Mason is a night owl who loves staying up late- typically he doesn't go to bed before 11pm. It's terribly difficult to get upset though as he's ridiculously happy and wiggly at this hour. I filmed one of our "games" the other night when he was refusing to settle down for bedtime. He likes the Bzzzzing!
Mommy Tricks I've Learned to Keep Mason Happy:
- Sometimes when I can tell he's getting a little fussy, I'll "buzz" him and he grins really big and forgets he was about to fuss.
- I'll razz his tummy and speak in a high-pitched voice and it tickles him. I keep waiting for him to giggle. One day...
- When I'm getting ready in the mornings, I usually place him on a towel on the counter next to me (don't worry, he's right in front of me!) and if he gets really upset, I turn the blow dryer on and he stops immediately. Same thing with the vacuum. By the way, my house is still clean...even with an infant; although I'll see how long that lasts once he becomes mobile.
- And when it's time for me to get chores done around the house or if I have to go to a store, the trusy Peanut Shell sling carrier will calm him down. He's now big enough to face outwards and he really enjoyed this the other night at Hobby Lobby.
- But what Mason really likes is to be kept moving. It's my own fault for getting him used to the rocking motion in utero (running while preggers)

How sweet! I love his little smiles!
Colton will usually calm down if I getting him moving too. I think all babies are like that.
