Core workout

Just because I’m a baby, it doesn’t mean I get to be lazy and lie around doing nothing. I have to workout to stay in shape. Tummy time helps me strengthen my neck, but it also helps me with my core as well. Often, when people think of core muscles, they only think of abs, […]

Held vs. Put down

I think it holds true that all babies prefer to be held to being put down. We just like being in the arms of loved ones. It feels so safe, secure, and warm. When we are put down we feel lonely. It is very obvious with me too. Sometimes I am okay with being in

Comfy

Just looking at this picture makes me feel drowsy. It is so comfy to be held. It must be to be doing the holding too. I’m pretty sure that Daddy fell asleep.

Combover

Daddy is doing it again. He is using his beard to make me have a combover hair style. It still makes Mommy laugh. I still think it looks dapper!

Long neck

When I fall asleep in Mommy’s or Daddy’s arms, but head often falls back because of the weight of my head. Mommy and Daddy don’t know if they should be happy because I look so relaxed when I sleep or worried that my head my fall off. Sometimes it just hangs over their arms.

Umbilical cord stump

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Something fell off of me! I’m falling apart, and at such a young age! Aaaahh…wait a minute. What is that? A raisin? Oh, no it’s not a raisin. It’s my umbilical cord stump. It dried and fell off. Yay? I guess this is something to celebrate. The hospital even gave me a commemorative case

Still a little baby boy

I was born a big baby and I feel like I’m growing a lot every day, but I’m still a little baby boy. I look and feel very small sometimes when I rest on Daddy’s chest. It’s hard to believe that one day I may grow to be taller than him.

Nap time?

There once was a time where I slept nearly the entire day. I would usually take a nap after every feeding. But recently I have been awake and alert more often, even after feeding. If I’m not crying and fussy, Mommy and Daddy are happy to have me awake so they can talk and interact

Sleep rolling

You already saw how close I am getting to rolling over. I’m getting to the point where I can almost do it in my sleep.

My first music video

Now that I am two weeks old, I’ve been wondering what I’ve been doing with my life. So I decided to make a career change. I am going to dabble in music. Daddy helped me make my first music video. It’s a cover of an oldie but goodie. It’s short, but I hope you like

Moro Reflex

As you know, I am full of surprises, even in my sleep. I have been surprising Mommy and Daddy a lot with my Moro reflexes. It is an infantile startle reflex where a baby shoots his hands out in the air. It usually happens when the baby is startled by something, usually a noise. I

Tummy Time

When FaceTiming with Grandma and Grandpa today, we decided that it was time for me to start having more tummy time. I’ve had tummy time on Daddy’s tummy before, but haven’t really started tummy time on my own on the floor. So we gave it a shot. Utter and complete paralysis. I surprised us all.

Napoleon

Daddy: Hey, Mason, do your impression of Napoleon. Mason: Nailed it! Daddy: Nice!

Velociraptor

Daddy: Hey, Mason, do an impression of a velociraptor. Mason: Nailed it! Daddy: Nice!

Happy sleeper

I have always been very expressive. You should see the variety of faces I make. Most of them are a mix of comfortable, sad, and angry. I don’t really smile yet. At least I didn’t until today. I had this big smile on my face while I slept. I just have to figure out how

Antenna

As you know, I was born with a full head of hair. It is very thick and smooth, but it can be unruly sometimes. Today, I suddenly developed an antenna. I don’t know how or why, but it just popped up on my head. No, Mommy and Daddy did NOT put any product in my

Slippery chair

I move so much in my sleep that I end up slipping down in my chair. You may recall that this happened to me at the hospital too. What’s supposed to be a very big chair ends up becoming very cramped for me.
