He Waves!

Jason's newest trick is waving...at everyone and everything. The past couple of days when I picked him up from his dad's house, he started waving bye to everyone before I even told him it was time to go home! I don't know if it's just because he likes to wave or because he realizes that I'm going to take him bye bye. His dad mentioned that he will wave at you when you come into a room and often will wave to you when it looks like you're going to leave as well.

He also waves at himself in the mirror, waves at stars and airplanes, the faucet in the bathtub, the ceiling fan, etc.

Other noteable things:

He gives hugs and kisses, although the kisses involve attempting to bite your bottom lip and then pull it off. Hugs are better, they come complete with grunts of effort :)

His top two teeth are coming in! He's going to look adorable with four front teeth.

He learned to climb the stairs recently so we had to install baby gates at the top and bottom of the steps. He stands and rattles them like prison bars.

He also has learned the art of pretending to choke. He makes gagging noises and when you look at him he smiles and laughs. Not funny little booger!

Jason at the Zoo

Last weekend Jason and I went to the zoo with a very special friend of mine. This isn't the first time we've taken him there but it was the first time he was really awake and paying attention.
The Phoenix Zoo just recently opened a new water play area for the kids in September. We decided to take Jason there to check it out before the weather got too cold. He enjoyed crawling around and playing in the water. Then we took him over to the children's area so he could go into the petting zoo and see the goats. Here's some shots of Jason enjoying the animals:





I really did try to keep him from pulling hair and poking eyes...
Then we took him over near that Spider Web climing thing so he could play around in the sand. He had fun watching the other little kids play as well as staring at other babies:

My Week

I don't really have a whole lot to blog about this week so I thought I would just write down a bunch of random events...hope that's amusing to someone:

- I had a really crappy week at work.

- One of my sales reps was mean and made me cry :(

- Did I mention the week was crappy?? On top of the crying thing, several people in the sales dept. have taken interest in me and a friend I have at work...and think it's their business to tell me whether or not we can eat lunch together.

- I spent a bunch of time cleaning up crap and messes I didn't make because we are having a big Groundbreaking event on Monday and the owner of the company and all sorts of other important people are showing up.

- The sales office hasn't looked so pretty and clean in the entire 2 1/2 years I've been working there.

- My review is coming up soon and I think I deserve a raise. I don't think they think I deserve one and I'm afraid I won't get one.

- I went to the company picnic on Saturday and I was really bored. There is nothing for me to do with an 11 month old at a place like that. We talked to people and played in the grass. It rained a little.

- I'm done talking about work now...

- Jason is totally into sticking his tounge out. He can also twist his tounge up and he sticks it out at me all twisted. I can't do that...I'm jealous ;)

- Jason also farted in the bathtub last night and scared himself. I laughed so hard I almost fell into the tub. Jason laughed as well...apparently it's funny when mommy laughs so hard she snorts!

- My weekend has been much better than my week. I'm thankful for quality time with my son and others...

- I washed my car today. Go me! I haven't done that in...3 months? Despite the horrible damage to the side, my car actually looks really nice when its all clean. Just stand on the driver's side and you'll think so too ;)

*AHHH* Done venting. Need a shower now, I got all stinky washing that car...lol ;)
