Almost 4 Weeks!


So on Monday Mason will be 4 weeks old!  He is now too tall for newborn clothes and has moved on to 0-3 months!  It's a little sad.  He has his 1 month old doctors appoinment for May 5th. 

Mason is now awake more during the day.  Actually his schedule is not ideal for Mom & Dad but this is how it goes usually.  Awake from 10am-1pm then a little nap until 3:30, then time to eat then back to sleep till 10pm (we really try to keep him awake but he just won't do it!) and then awake for a few hours (while I am fighting to keep my eyes open) and then finally sleep and he wakes up usually twice in the middle of the night/early morning.  I know you can't get a newborn on a schedule but as soon as we can we are doing it.  I am trying to get him to stay awake more during the day so I can sleep at night.  Mason also had his first night away from Mom & Dad.  Last Friday we went to Tomah and I got to stay at my parents house and sleep while Mason went to Grandma Oswald's house with Dad.  Then Saturday night my Aunt, Uncle, and Grandma were visiting my parents and they wanted to visit longer with Mason so they kept him overnight in Tomah while Russel & I went back to Eau Claire to visit my cousins.  We got a solid 7 1/2 hours of sleep uninterrupted.  It was sad to be away from him but nice to get some sleep.
Here are some pictures of the little man.  They are just random but one is from his 2nd bath (the first one we did quickly so there was no time for pictures).  He is not the biggest fan of the bath yet.  And then the very last one is him today in his first 0-3 months outfit.

2 Weeks Old!

Mason is 2 weeks old and I feel like it has been the longest & shortest two weeks of my life!  His face changes every day and mostly he is a good baby.  But he is still a baby and doesn't let mommy & daddy get a whole lot of sleep.  At least not in a row.  The longest he has slept through the night is 5 hours and the least is 2 hours.  Sometimes in the middle of the night when he is done eating he thinks that it is time to be up and awake.  Lately I have been fortunate that when he is done eating I can set him back him back in his bed and he will "talk"/grunt for a few minutes and then fall back asleep.  He also likes his pacifier and as you can see by the picture below he is starting to hold it in.
