Mason at 2 months!

I can't believe it has been more than two months since Mason came into our lives. He is a sweet baby, and we are finally starting to figure things out (I think...). Here are a few things from the last month:

Likes:
- bath time, for the most part. He likes really warm water. He hates getting out haha
- snacking. He will eat a couple ounces every couple of hours instead of hunkering down and eating 4-6 ounces every few hours with a good nap in between. Hopefully this doesn't last much longer. Mommy needs to have time to do stuff!
- the changing table. Seriously it's like he knows he is going to have a dry diaper when we set him down...
- being held. Not so fun at night. Fun when other people are around. His favorite thing seems to be falling asleep sitting up with his head in your hand.

Dislikes:
- the baby swing. Although right around his 2 month birthday he has started enjoying it. But up until then no dice!
- the pacifier. I think it's official.
- having to poop. Sometimes it's really hard to do!
- the hiccups. He hates getting the hiccups.

Other notables:
- first smiles on Thursday, August 22. Happy mom and dad! Now he is all smiles, most of the time
- rolled from stomach to back early morning August 26. I put him down on his stomach and apparently when Sean picked him up a few hours later he was on his back. He did a few more times that week, and then didn't do it again until yesterday.
- this kid is a messy eater. Whether nursing or from a bottle he doesn't seem to care if he dribbles. I do though...
- put himself to sleep for the first time (from fully awake) on August 28. We were not holding him, feeding him, or bouncing him at all. I laid him down on his back in his pack n' play to brush my teeth and wash my face, and when I went back in he was asleep! It didn't last very long but hey!
- started sleeping through the night (like a solid 7-8 hour stretch) about a week before he turned 2 months. Then he got his shots and everything has been messed up since then. Last night he only did 4 hours. I was pretty unhappy about it. Hoping to get back to the long stretch soon!

Here are some pics for your enjoyment!

Labor Day Weekend 2013

So I just wrote 2007 instead of 2013... what??? My brain is gone. Anyway, we had a great weekend! My parents arrived late Thursday night so we hung out with them Friday and Saturday. Sunday we blessed Mason, and Monday we had a really lazy day at home. I actually can't remember anything we did that day. Oh well. Here are some pictures to show for the weekend. There will be another post with blessing pictures :)


We got my dad a baritone ukulele for his birthday!


My pretty momma!



Blaze the attention hog...


Super baby! This is the only way Mason would stop fussing for a few minutes. We had to try something else pretty quickly so Sean didn't lose his arm.


All ready to cheer on those Cougs!


Heidi is great with babies! Mason hung out with her for about an hour and did great!


I succumbed to the tired.


Carly and baby Mason (with baby O in the picture as well)



Love my sisters!

Love my cute parents and am so glad they were able to come out for Mason's blessing!
