13 Months

It's been too long...I know. People weren't lying. Once your kiddo turns one they are a handful! Jonah has so much personality! He laughs and talks all the time and throws the occasional fit. He is definately testing his boundaries with us. At his 1year check-up he weighed 25lbs! He is in the 90% for weight and was in the 80% for height. He is a big boy!!

Jonah turned 1year on Oct.12th. He had a great bday party! We had a ton of family there and ate monkey cupcakes and pizza. Jonah had so much fun playing with his cousins in the backyard then eating his very own cake.

Our little man took his first steps on my bday (Oct.27th) and has been walking all over the place since! He is such a big boy now and a pro at drinking out of a sippy cup! It's so awesome to see him learning things that we do without thinking.

There are a ton of pics!! I may have put too many up but I don't care. It was too hard to choose which ones to put on here so I narrowed it down the million I have below. Enjoy!


Jonah's Birthday Party!!!



He wasn't really sure what to do at first.



He got the hang of it pretty quick.

And cousin Brooklyn too!



He played the piano for us.


But needed a little help turning the pages.

Month 11

Jonah will be a year old next month!! It's crazy that it's already been that long! He has changed so much! He is such a boy! Always dirty. Even after a bath. I don't know how he does it. After wiping his face he will find something to yuck it up again. He eats mostly solid-ish food and formula. He loves pears. He also really likes yogurt, carrots, crackers, green beans, and anything Aunt Michelle feeds him because it's usually something like pie, or ice cream.

He now has 3 teeth with the 4th on it's way. Teething has been rough. He doesn't sleep or eat much when it's really hurting him, but as soon as it breaks through his gums he is back to his normal happy self.

At the end of Aug/beginning of Sept we drove to Newport, Oregon for the Dokken Family vacation. We had such a great time. Jonah did fantastic on the way there and back. He slept during his normal nap times and kept himself busy the rest of the time. Nick, Tessa, Garrett and I went crabbing and caught 20 crab! Meanwhile, Grandpa stayed with Kami, Brooklyn and Jonah. We thought we were pooped at the end of that day, but it was nothing compared to Grandpa Bill. Those kiddos tuckered him out! Jonah had a blast playing with his cousins. The weather was beautiful! We actually got to go to the beach and not freeze!

Here are a bunch of pics. ENJOY!
