Mason - 2 Months

For goodness sakes, one of these days life will settle down enough to actually post Mason's month update when he turns that month old. But for now, we'll catch up!

Mason at two months!!

Time is sure flying! 

At his two month check up, Mason was up to 13 lbs., 4 oz. (75th percentile) and shot up to the 86th percentile for length at 24 inches long! Which explains why he's already in 6 month clothes (sob!). It seems so unfair for my sweet baby to already be in 6 month sized clothes. What in the world. 

Mason's eating and sleeping patterns are pretty much the same as at one month. At night he's sleeping about a 5 hour stretch initially (every so often he'll stretch to 6, but not frequently). Then he eats, sleeps another 3 or so hours, eats, sleeps another 2-3 hours, and is up for the day! Still eating roughly every 3 hours during the day, although he sometimes will stretch to 3 1/2. Mason still sleeps swaddled in his bed at night, and usually naps in his little lamb chair or swing.

Mason is so SMILEY! He just lights up the room with he sweet little toothless grin. I say he reminds me of a cartoon character smile, because he has these adorable lines that form on the sides of his mouth to complete his smile - I just love it! And he's not stingy with the smiles either - as long as he's not tired or hungry, he'll give a big grin to anyone who smiles and talks to him.

You can tell by all the smiles that he's overall just a really good natured baby. He's pretty chill, doesn't get upset about things easily, and is just pretty content with life! He's starting to enjoy laying on his jungle play mat a little bit. His favorite thing is to look at himself in the mirror on the bottom of his swing or on the playmat. Can't blame him for wanting to stare at his own sweet face :)

He's also super super STRONG still! He holds his head up pretty much all the time when you're holding him up on your shoulder, unless he's sleeping. He can stand on your lap and just needs help with balance, and he can push his chest up off the floor during tummy time. 

Layla and Mason currently love each other a lot - she loves to hold him and talk to him, which consists of her squeaking "Hi Mason, Hi Mason, how you doing today?" in the highest pitched squeaky voice you can imagine. Good thing he loves her right back!

Fun things from month 2:

 We went to a Royals baseball game with Kyle's family, and also my sister and her family! It was fun and Mason did really well!

Getting kisses from cousin Katelyn

 We went to our annual staff training conference in Oklahoma. Which meant Mason spent a lot of time napping in his carseat in the stroller during meetings, which maybe wasn't a ton of fun for him...

 We got to spend a week at Grandpa & Grandma's house while Dad was in Texas for a conference and a wedding!

 Speaking of weddings, our India teammates Chase and Laura got married! It was beautiful. Landon and Layla were the ring bearer and flower girl, so thankfully Grandma came along to keep an eye on Mason. :)

 Mason celebrated his first Easter! What a stud.

Happy Two Months, precious boy, even if it is a couple of weeks late!
