The little one said...

Roll over! And we caught it on video. He usually just sorta falls over from tummy to back but now he has been really doing it on purpose and is working on throwing his legs over to go back the other way. He either turns his head or throws his leg but hasn't quite mastered doing both. Jason just loves to play on his mat and grab for toys. He also loves laughing at himself in the mirror and just giggles and makes funny faces. He is so cute how he frowns and gets all concerned over things one minute and then cracks up the next. He is still an incredibly happy baby and I am still incredibly lucky. Ethan dotes on him and just loves helping with anything that has to do with baby Jason and being a big brother. Plus, now that Jason is upstairs in his crib in his room next door to him, E really feels important.

I also think he is starting to teeth since the drool has been coming for the last 2 weeks and I can feel something just beneath the gum line. We shall see. E was 5 1/2 months beofre he got his first one. Mom says that whoever spots the first one has to buy the first pair of shoes. Where do they get this stuff??? :_)

So here are a few of my favorite pics from this month.....in our cool hat, prison stripe jammies and cap, and standing up. He took a lot longer than E to stand and push up but he talks so much more and his smiling and giggling came much sooner. Who can tell?




IBM Fun 5K Walk




This morning we all got up at the crack of dawn to go walk a 5k and have a little fun with our friends at work. We met Tracey and Nina at 8:15 and started our walk with kids and strollers at 9. We did the 5k in 54 minutes and then got back and had some great fun at the rec center. They did it up great for the kids with soccer kicks, fun races, bouncing houses, dragon tunnels, miniature golf and a huge slide (which Jeff and Ethan almost came down backwards). Nina and Ethan had such a great time! Ethan's favorite was the dragon and the snow cone and cotton candy. He remembers events in terms of the food eaten so I am sure this one will go down in history. I think he also loved the bus ride over to the rec center and back.
