My baby turned 6 weeks on Saturday and it is a bittersweet kind of thing! Where does the time go? It has gone by WAY too fast! But on the other hand it feels like he has been with us forever. I sure love this new little guy and marvel every day at what a beautiful and GOOD baby he is! Truly he is just amazing! Such a good eater and sleeper and snuggler and patient with his older but not so old siblings! All 3 of the kids just love and adore him and want to be a part of everything with him! I LOVE this! But at the same time I really have to keep my eye on baby Mason especially with Micah who thinks it is his job to bring him to me if he is crying. Seriously this has happened and poor little Mason was scared to death I am sure being dragged by the neck by his 21 month old not so big brother. I have really been trying to keep him in safer places now.
I really believe that both God and Mason knew that I needed a good baby and so he has been a perfect little angel! He has come at time that is a bit overwhelming with all that I have going on and with 3 other young children but he has already been such a blessing and I am so grateful that God knows what I and our family needs and helps us through the whole process! I feel so blessed! I am just trying to hang on to all these precious moments that I am having with my sweet little baby and also with Josie, Hayden, and Micah. These days go by way too fast! I keep thinking how I just LOVE the stages that all of them are at and find myself wishing they would stay just like this but each stage is wonderful I suppose so I will just cherish each and every moment.
Mason is really starting to fill out and is getting some chub on him! I just love it! He is such a HAPPY baby! He started smiling at 2 weeks! And really hasn't stopped but this last week has been endless smiles at everyone. At first it was mostly just for me when I talked to him but now he smiles even when he is just sitting there. I have never had a baby so content to just sit and look around and listen to all that is going on. I have also never had a baby who will go longer than 3 hours between feedings. He doesn't do it all the time but he seems to know when I can't feed him right away and usually just waits patiently. There have also been nights when he will go 4 to 5 hours between feedings which is a first for me too! Again he doesn't do it all the time but I am thankful when he does. He LOVES the tub and bath time! Just sits there and looks so content whenever he is in there. I am so thankful for my little Mason Parker and his sweet spirit and the joy he has brought to us!
