There is a lot going on when I sleep. For one thing, I’m growing. Along with eating, which I do very well, sleeping helps me grow into big boy. I don’t always sleep well, but I am growing regardless. But besides that, I’m actually quite a busy sleeper. There are all sort of things that
I’m still not getting any traction from my feet when I do tummy time. My legs are gearing to go, but I’m not getting anywhere. You might point out that my arms aren’t doing anything. You might also feel the need to mention that tummy time is not time for me to do what looks
It seems like I like more space above my head when I sleep. I often shimmy down in my crib and chair to make some space above my head. I don’t think I’m claustrophobic or anything. I just like more space above me. You may recall that I did the same thing in the baby
Today I helped Daddy get ready for work. Mommy was up with me a bunch last night, so Daddy took care of me as he got ready for work. I helped him by making his day so much brighter by being such a good boy early in the morning. He usually does not enjoy waking
Mommy and Daddy have a lot of different ways to hold me. They change the way they hold me based on my moods, my needs, and their present physical ability. But even with all the different ways to hold me, we seem to have found a way that works for all of us.
I’ve got fuel, the engine is running, the wheels are turning, but I’m not moving anywhere. This is what happens when all you have is two-wheel drive. I’ve got to learn how to shift into all-wheel drive and then I’m really going places!
I am not a light baby. So Mommy and Daddy’s arms get really tired holding me for a long time. Our solution is a sling. It is a simple baby carrier for babies of all ages. I think most babies like to be tucked completely into the sling in a little bundle, but I like
Whenever I am put on my tummy, I try to lift my head up. There is so much more to see in the world when I lift my head up and look around. It is much easier to do that when I am on Mommy or Daddy’s chest than when on the floor. But at
Sometimes when Daddy holds me, he sits me up at a more upright angle. Since I can’t quite hold up my head, I kind of get scrunched down. Mommy says I look like a little king in his thrown. “King Mason”…I like the sound of that. It does make sense. I do rule over this
Sometimes when I’m sleeping, if you look at me from the right angle, it looks as if I’m smiling. Maybe I am. I definitely am comfortable and happy. It’s not a full blown smile yet, but it’s getting there.
I started to find my hand a lot, usually when I’m hungry. I find it, put it in my mouth, and start chewing on it. I don’t really suck on it like some babies do. After chewing on it for a bit and realizing it isn’t food I let it go free to flail about
There is so much going on in my young life that I have take some time to process everything. This is my deep thinking time.
I feel like I’m growing a lot every day. We don’t have a baby scale, but it looks like I gained about a pound of weight. But if you look at me, you can see that it’s not fat. We all think that I’m gaining size and muscle. Except for a slight double chin, I’m
Since I am a good eater, I cam getting heavier and heavier by the day. It is getting more difficult for Mommy and Daddy to carry me for long periods of time. Since I can’t quite hold up my neck yet, that means a lot types of baby carriers are not options. But a sling
When Daddy is at work, I keep Mommy very busy. She has to feed me, change me, soothe me, bathe me, put me to sleep, and just keep me happy in every way possible. The only time she has to herself is when I am peacefully asleep. But often, even then, she cannot use that
I can be a squirmy little baby sometimes. I move my arms, twist my body, and kick out my legs in a weird squirmy rhythmic way. Mommy commented that it looked like I was hula dancing. Daddy added some music to a video that Mommy took and sure enough it kind of looks like some
Most of my time during the day is spent sleeping. Depending on the day, a lot of my time awake can be spent crying. It is a very calming and relaxing moment in time when I am awake and not crying. It is an extra bonus when I can be put down on my mat
