Sitting at the grownup’s table

It’s not very often that Mommy and Daddy can sit down and have a meal together. What I mean is, even though they have meals together, it is not very often that I let both of them sit down. Usually one of them has to stand up carrying me. But sometimes I’m nice and am

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s SuperMason!!!

Because he’s there

I’m turning into quite a little climber. I heard that Daddy was also a climber when he was a baby. However, he started climbing after he could stand on his own two feet. I’m starting now, before I can even crawl. The weird thing is that I haven’t quite worked out how to use my

Mommy running out of juice

Daddy: Hey, Mason. What’s up? What are you looking at? Mason: I think Mommy is running out of juice. Daddy: No, she isn’t. I just bought a new carton. It’s in the fridge. Mason: No, I mean, I think she is really tired. You know, running on fumes, wiped out, worn out, drained,…pooped. Daddy: What

Leg lifts

I move so much when I’m in my chair that I slide down to the very edge. I don’t fall off, but I do get a good ab workout. These are some killer leg lifts.

Cushion Workout

I worked on my neck and legs today. My gym doesn’t have a lot of fancy equipment. We like to keep it raw, so I workout with a cushion. Hey, it is not as easy as it sounds. Just because the cushion is soft, it doesn’t mean it isn’t hard! I’m getting really good at

Buddha Pose

As you know, I move around so much that I end up accidentally making all kinds of poses. Daddy edits those poses to make pictures or videos. There was very little that had to be edited to make my Buddha pose. This is the teaching pose. So this is what I do right before I

Snoring

Newborn babies spend the majority of the day sleeping. I’m no exception. I’m probably asleep two-thirds of the day. That usually means that there is no crying and that means some peace and quiet in the house. Well, in my case, peace, yes; quiet, not quite. Can you blame me? I’m so comfortable in Mommy’s

Leg work

I am a very active baby. I’m almost always moving in some way or another. I’m not crawling around yet, but it is obvious that I can’t wait until I can. I am constantly exercising my legs in preparation for that day. The way I see it, after a couple more months I’ll be able

Kneeling

So, this is a new position we tried out today that was surprisingly comfortable. I’m kind of kneeling and leaning forward on a pillow. It looks a little awkward, but it felt really nice. I had a nice long (monitored) nap in that position. I’m not saying that it is going to me my favorite

Positions

I loved to be carried! If didn’t worry about Mommy and Daddy’s arms getting worn out, I would demand to be carried all the time. Okay, if I’m honest, there are days where I do demand to be carried all the time. I like it when Daddy cradles me in his arms. His forearm fits

Daddy’s days off

When Daddy is off from work, he spends every waking moment with me. He always leaps at every chance to take care of me. He changes as many diapers as he can, he bathes me, rocks me to sleep, naps with me, and does everything but breast feed me. He even encourages Mommy to leave

Rocket Man

It is tough to read newborns. We can’t really show many emotions. We can cry in frustration or anger, and maybe give a few looks of satisfaction and peacefulness, but we can’t laugh, smile, or show any sign of enjoyment. So, I’m going to forgive Mommy and Daddy for not knowing whether I am enjoying

Nighttime nursing routine

Some nights are like clockwork. I go to sleep and then I wake up 3 hours later hungry and ready to be nursed. Some nights are very peaceful and I sleep for 4 or nearly 5 hours before I wake up. Other nights I don’t ever fully go to sleep. No matter what kind of

Colicky?

“It was a rough night.” Well, you know how the day started. Let’s talk about the rest of it. Daddy went off to work with dangerously little sleep. Mommy was left alone with me, the both of us with very little sleep as well. This was not a formula for an easy day. Mommy did

Rough night

Today has been one of those days. It all started last night. For some reason, I just couldn’t get to sleep. Well, actually, I could get to sleep, but I couldn’t stay asleep. I wouldn’t let Mommy or Daddy put me down. I would barely let them sit down while carrying me. Daddy had the

Upside down neck hanging

Yes, my neck is hanging out over the edge of the sling and my head is upside down. No, it doesn’t hurt. Yes, it looks a bit weird. No, I’m not going to stop. Yes, I kind of get a head rush, which may be why I go to sleep quickly this way. No, this
