Home of the Whopper!
Jason had a fun time on the playground this Sunday with his grandparents and cousin.
The playground is a quick walk across the street. The weather was nice and Jason had his favorite hat. He always enjoys seeing new things and having fun with family. After all the fun he was ready for a nap!
This Friday we had a happy surprise. We noticed that Jason had his first tooth! It’s one of his lower front teeth.
We also recently started feeding Jason solid foods. So far he has tried rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and carrots. He seems to like the rice cereal the best and is now eating quite skillfully.
We’re still having some fun with making videos of Jason. Here’s the happy little boy!
Jason is almost five months old and has started to make his first efforts at crawling. Here’s the video.
Lately, Jason has been having more fun in his crib. He’s been rolling, pushing himself up, and attempting to crawl. We lowered the bed level since he was starting to reach up and almost touch the top railing.
Here he is peeking out to say “Good morning!”
This weekend we decided that we would do some re-arranging so Jason has more room to play and Mom and Dad have more room to walk. We took a trip to our favorite store Target. Jason seems to enjoy shopping at Target as much as we do. He usually sleeps peacefully or checks out the many wonderful items for sale at low prices. At Target, we always expect more and pay less!
We found the perfect bookcase for the living room. The price was not marked, so we decided that we would buy it as long as it was less than $100. At the check out we were pleasantly shocked to find that the bookcase was $31!
Mom and Dad assembled the bookcase, moved the existing entertainment center, and got everything plugged back into the right places. Then we relaxed by watching Planet of the Apes with Jason.
Here are some pictures of Target, the new bookcase, and Jason!
This Sunday Jason went to Muscoot Farm in Somers, NY with Mom and Dad.
We did some shopping at an outdoor farmer’s market for peppers, tomatoes, peaches, corn, and a home made chocolate torte. The vegetables were very fresh and the cake was delicious.
After shopping, we took a walk around the farm. Jason met many different animals including chickens, turkeys, goats, donkeys, horses, sheep, cows, and a dirty huge pig.
The pig said groot, groot.
Friday afternoon Jason went to Babies R Us to get photos taken. It was the first time he had professional pictures done.
As soon as we arrived Jason was smiling and ready to go. Unfortunately, we had to wait a few minutes. The picture below is one of the non-professional shots we took with our camera in the waiting room.
Once Jason sat down for the photos he experienced a little bit of stage fright, but with some playful coaxing he was smiling once again. The photographer did a great job of capturing Jason at his best. We were very pleased with the photos of our happy boy.
Grandparents look for your prints soon!
On Saturday we took a trip to Connecticut to visit Jason’s Grandparents.
After a mid-afternoon thunderstorm, we all had a delicious lunch/dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. Jason slept through the entire meal- even dessert!
Then we took a trip to Southford Falls. Jason woke up and enjoyed the park. We saw some ducks and a man got his fishing pole stuck in a tree.
To finish the day, Mr. Grandpa showed some old home videos of Young Mike receiving a special gift.
Jason showed off sitting in his bebePOD.
This weekend, we went to Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck.
On the way, we stopped at Starbucks and saw a huge Washington Mutual Bank. We lamented the recent fall of IndyMac Bank and placed odds on whether WaMu would be next.
At the park, we went for a walk, enjoyed the playground, and strategized about this website. The playground was a lot of fun and there were many other children and babies there.
All of the ice cubes in the iced coffee melted.
