Double Digits

I am a few weeks behind posting Mason's weekly pictures. He's had lots of dr. appointments these past couple weeks, but he finally gained some weight so things are starting to calm down. As of June 28th he weighed 11 lb 1 oz! He gained 9 ounces in a week.

I can't believe how fast time is going by! He's already in the double digits!  Both backgrounds for these pictures are actually shirts that belonged to Mason's great grandpa. When Marley was a year old I used one of his shirts and made it into a dress. I had a few others still so I decided with Mason turning 10 weeks old the week before Father's day, and 11 weeks old the week before his great grandpa's birthday I would use the shirts as the background.  So without further ado...

Nine Weeks Old

Eight Weeks

Seven Weeks Old

Six weeks and smiles

Mason is six weeks old now.  He's been smiling a lot lately. And I actually caught it on camera this week!

That little red bird toy is pretty funny 

Five Weeks

One Month Old!

Last Saturday Mason turned one month old! Today was his doctor appointment.  He weighs 10 lbs 1.5 oz (down from 10lbs 5 oz)  He's 23 inches long (he's grown an inch) and his head is 16 inches around (grown 2 inches!) He's in the 90th percentile for height and head size, and 50th for weight.  His doctor mentioned that he should be back to his birth weight so she gave a prescription for vitamins and he has to go back in two weeks.  When he was in the NICU they checked his hearing and he failed on his left ear so we have to make an appointment to get that double checked sometime soon.  Lately he's been sleeping for 6-7 hours at night which is awesome!  He drinks 3 ounces of breast milk every 3-4 hours. Overall he's a great little guy!

Marley hasn't been to the doctor in a long time, so she also got a check-up.  She's average for height and weight at 39 lbs and 39 3/4 inches tall.  She also had to get FOUR SHOTS!! She was crying as soon as I told her she had to get shots.  She said she never wants to go to the doctor again! Poor thing. She did great but screamed and cried until we left the office.  We stopped for ice cream on the way home because I felt bad for her.  She's still being a great helper and actually wanted to change a diaper the other day!

(In other news I only have 10lbs to lose until I am back down to my pre-pregnancy weight!)

Marley (4 yrs) & Mason (1 month old)

Four Weeks Old

Mason is four weeks old today. He weighs 11 lbs. He's a good baby and last night he slept for almost 7 hours straight! Today he also went to his first yard sale! Of course he slept the whole time though.

Little skinny legs! 

3 weeks old

Getting upset.

Two weeks old

Mason is two weeks old today.  He's still doing good and is a great little sleeper. Marley is being a good helper and usually asks to help feed him and hold him.  She doesn't like it when he cries though.

Cheese! 

Marley is 4 years and one month old. Mason is two weeks old. 

One week old

Mason was finally released from the NICU on April 12th.  Since he's been home things have been going good. He sleeps about 4-5 hours at a time at night, and naps throughout the day. Here's his one week pictures.

It's not the best picture because I don't have batteries for my camera =(
