Mason is 5 months old- January 5th.

On January 5th, Mason hit his 5 month mark. He is rolling over extremely fast and has started to scoot by pulling the blanket and carpet to pull himself. He also uses his head as a weight. His head will be down on the ground and he will put his little butt in the air and push with his legs to scoot. It is so funny. Poor little guys head is heavy for him so he put it down to rest...

He also loves to pull hair. My hair is basically up in a ponytail everyday because he likes to not only pull it, but eat it. I am constantly untangling Maddison's hair because as soon as she gets near him, that is the first thing he grabs.

Along with pulling hair, he also is interested  in whatever I am eating or drinking. He is quick too, so I have to watch my coffee cup. We let him try mashed potatoes, even though he is not old enough for food. He is definitely an Irish boy! Loves potatoes!

We are very blessed mason is a happy, easy going baby. He has found his little vocal box and occasionally gets loud, but it is a cute surprise when he does "talk". Otherwise he is pretty quiet and content. I can't believe how fast he is growing and developing.

Right now he is in 6 month clothing, a size 2 diaper and weighs about 14-15 lbs.  He wakes up 1-2 times in the middle of the night to eat. His hair is coming back in  but you can still find a bald spot on the back of his head. 

He has had a rash for two weeks all over his back. We put Benadryl cream all over it but at night and early in the morning it was back. I thought maybe it was the laundry detergent, so i rewashed all of his clothes in dreft. Then thought maybe a soap allergy, or reaction to eating potatoes. I was wrong.We had a nurse look at it and  It was heat rash! He slept with no shirt for two nights, and his rash was completely gone. He can no longer wear footsie pajamas because he runs too hot in those, so I just cut off the feet. His rash is gone and he is comfortable sleeping...

Our sweet boy loves to laugh, play peek a boo, and eating his toes. He just found them. Instead of sucking on his fist, he sucks on his toes. But if he has sock on, he just found his thumb as well. I make sure to take it out of his mouth as soon as he starts sucking on his thumb. That habit could lead to so many problems later.

With so much going on, 3 kids keep me busy, but enjoying every minute of it. I know they will only be small for so long and before I know it, they will be grown up :(
