Jason

Jason is quick to greet you with a smile and is very quick to laugh. He thinks we're very funny people. Funny faces, funny voices, playing hide-n-seek or peek-a-boo - all are tremendous fun to Jason.  He is developing his sense of independence and is always trying to walk. He plays possum for example when you check on him at naptime. He'll be awake and playing in his crib but if you poke your head into his room and look at him, he'll lie down quickly and close his eyes. 

If you are holding him, he'll lie still and close his eyes. If you stop rocking or stand up to put him in his crib, his eyes fly open.  

Jason is very patient especially with his brother. There are times when he isn't. The other night, Kevin was taking his time reading Goodnight Moon and was waiting on turning the page and Jason reached over and flipped the page.
