Mason: One Month

Mason turned one month on the third of this month; he went in for his check up and a shot a few days later. He weighed in at exactly 9 lbs (24%) and 21 inches (23%) with his smart brains at 36.5 cm (25%). We can conclude he is pretty normally proportioned between all three. 




Mason is such a wonderful addition to our family and loved by all, but loved the most by Calvin. Calvin definitely forces his love aggressively upon his brother, and means well. Mason is the receiver of a lot of kisses, toys, blankets, water bottles and food from Calvin. Hopefully the sharing on Calvin's end sticks around for the next 20 years.




 As a newborn he slept about 23 hours of the day, but by about 3 weeks he was staying awake for longer periods. At this point he is eating every 3 hours during the day like clock-work and will stay awake for a about an hour after he wakes up and eats. He goes down for the night at about 8 or 8:30 and wakes up at 1 and 4:30 to eat and wakes up for the day at 7.





Sadly he is out of newborn diapers, and is coming close to outgrowing all his newborn clothes, although 75% of 0-3 month clothes are still a tad too big. He has loved baths from his first bath at 6 days old (when his cord fell off!) and it's also big brothers favorite part of the day when he can help give him a bath. 


During his first month of life he celebrated his first Thanksgiving, met A LOT of fun new cousins, went on a lot of walks, went on the Christmas Express train, helped his dad study for his OB/GYN SHELF exam, helped set up Christmas and was blessed by his father. 



We are so glad you joined our family Mr. Mason Robert!
