Jason at the Park

I took Jason to the park this weekend. Well actually I took him to several parks before I gave up and settled on the one in the pictures. We drove to this big park by my house but there was some kind of event going on and tons of people there. Too hectic for just the two of us! Then I drove to a little playground by my parents house hoping there was a baby swing there, but there wasn't so finally I drove to another little playground that I knew of and even though there still wasn't a baby swing we stopped to play anyway:




Lost his shoe :)



















What is this stuff??









I also got a little video of him playing in the sand. My mom's camera doesn't have sound so it's just a little clip:

Also before we went out that day I discovered that the camera took video in the first place. Here is the original video I shot :)

Happy Birthday!

Saturday was my 24th birthday. I can hardly believe that. It seems like it was just my 23rd birthday and I was anticipating the birth of Jason. Now I'm 24 and he'll be a year old in 2 months...crazy.

Anyway on Saturday I lounged around the house for part of the day and dragged Jason through Target on a shopping spree for the other half. My dad (Keven) bought me gift cards there as a birthday gift so I bought myself some new clothes for work and some underwear and stuff ;) (bet you really wanted to know that, huh dad?)

After that I went out with a friend of mine for the night. My parents agreed to watch Jason for me so I did a little partying. We went to dinner and then hopped a couple of bars...and when I say I did a little partying I mean I did a little TOO MUCH partying. I was pretty sick that night and most of Sunday as well. Yuck...lol.

On Sunday evening my parents took me to dinner at Olive Garden (YUM!). Luckily I was finally feeling like a human being again so I was able to enjoy the food. My mom and I also got our nails done on Sunday afternoon. I'm all excited cuz they make cool clacking noises on the keyboard when I type at work. Makes me sound really busy. Not that I'm not really busy anyway ;)

Thanks everyone for such an awesome birthday! :)

Maroon 5 Pics

OK I decided to post these. I took a couple of pictures of the big screen close to where I was sitting. My cell phone camera sucks and doesn't zoom very far so I couldn't take shots of the stage. Also it's blurry...









Eh you get the point ;)

Maroon 5!!

CRAP!! I just typed this whole thing about the concert and then Blogger had some stupid error and I lost it all :*( Try this again...


WAXIE Tempe Sales all chipped in a little and bought me some kick ass tickets to Maroon 5 for my birthday! I had some really great seats and a really awesome view. Plus Amanda and Chad were right in front of me, just ahead two rows.

So I just rocked out and enjoyed the heck out myself. My parents were kind enough to watch Jason for the evening so I partied a little bit ;) I didn't get home until 1am and was a little tired today trying to work after only sleeping for 4 1/2 hours. But it was totally worth it!

I tried to take some pictures with my cell phone but my camera really sucks. It doesn't zoom very far so I could take shots of the stage, I had to take pictures of the big screen. Which came out a little blurry...maybe I'll get around to downloading and posting them sometime ;)

Kisses

Jason has learned how to give kisses. He doesn't always shut his mouth and he occasionally licks you but usually when you ask him to give you a kiss he will lean in and let you kiss him.

I LOVE THIS!! He is just the cutest little thing and he gets better every day.


Some cute pics his grandma took of him recently:

He Speaks!

For the past couple of weeks Josh has been telling me that Jason says "HI!" I haven't heard him say this. Then about a week ago he said it to my mom...when I wasn't in the room!

So when Josh texted me the other day and claimed that he was saying "Ma Ma" I was a little sceptical. Then I brought him home and sure enough he says "Ma Ma Ma Ma!" And although he has a little more of a tendency to say it when he is upset, he will say it other times too. I have yet to determine whether or not he is aware that MaMa is me.

Today he also added "Ba Ba" to the mix. He said that a couple of times this evening for no apparent reason. He could either be talking about his bottle or the rubber ball we were playing with.

By the way, he loves to play with beach balls and rubber Super Balls and the noisy flashing ball that Grandpa Esper bought for him all of a sudden. He chases them all over as they roll around. And tonight while my mom and I were playing on the floor with him, he was cracking up when we bounced the Super Ball in his face. He even threw it a couple of times too, when he wasn't too busy chewing on it!
