Home with Mommy

Chris went back to work today, starting a new job as a developer for a small company called Airwatch. Although I'm a little bummed to not have an extra set of hands during the day, I'm very excited for him and hope he enjoys it! This is the first week that I'm all alone with my sweet Mason. How's it going so far? Well, I'm able to update the blog, so it must be going OK (that is, as long as he stays entertained in his bouncy seat :-).

Mason is thriving at home and continues to be a pretty good baby. He's at the stage where he wants to be held all the time, so that limits what I can get done during the day. Now I understand the need for that silly looking baby carrier! He weighed a healthy 8lbs, 8oz at the doctor last week and was given a clean bill of health by the GI specialist. Looking at him now, you would never know he was that tiny baby in the NICU less than 3 months ago. We had his newborn pictures last week and I haven't seen the proofs yet, but we got a preview on the photographer's blog (see the pictures here). Alisha was great with him and I can't wait to see the rest!

Nana and Grandpa came to visit last week. Here is Grandpa holding Mason for the first time. It was nice to have them here and they even babysat so mom and dad could have a date night!

We tried out his bumbo seat for the first time and he really liked it! He doesn't have the best neck control yet, so he has to be closely supervised
This is the funniest picture - I found Mason and daddy napping on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
