep. Little stinker.
He is finally starting to gain some weight since we started him on solids. He eats solids twice a day, but I'm sure he would eat more if I let him. To put it simply, this boy LOVES to eat!
He likes:
Apples
Pears
Squash
Sweet Potatoes
Green Beans
Peas
Peaches
Rice Cereal
Biter Biscuits (he tries to chomp the whole thing...I regularly fish huge chunks out of his mouth)
Jello (a few bites here and there is all we give him)
Marshmallows (I only gave him one but it was hysterical to watch him eat it!)
He dislikes:
Carrots (and that is it!)
When I try feeding him carrots he doesn't just make a yucky face or let it dribble out of his mouth, he full blown spits it back in my face. That was a lovely mess to clean up...
A trip to Scheel's fascinated Mason! There was so much to look at and he loved it!
A couple of weeks ago I finally gave in and cut Mason's hair. He still had a few really long strands of hair left from when he was born and it was looking so bad, so I chopped it off. Now you can see his cute brown hair growing in!
He will still sit and watch football with his daddy, perfectly content.
Smiles while he sleeps!
He found his feet and loves to play with them. It makes changing his diaper a whole lot easier!
Mason has the most expressive eyebrows of any baby I've ever seen! He makes the funniest faces at me sometimes and I was just lucky enough to catch it with the camera today!
Mason still likes to make lots of noise and he squeals at everything!
He still hates being passed around from person to person so we try and keep that to a minimum.
He loves food.
He loves to splash in the water at bath time.
He is very intrigued with cameras and generally gives a puzzled look in every picture.
He doesn't like a loud environment - he will have a complete meltdown.
He doesn't like me to sit through church - he'd rather squeal through relief society.
He will wake up screaming in the middle of the night if he poops.
He generally doesn't pee while he sleeps at night - he will wake up dry and about 20 minutes later he unleashes and fills his diaper!
He never stops kicking his feet!
He sleeps with his hands above his head every night.
He is truly the sweetest boy and I couldn't ask for a better baby!
Love him!
