Home of the Whopper!
We had a difficult start to February. Jason had a fever and was not able to keep food down. This lasted for the entire week, leaving us worried and exhausted. The doctor said it was a virus.
This week Jason showed steady improvement. By the middle of the week, he was playing and laughing again. By the weekend, we were comfortable taking him out again. Here is a picture of him at Stop & Shop. It’s also the first time we put him in the carriage.
We think Jason is just about ready to walk. Right now he still holds onto our hands or the furniture to get around. Here’s a video of him making his way towards the remote controls.
It’s been a while since we’ve posted a video. Here you can see Jason standing, clapping, and dancing!
It’s been a busy few weeks for Jason and family after Christmas. The weekend after Christmas, we visited Lyndhurst Castle in New York with friends. Then, we celebrated New Year’s at a restaurant in Yonkers with Yanko and Ani. The following week we visited Jason’s Godparents for drinks and dinner. The next day we took a short trip to Philadelphia. This past weekend, we celebrated Great Grandma’s 90th birthday in Connecticut.
Jason is becoming more and more active and interested in the world around him. He enjoys meeting new children and going to new places. We think he is starting to understand things we tell him, and is making a variety of new sounds.
Here are pictures of our big boy and some of his friends.
It’s Christmas already? Time went fast as Mom wrapped hundreds of gifts and Dad launched a big new website. Jason is now up to seven teeth. He says a few discernible words, most specifically “Mom” and “Dad.” He has also been standing without holding onto anything for 10 seconds or more. He also enjoyed our first major snow of the season.
Below are some recent pictures of Jason in the snow, Jason with Dad in the snow, and Jason with Mom and her big gift. Some pictures from Christmas will be posted in the next few days!
We’ve been working on getting out Christmas picture taken as a family. Below are pictures from our “warm up attempt.” We went to Sears and enjoyed their waiting room for an hour before snapping our own pictures and going home. We will get our photos done at Kiddie Kandids tomorrow.
Note to world: Don’t go to Sears for photos.
About a week ago Jason started clapping for the first time. His Grandmother has been trying to teach him for a while and it finally paid off. Jason now claps and waves periodically throughout the day.
He’s also crawling much faster nowadays. He’s been going all over the house, but his favorite place still seems to be the kitchen.
Below are two recent pictures of Jason. In the first, he is smiling wide and showing all of his six teeth. In the second, he is showing off his clapping.
It’s been a busy past few week for Jason and family. Two weekends ago, we invited friends over and Jason made friends with their 19 month old daughter. Below you will see them playing together with the Around We Go. The following day, Mom and Dad went on a quick vacation to celebrate their Anniversary. We went to Mystic Connecticut, where it was nearly deserted. That suited us fine!
The following week was Thanksgiving. We went to the Connecticut Grandparents household to celebrate. The food was great and Jason had a fun time playing with his cousins. Below is a picture of Jason and Mom on Thanksgiving Day!
This weekend Jason had a visit from his Grandparents, who just returned from a long journey abroad. He enjoyed playing peekabo reading nursery rhymes with them. Then we went to Target which was crowded despite the Great Depression/recession/slow period.
Here is a funny Jason montage from pictures taken Friday!
This Saturday morning Jason, Mom, and Dad went to the Pallisades Mall. We showed up at Barnes and Noble just in time for a story reading. Jason listened to all of the stories with interest and made friends with some other children. After that we enjoyed lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and then did some shopping.
Sunday was a much nicer day, so we spent some time outside and went for a long walk. Below is a picture of Jason at Barnes and Noble.
