6 months with Jase

Dear Jase,

Ok I don't mean to be confrontational but I have a bone to pick with you. It's the middle of the month and I still haven't received your rent check. Come to think of it... you're past due on the last 6 months... if it makes it easier, you can PayPal it to me.

Back-rent aside, here's what you've been up to this month:

• You are obsessed with your feet. Any chance you get you are showing them off... live it up now bud. When you're a baby it's cute... as an adult, you get security called on you.
• You have total street cred as the "chill baby" at daycare. I'm pretty sure this means you get extra tummy time... keep it up.
• You can: babble, rock side to side, find your paci, sit up without support for a few minutes, splash, and mimic sounds, and you more recently learned how to turn on your "aquarium"
• You love: snapping, fruit (veggies are definitely not your thing), the nasal aspirator, having your face wiped, singing songs, daddy's beard, having your tummy blown on, Disney movies, your activity chair, and having your diaper changed (aka a chance to hose us down...)

This month's round of opportunity to send you to therapy:

• We keep trying to get you to eat vegetables. Your enthusiastic disapproval is astounding.
• We have a pretty strong improv blanket situation...

Now for our therapy:

• You. Are. An. Evil. Genius. You successfully lured me into thinking you were going to rock this sleep through the night gig... and then you pulled the plug. I now get woken up about 3 times during the night but on the flip side - you have two teeth.
• Now that you're eating solids... Every time I walk down the hall to go change your diaper I wonder if that's how Marie Antoinette felt making her way to the guillotine...
• Being displeased with the amount of time it took to get home, I'm pretty sure you scared the CVS drive thru pharmacist into a childless existence 
• In the same trip, you broke my car's Bluetooth by screaming on cue during the voice command. Pretty sure no one in my phone book goes by "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

You've done a lot of growing up this month. Sometimes when we look at you, we see a glimpse of the little boy you're going to be. We're not ready for it... but if you'd go back to sleeping through the night you'd be doing us a major solid.

xoxo,

Mommy and Daddy
