Baby J

I know it's been a whole month since Jonah's blog has been updated...sorry. Jonah keeps me pretty busy. He is eating "real" food now. We started with squash and he now eats carrots, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, and bananas. He is a good eater and surprisingly doesn't make too huge of a mess. Once he figured out what he is supposed to do he has been really easy to feed.

He hasn't started crawling yet. But he sits up by himself and has started lunging forward like he wants to go somewhere. I think it's just a matter of time. He can scoot backward when he's on his tummy and I've tried to explain to him that its counter-productive...he just doesn't listen.

Jonah was a little sick around Easter. The Dr. thinks he may have had the rota virus. If you know what that is, you know how yucky it was. Lots and LOTS of laundry. It took him a while to fully recover. It made him super tired and we had to give him lots of pedialite to keep him hydrated. Poor little guy was just not his happy self. He also has eczema pretty bad. Uncle Mike put some cream on it and it looks a lot better. We've also been covering him in unscented lotion and changed his yummy smelling baby wash to the boring kind. It's amazing how big a difference it's made. It's almost gone in some spots.

He's been having a blast with his Aunt Michelle and cousins Emma, Grace and Davey. He laughs all the time and they keep him busy all day. Aunt Michelle has been watching him for about 2 months. He has so much fun and I know he's being taken care of. Our awesome friend Anna takes care of him on Thursdays to give Aunt Michelle a break, and to enjoy his excellent company. He loves hangin out with her too. I think it's good for him. He is used to having a lot of different people around. He isn't shy at all!
