This post is not exactly showing off my best parenting, but it's a part of Mason's life I feel the need to document. Mason has always been a good sleeper at night, but just cat naps during the day taking 20-30 minute naps. Until we discovered a new place for Mason to take his naps. A place where he magically sleeps better and longer. We just lay him down and he doesn't stir or make a peep for hours. The only problem is, it's not exactly approved by the American Pediatric Association or whoever makes all the safe sleeping rules. This new place is our Love Sac. It all started when Scott and I realized that the Love Sac provided a comfortable resting place for us to snuggle up with Mason.
At some point, one of us got up and left Mason sleeping comfortably on the Love Sac and watched him while he took the longest and best nap he had ever had. Now, even though we know it is frowned upon, we are all hooked. In our defense we are always within a few feet of him (one benefit of a small apartment) as we sit at the table or on the couch doing homework and such. He doesn't take all of his naps there, just when we need him to nap for a guaranteed chunk of time so we can get something done. We absolutely never let him sleep there at night or when we are not there to monitor him. We know we will have to end this practice as soon as he starts rolling or becoming more mobile, but for the time being, it works for us, and so we are enjoying his wonderful love sac naps. Please don't judge us. Just look enjoy looking at the peacefully sleeping baby like we do.
Mason has never been timid about eating. The kid will take whatever I have to give him and believe me when I say, it's a lot. Proof of his eating habits lies in the rolls from his cheeks to his toes. My favorite thing is his popeye arms that get smaller at the elbow and the wrist and bulge in between. He has some serious cankles and I have to watch his circulation carefully when he has socks on. What can I say, the kid is a tank! At his two month check up Mason weighed in at 13 lbs 15 oz (94%) and 24.6 inches (95%), making him the size of all the 6 month old babies around us. No one believes his age when I tell them because not only is he to size of a 6 month old, but he acts like one too. He is so alert and very strong. He prefers to be carried on my hip, facing out so he can look around, which I've been told most 2 month old babies don't do yet. All I have to say is a chubby baby is a happy baby which makes for one very happy mama.
