5 Months!

Wow, cannot believe little Mason is already 5 months. He has turned out to be the best little baby! I wasn't so sure during his first few months and kept thinking what in the world did we get ourselves into? :) But now he is super laid-back and so fun! Jake calls this period of time the 'golden age' because he's such a happy baby, but we haven't gotten around to teething yet and he still stays in pretty much the same spot where we left him. 2 things about Mr. Mason that are still hard are that he won't take a nap unless he's in his crib (or in the car) which makes it hard to do things out of the house (takes 3 naps a day) and he won't take a bottle unless it's warm (again, making it hard if we're out). He's the sweetest little addition to our family. I love watching Ethan interact with him and can't wait until they can play together.

This month, our little man:
-is wearing size 3 diapers

-has a consistent nighttime routine now-yay! He goes down right at 7 and wakes up to nurse around 5:30, then sleeps until 7:30. :) No more random nighttime waking!!

-wears mostly 6 month clothes, and some 6-12 mos.

-can roll both ways now and is starting to scoot. I even found him up on his knees the other day

-loves to eat his hands

-never spits up! I've only seen him do this like twice ever-it's crazy!

-HATES rice cereal and even gags. :( Can't wait to eat baby food soon!
