6 Months

I know I am always behind with my posts. We have been very busy. Trevor and I were both doing the summer semester at SUU. It just ended yesterday. Two more weeks and we are back to school for the Fall semester. Yay for a two week summer!

Anyway, on the 31st of July, Jason turned 6 months old. He is such an awesome little guy. He is rolling around everywhere. He doesn't just lay there anymore. I always have to keep an eye on him or he will get into things. He tried to put a T.V. cord in his mouth the other day. Jason can also sit up all by himself. He can sit there for a while, but eventually he loses balance and topples over. He is still growing quickly. He was weighed at the doctor's office and he is weighs 20 lbs 14 oz. He is 27.5 inches long. He is very large. Jason is such a pleasant baby. He is always smiling and giggling. He is still sleeping ALL night. It is so wonderful. I have tried feeding Jason rice cereal. He does not like it at all. He pulls the most glorious faces. Most of the pictures are of that wonderful experience. I don't have any more to add so just enjoy the pictures.

"Wow, this is disgusting!"

"No, mom, not again!"

It has been a while.

Yes, I know it has been a while since I have posted. We have been busy and out of town quite a lot. Trevor and I are both in school this summer so that is keeping us pretty busy. Jason turned five months old on June 31st. He is very close to weighing 20 lbs. and I haven't even started him on rice cereal yet. I will begin that soon. Jason has been rolling over (mostly back to front). He is such a smiley little guy. We love making him smile and giggle. Jason can now bear some weight on his legs. If he is sitting, I can gently pull on his arms and he will stand up. It is very impressive. He knows how to use those thunder thighs of his. He also likes to squeal for no apparent reason. I will include a video.

This last weekend, I went to St. George and played in a softball tournament. Trevor's wonderful mother drove all the way down from Malad to watch Jason for me. She is wonderful. It was very hard to leave him, but it was wonderful to have a couple days to myself.

He was obviously very surprised when I took this picture.

This is the squealing video

Last week, the Renaissance festival came to Cedar City. My friend Amber Rasch came along with us. We had a great time looking at (making fun of) weird people in festive costumes. The sword fighting and camel pictures are from that event. We also met a very nice costumed fellow that let us take a picture with him.

I was really hoping the camel wouldn't spit on me

The nice fellow in the costume that his sister made for him. I bet his mom drove him there.
