Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

Jason had to work today, so JP thought he'd help his daddy out by taking care of the grass:

Maybe next time, we'll put him outside with a real mower!

Representin'

JP has some Southern roots, and sometimes he likes to show them:
This shirtless Redneck loves him some Corduroy:

This Time Last Year

When things get quiet...

...he's into something...

This time, it was our shoe basket.....

Sticks and Blueberries

JP loves to be outside. If you run out to get the mail, you can guarantee there will be a little blonde boy standing at the door watching your every move. He will grab his shoes and wheel his car to the front door...very subtle. He also loves to explore outside, and every time we do, he finds a souvenir. Nine times out of ten, his souvenir of choice is a stick. One time out of ten, he will chose an acorn (but those are becoming more hard to find since they have buried themselves in daddy's well-manicured, green lawn where they are sprouting into little oak trees!). We have found sticks throughout the house. Just yesterday, I found one in the bathtub!

Here's JP enjoying a snack, stick-in-hand:

Now blueberries. JP is a fruit lover - (definitely his mother's son!). The first day we gave him a blueberry, I believe he ate the entire pint. Needless to say, I've been scouring the grocery ads for sales on blueberries to keep our fridge stocked! I think the child has eaten about eight pints so far this blueberry season :)

The Boston Globe

JP has really taken an interest in the Sunday paper...

New Kicks

JP loves shoes. I've never seen a toddler (wow, is he a toddler now?!) love shoes. All I have to say is "let's put on your shoes!" and he finds them, brings them to me and sits down for me to put them on. It's the cutest thing.

We've been through a few pair already since he started walking three months ago, not because he's worn them out, but because he's GROWN OUT OF THEM!!!! The child is in a size 6!!! I haven't met anyone with a bigger-footed baby. He must get this from Pap Pap Palmer, who wears a whopping 13.5!

So, here are his new Reeboks. The best part is the laces light up when he walks...he is just too cool for school now! He will certainly be the envy of his playgroup! ;)
