And it's official...

Mason is 6 weeks today! What a whirlwind these past weeks have been. I look back and think how blessed I am. Everything has gone great and with no major catastrophe's. I am so grateful that my mom was here for his birth and to help me and the kids. I am thankful that Keith was able to take some time off work and be with us. I am thankful that Jared and Brittany absolutely love Mason. I am so glad that Mason has been my best breast feeder and was a pro at 3 weeks. I am thankful for great friends that helped in more ways than I can list. So now we move on to new things. I'm still waiting for him to smile at me and mean it. He's a pretty good sleeper so I can't complain about that, but it will be nice when he sleeps through the night (I'm not expecting that yet.) I have this sling and he loves it. He gets all snuggled up in it and I love it because it allows me to do all sorts of things and still keep him happy. He is in it as I type, just snoring away. He is such a sweet baby and I already love him so very much! I look forward to getting to know his personality more.

Keith is out of town (left Monday night after family photos) and I'm doing pretty good considering. Brittany was up last night saying she was sick. I think she may have had a slight fever and I gave her some Tylenol (which she now hates.) She tells me all she needs is juice and that will make her feel better. Lucky for her she has not had a fever today yet so that is all she gets. Anyways, I ended up with Brittany on my left side and Mason on my right side last night. Somehow I managed to get some sleep. I guess when you're tired you can sleep through anything. Our family photos turned out great by the way and I am very pleased!!

One of my favorites is when we are all looking at Mason and he just happened to smile right as the girl took the picture! He is already posing for the camera. :)

I should mention this really cute thing Brittany does to me all that time. She will say, "Mommy" and when I say, "What?" She will say, "I love you." She does this constantly throughout the day and it is the sweetest. Another thing she does that is so cute is she will thank me for her food at each meal. She has such a sweet spirit and I sure do love that little girl!

I've been doing some cleaning today to prepare for my guests this week. I actually managed to get both bathrooms upstairs cleaned this morning. I'm a little shocked that Mason allowed that. I have much more to do so I better get off this computer.
