Miss Tenley!

Tenley came to play with Mason and I one morning while daddy and Uncle Steven played some golf!  She was so funny with Mason.  I think she is ready for a baby brother!!!!

 

These two look like they could cause some trouble in the days to come!

New Puppy

Aunt Erin got Mason this puppy a while back and I just stuck it in the corner of his crib (yes I do know the recommendations), and Mason has never bothered it.  The other day I went in there after his nap because I heard him talking, and he was talking to his puppy!  He was chewing on his tail and just talking away!  Daddy says we can name him Maverick (since he DOES NOT want that as a baby name and mommy does).  I told Mason that this is the closest thing to a puupy he will ever have(daddy disagrees)

Baseball

Someone is ready to watch some baseball.......yes mommy would rather he be in a little more blue, but M doesn't have a Cubbies hat yet!

6 months old!

Its not fair, you are 6 months old already!  This time has just flown by.  I swear it was just yesterday you were 8lbs 4oz and Dr Dietrich was putting you on my chest!  Now you are 18lbs 3oz and 26inches long!!!!  You are getting soooo big!  You are eating 5 oz every 3.5-4 hours and are eating a whole stage 2 jar of baby food 3 times a day!  You have had all fruits and veggies and love them all.  We have even tried a few blends too and you like them as well. 

 

A miracle happened this month.......YOU FINALLY sleep all night!  You go to bed around 8pm and usually once in the night we have to put your pacifier back in and turn your music on, but then you sleep until 7 or 8am!  One night you rolled to your belly, and slept all night, and ever since you have done the same! 

 You are such a good baby and I can't say it enough, we are so blessed you are in our lives.  Every day we make us smile and laugh.  

 6 months.....you sure have changed  8lbs 4oz to 18lbs 3oz!

 We are using cloth diapers a little bit.  We only use them at home, and not everyday, we are slowly growing our stash of diapers.  It is a big expense in he beginning, but will save us money in the end!  Plus you look so cute with a fluffy bottom!

 These are your 6 month pictures!  You look so big in your button up shirt.  

 Check out these eyes!  Sure to melt several hearts!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

Hope Everyone has a safe and Happy St Patrick's Day!!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Little Man!

 It was so beautiful today and we played outside!  Aunt Andi got us new straps for our swing so now we can use it! 

 You got 1/2 of a cupcake for your half birthday!  At first you weren't sure what to do with it.  Mostly you crumbled it up.

 Then you got a taste...

 And it was all in your mouth after that.  I am not really sure you got much of it in your mouth, as I think more than 3/4 of the cupcake was on your bib and in your seat.

Happy 1/2 birthday Little Man, 

where did the time go?

What the What?? ( I watch too much Hoda and Kathy Lee)

Ok I really was head back to sew when I looked outside. 

 Only in MO can it be 60degrees one day and snowing the next!!!!

 

And here is the snow today!!!

Houston, We have a belly sleeper!!!!

We have been struggling with bedtime for a while now.  Mason was waking up every 2.5 to 3 hours during the night!!!  And that was to eat, let alone the times in between when we were putting the pacifier back in and turning his music on.  We have tried everything, cereal are night, up the oz in his bottles, and sometimes an extra bottle before bed.  Nothing seemed to help.  During the day he will go closer to 4 hours between bottles!!!  The other night I put him to bed on his side like always and left the room, and like always I was back in there in about 15 min putting the pacifier back in his mouth!  The usually goes on for about 30-45 min and then he stays asleep for about 2 more hours.  The last time I had popped in there to put a pacifier back in his mouth was 9:45pm.  I woke up in a panic at 1:45am because Mason hadn't woken up at all!  So I went to his room and he had rolled to his tummy and scooted to the bottom of his bed!  I wasn't going to move him, he was sleeping!  So I left him, went back to sleep and woke up again in a panic at 3:45am because he still hadn't woken up!!!!!  I checked on him and he had scooted a little bit up towards the middle of his bed but was still sleeping!  I couldn't believe it, I woke Adam up to tell him :)   As soon as I had laid back down to go to sleep, Mason woke up at 4:00am!!  Still 6 hours in a row is good for us!  I fed him put him back in bed and didn't hear a peep out of him until 7:15am the next morning, he had rolled back to his tummy again!!!  So for naps that day, I tried to just put him in bed half way asleep on his belly and he put himself to sleep and slept GREAT!!!!  Ditto for the next 2 nights.  He is inly getting up once now about 1:30 or 2:00 to eat and right bacvk to sleep!  I sure hope this keeps up!  I never thought I would be SOOO happy to see my baby sleeping on him tummy, and putting himself to sleep too!!!!!  He sure is getting big fast, doesn't seem right but he is almost 6 months!! 

Ok better get back to sewing my new projects, baby quilt for Mason and baby paper.  i will blog about those when I am done!
