Mason is 11 weeks old! Time is flying by WAY too fast. I thought it was fast with Easton, but it is way faster with baby #2. It is so bittersweet! At his 2 month pediatrician appointment he weighed 13 lbs, 3 ozs (64th percentile) and was 24 inches long (84th percentile). He got his first vaccinations and had a really hard time with them. Poor baby had a fever for 2 days and horrible stomach problems for over a week. I hate that for these babies, but I do feel that vaccinations are important in having healthy kids.
Mason is the sweetest and most laid back baby. He literally never cries unless he is over-tired or starving, and even then its not a full blown cry. He is getting the best little personality and is so different than his big brother in many ways. Although he was also very laid back and an easy baby, Easton demanded our (and everyone's) attention at all times and made sure you knew when he needed or wanted something. Mason is perfectly content just watching what is going on and taking it all in. He has the sweetest shy little smile and laugh. When he smiles, you not only see it on his face, but it shows in his sweet eyes - he literally gets a "twinkle" in his eyes. I predict that we will be my shy and more sensitive child, while Easton is the center of attention. :)
Mason started sleeping through the night at about 6 weeks from 10:30pm-5 or 6am and then eats and goes back to sleep until 8 or 9. He is exclusively on breast milk and eats 6 or 7 times per day. We do a flexible version of Babywise, so he naps for the last 1 to 1 1/2 hours of each 3 hour cycle and "Eats, plays, sleeps". Speaking of sleep, he is still in our room! I know, I know... he is 11 weeks old now and needs to be in his bed. :( I have him napping in his room and am building up the courage to move him to it at night. I don't know if it is because of our master bedroom on the main or me being overprotective because of his "condition", but I just love having him in our room. I will get there soon, I hope.
It is so touching to see the relationship that is developing already between Easton and Mason. Easton LOVES Mason and asks where he is the second he wakes up, and always wants to kiss and hug him. He loves to talk to him and is just so sweet to him. Mason has started to really pay attention to Easton and watches his every move. It makes me so emotional to see them together, and I know that will continue for the rest of my life. :) I certainly don't want Mason to grow up any faster than he already is (slow down, time!), but I do look forward to watching them grow up together and seeing their relationship in the future years. There is nothing like the love of siblings!
Thank you as always for your continued thoughts and prayers. It means so much to us to know that our baby is loved and prayed for by so many people.
