Mr. Independent

Last week we went to the beach to get away from the heat in Corvallis. We spent a couple hours at the Aquarium in Newport before heading over to the beach. Jason was intent on pushing his stroller instead of sitting in it. Why would a big kid like him need to sit in a stroller anyways? He had better things to do. So to keep the peace we let him lead the way for part of the time, pushing his stroller as he went. When we use to go to the park Jason would run a long ways away, but he would always turn around and wave and run back to me. I guess he is over that phase now, because when we went to the beach we had to chase after him. When he ran he never looked back to see if we were following, I guess he had very important things to do. After he is done running and exploring though he demands our undivided attention.

Father and Son

I love to watch Jason wear his dad's shoes around the house. He likes to be grown up. He also already knows his dad's toys are the coolest toys (computer's, cell phones, and any electronic device). Brad plays the guitar for us and Jason either stands next to him and strums with him, dances, or walks in endless circles around him. Brad throws Jason up on his shoulders when we go places together and Jason seems to like the better view.

Birthday Boy!

Taking a Break

As of today, Jason can crawl! A few hours ago he went forward for the first time instead of backwards. As you can see from the pictures he has put a lot of effort into this. He has to lay his sweet little head down and take a break once in a while. I'm sure he wishes he could take a break from teething as well, but no such luck.

Just Hanging Out

Brad and Jason are just hanging out watching Fox news together in this picture. Amazing, my child already likes the news. Lately, we've found that he also likes dancing with us to You Tube music videos. When me and Jason need something to do while we are at home we just rock out to music. I can dance with him and sing at the top of my lungs and he has no idea I'm making a complete fool of myself. It is great. Sometimes he even thinks I am funny and will clap for me. I can't help but love that. As much as he likes the music, he likes getting out and seeing the world even more. Whoever invented the stroller was a genius.
