sleeping baby….

(sorry for the lack of updates, I had a minor server problem)

Mason is sleeping well lately, although ONLY with us. He will sleep all day in any number of places, his pack-n-play, his co-sleeper, whatever. But as SOON as it is night time and it is time to go to sleep, Mason is NOT happy anywhere but in bed with us. He will sit in his bed and try to move around and moan and grunt until we pick him up. Then he is fine. So he has been sleeping with us. It is actually really cute. He sleeps between us and he is totally fine. No pillows, nothing underneath him. Once we put him in bed with us, he falls asleep right away and sleeps for about 4-6 hours at a stretch no problem.

He is awake and alert more and more each day, which is nice. We have started taking him for walks, and though he sleeps most of the time in the snugli, he doesn’t mind it, and it is nice for us to be out and about. Too bad it is so dark after work now. I have started working again, and that is fine, although it would be nice to be at home with Mason and Mom.

We took Mason out to lunch both Saturday to Feast and Sunday to Flying Saucer. He was fine, and slept most of the time at each in his infant carrier. He is really a pretty good little kid overall. Rarely cries.

We gave him a bath last night, figured it would be a good idea. I have no idea how often you should bathe a baby. Although he was cold, he seemed ok with the entire process.

The other interesting thing of the weekend… my mom brought over some pics of me when I was newborn, and man does Mason look exactly like me. It is really funny. I will scan some pics in and post them up for comparison.
