Summer

Jason is enjoying his first big boy summer so far. We kicked off Memorial Day weekend with a brunch with Aunt Val and Uncle Mike, then had a nice little cookout. 

Jason ate baked beans (beans are one of his favorite foods), chips, corn, chopped up hot dog, and a little bit of pie.

Stuffed.

Jason also went strawberry picking with Mommy and Daddy. We went to Fishkill Farms.

He loves wearing his little sun hat.

Ready to pick!

Jason enjoyed wandering around the patch, but he left the actual picking to us.

We took a quick look at the chickens. Jason was unimpressed.

I love this picture! Although there were several pictures taken of Jason and Mommy, Jason's developing little brother has rendered Mommy the size of a house, and she will not be posting them!

It was hot and humid, so we took a break  for hydration purposes. Jason also shared dulce de leche ice cream with Mommy and Daddy. 

And where are the bushels of fresh strawberries we went home with?

Ta da! This small bowl of berries cost us sixteen damn dollars, and Jason doesn't even like them. 

In other news, Jason has spent the past week getting over some fever/runny nose/loose cough nonsense. He also has become a somewhat picky eater, although I'm hoping that's due to his illness. If we let him, he'd exist on a diet of apples, bananas, peas, and peanut butter. Apples are definitely his favorite food, and his favorite word to say. He's not much of a talker, but he calls me "Emmy" for Mommy, and he calls Dave "Gaggy" for Daddy. He can also say Apple, owl, and egg. He can point to most of his body parts when we ask him

to. The cutest is when we ask him where his belly button is, and he pulls up his shirt to point it out!

Today Jason will be doing some shoe shopping when he wakes up from his morning nap.
