Shout-Out, don't you love Mason's shirt?

Goodbye Bee

Goodbye bassinet...
Goodbye bee..

HELLO CRIB!
Initially, Mason was sad and missed his crib. But, he pulled through and is sleeping in his crib like a champ. It only took us a week. I think it was harder on me that it was on him. This past weekend Tom packed up the crib, taped the box shut and put it on a shelf waaaaay up high so in desperation I wouldn't be able to get it down.
Watch out Mason, your Dad is going to be the tough one. When you want to go out for ice cream don't ask your Dad.... When you want to stay out late, don't ask your Dad... There is a new sheriff in town buddy and it ain't your mama :)

Mason's Bench


We had a great Thanksgiving in Cuyama this year. Tom's dad surprised us with this amazing bench he made for us for our backyard. He did everything by hand. I named it Mason's bench!

rattle

Here are some pictures of Mason from the past two weeks.
He is almost four months, so we'll get his stats at this next appointment in mid December.
He has really started to show interests in his toys. especially his rattle. I got some good video today so hopefully I'll be able to post that soon. He's definitely a mover and a shaker!

He's a kicker

Mason loves his changing table. He could just hang out there all day, kicking, squealing, laughing. He really gets going as soon as you strip off his diaper. My dad says Mason is a nudist. I hope its too soon to tell.
But he is the happiest baby. He wakes up happy. He has been such a joy for me and I feel so lucky as a mother to have such a cute, loving, little boy. Tom and I just gobble up every moment with him. He is 13 weeks now. Time is flying by. I am trying to prepare myself daily to going back to work. I can feel the tears build up just thinking about it. Thank goodness I still have a few months to enjoy this little guy with friends and family during the holidays.
If you haven't heard my little angel is not into plastic. Or should I say synthetic nipples of any kind. Is that too graphic? Anyways, we tried to get him to take the pacifier, no luck. Although I think that is a blessing in disguise. Apparently Mason is taking the same approach with bottles. For the past month and a half Tom as has been working so diligently to try to get this kid to take a bottle. We've tried every kind of bottle, Tom has tried every feeding position, I've been out of the house, nothing, nada, no luck. It has been a father-son battle. Evidently, according to my mother, I was not a fan of the bottle either, but that's all I'm going to say on the matter. Strong will must be genetic. Up until last week Mason would tell Tom to put that bottle where the sun doesn't shine. I don't want to jinks anything but it appears Mason has given in. For the past week Tom and Mason have had their "morning time with bottle" with success! Lets just hope our luck continues...
