...Because Jason is on the loose!
We, as the very proud parents of Mr. Jason, are pleased to share a special day with you - Jason crawled for the first time today!
He has been rocking back and forth for a couple of weeks, but never quite figured out what to do with himself after that. But today, he had an epiphany and put one hand forward - a leg forward followed and within a matter of seconds he was on the other side of the couch!
I captured this special occasion with the following video:
Now what am I going to do with all the stuff in this house??

We loved NOLA! We love DayCare less...
We had so much fun in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago! We even got to stop and see Jason's Great-Grandmother in Lafayette on the way. She says Jason is a "fat little bugger". I have to agree, but he is adorable! However, Liz (who saw him on Saturday) says that he has actually grown since two weeks ago, so his fat is redistributing already :)
Microsoft's WPC conference was a lot of fun, especially the closing party JazzFest. I learned a lot about stuff related to my job and how I will be expanding into new areas. The Convention Center was a great venue except it took *forever* to get from one side to the other. My feet really hurt by the end of the week.
Alberto and I went to Mulate's and Harrah's the Sunday before the conference and then went home to a fabulous dinner at Stephanie's house that night. It was a whole family dinner too, with 2 of 3 of Steph's kids joining us, along with their significant others. I also found out my oldest nephew is engaged! Congratulations Travis and Andrea!
Jason had a fabulous time with his Aunt Stephanie all week. She made some homemade toys for him (which he has been unable to part with to this day), and they had a great time playing together. She was determined to get him crawling by the time we went home - he didn't make it, but he has made leaps and bounds toward the goal! Now he rolls himself right up onto all fours and then just rocks back and forth - a lot - hoping to get somewhere. When he does move, it's in reverse, so he's going to have to work on that! :)
When we got back from New Orleans, Jason's Tia Meyda came for a visit for a few days. Once again, our house was transformed into a homestyle Mexican restaurant, with tons of different meals coming out of the kitchen, courtesy of Meyda's delicious cooking. MMM-MMM it was fabulous!
DayCare hasn't been so fun - Jason got sick the first day he was there, and after having a runny nose for a week it has now transformed into a full blown ear infection - in BOTH ears! Our poor little boy is having a lot of trouble swallowing and breathing through his nose, which just makes life tough for a kid his age. We've been trying to give him extra love and snuggles to make him feel better.
Jason still cries every day when I leave him at DayCare - I am hoping this will taper off in the next few days, as he starts to realize all the fun things he can do there. Every day they do story time, singing time, rhyme time, and they'll also do other fun activities like finger painting and playing with water and bubbles.
Summer here is Houston is as hot as ever, and we are spending 99% of our time indoors and out of the vicious heat. Can't wait for fall!

Whew, what a month!
Today, Jason is 7 months old! He is such a big boy now - at his 6 month checkup a few weeks ago he measured 27 inches and 19 1/2 pounds. His hair is getting really long, and he now has both bottom teeth sprouting up fast.We have had a fabulous month since his 6 month birthday!
Jason got to play in his cool new splish splash pool with his buddies Dylan and Sasha -
On Father's Day Jason gave Alberto a cool personalized coffee mug with their photo on it, then we took some photos of our own!
After that, he got to be a model in a fashion show for Sama Baby luxury organic clothes (http://www.samababy.com/)
And finally, we got to spend the 4th of July at Mickey and Donna's house, where we got to swim and see horses! The water was dreamy and warm, having been baking in the sun during our heat wave. Jason loved it!
We are also starting to get summer rains here. I love a good Texas rain shower. I have started to take Jason out onto the porch with me every time it rains so he'll like it too. He reaches his hand out to touch the water falling from above, then peers down below to see it collecting in puddles on the ground.
We took a small video to show you how much he likes it -
Tomorrow we go to New Orleans for a week to see Steph and the family. I will also be attending Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference while there. It's going to be busy!
