Weekend at Home

This weekend the family stayed mostly at home with a few trips out.

On Friday night, we went to the White Plains Burlington Coat Factory to buy Jason a new stroller. The new stroller lets him sit up, is lighter, and folds up smaller. At night we watched the South Park movie. It wasn’t that great.

Saturday, we had a quick trip to Target. The store was surprisingly crowded, in fact, there were no shopping carriages available. Was the shopping spree in anticipation of the hurricane or did the recession end on Friday? At night we watched the new Die Hard movie. It was incredible!

Sunday, we had a visit from Grandparents Mila and Bill. We had a nice walk and dinner together. Jason had a wonderful time!

In other news Jason now has two bottom teeth showing and we think he has been saying “Mom”!

Jason’s Newest Trick

This week Jason discovered a new trick.

He supports himself on his hands and knees, rocks back and forth, and then tries to leap forward. He seems to prefer this new style of leaping to his old style of crawling.

Here’s a video of Jason leaping around his crib.

Jason on the Playground

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!

Jason Eating and First Tooth!

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.

Another Jason Video

We’re still having some fun with making videos of Jason. Here’s the happy little boy!

Jason Crawling

Jason is almost five months old and has started to make his first efforts at crawling. Here’s the video.

Good Morning Jason!

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!”

Jason Goes to Target

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!

Muscoot Farm

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.

Photos at Babies R Us

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!
