Mason is 4 Months Old!

 

Our Mason boy is 4 months old. He is so much fun and such a little ray of sunshine. He's just the sweetest little guy.

Eating:
Every 3-4 hours. Still mostly breastfeeding. Just getting his bedtime bottle of breast milk from Daddy when Mommy goes to work twice a week. He is so fast now. One day he just started eating in half the time he used to. From 20 minutes to 10 minutes! It was hard to tell if he was done or just distracted (which is a frequent occurrence these days!). But he will not try to nurse if he's not hungry.

Sleeping:
Napping pretty great most days! Naps range from 1-2 hours. Usually one long nap and 3 shorter naps throughout the day. He is still sleeping through the night. He goes to sleep around 8:30 PM and wakes up around 8 AM. He is now sleeping unswaddled. We took one arm out at 3 months and took the other arm out about 2 weeks later when he seemed ready. He no longer sleeps with a pacifier either! (He just spits it out. He found his thumb and prefers that!) He can sleep anywhere. He does best with his white noise playing.

Growing:
Size 2 diapers. Out of most of the 0-3 month & 3 month clothes. He is long! At least it appears that way. We get comments about how tall/long he looks all the time. (His 4 month checkup isn't until the 24th, so 3 weeks after he turns 4 months, but we will have measurements then!)

Likes:
Gym time, tummy time, hiking, daddy's raspberry noise, grabbing hands & burp cloths, splashing in the bath, sitting & standing (with assistance), riding face out in the carrier, nursing and rolling.

Mason can now roll to either side from his back. He is SO close to his tummy. Any day now. He is babbling so much more and imitating sounds. Who knew having a baby would be so much fun!?

 

His pout is to-die-for! He has been this good since birth. It'll melt and break your heart all at once.

He went to Donut Falls and Cecret Lake and was such a trooper for both.  He LOVES being outside.

We love this little boy more and more each day!
