I bought this shirt for Mason when he was only a few months old thinking that it would be really cute for him to wear once he started crawling. It says: "I make crawling look cool". Yes, the shirt is cute (and so is Mason) but he isn't interested in crawling at all! He is content to sit on the floor and play with his toys. He doesn't even roll to get anywhere. I guess we should be glad that we aren't chasing him all over the house but it does seem as though all other babies his age are crawling everywhere. My doctor has reassured me that crawling is not a milestone and that some babies never crawl. He does like to "walk" around the house with us holding him up under his armpits so maybe he will walk without ever crawling.
Mason had his first ear infection a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully he won't have another until next winter (or ever again if we are lucky!) What an experience! Thank goodness for antibiotics! The downside to all of these colds and illnesses has been Mason's lack of interest in eating or drinking very much. We go back to the doctor in two days for a "weigh-in" to see if he has put on more weight this past month (he only gained a pound in 3 months last time.) Scott and I both think that he feels heavier so our fingers are crossed. Since his ear infection cleared up he has been eating really well. I took advantage of his being sick with this last cold and ear infection to completely wean him.
He wasn't interested in nursing because he couldn't breathe through his nose so I just stopped trying to nurse him even when he got over the cold. This isn't exactly what I had planned and I think that I had a harder time than Mason did. I so miss having him snuggle up with me at the end of the day. This was the only time that he was really cuddly and we could have some quiet time together. Yes, I know that we will find new ways to cuddle at the end of the day but it is still such a hard thing to move away from. (And to think that I initially thought I wouldn't make it to 3 months!)
We are getting quite sick of winter (as I am sure everyone else is too!) We bundled up the other day for a brisk "spring" stroll in the -15 degree weather. Mason's stroller is super warm with its wind protector and he doesn't mind getting outside. On the bright side, we are getting a little extra wear out of his winter coats. Believe it or not he is still wearing 3-6 months coats!
