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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
“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
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
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
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
