MARCH 2012

Jonah is interested in potty training!! It's so exciting! If we let him go around naked he uses the potty! So SO exciting...until he decided he wasn't interested anymore. Apparently, this is very common in boys. So now this is what he does with his big boy underwear. Someday it'll happen for real. Until then, I can take a ton of embarrassing pictures to use as bribery for when he's older:)

I guess this is his smile for pictures now. And yes, he's eating cheese crackers...on my side of the bed  ;(

He loves playing outside... 

...especially with Daddy. Anytime you say the word "go" , he gets so excited! He says, "We go? We go?"

JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2012

We had a few good snow days this year. Jonah didn't get to play in it much because it never lasted more than one day.

Just hanging out at a friends house eating some apple sauce while wearing goggles. Is that not normal?

Jonah loves the computers at the library. His favorite book is called "What shall we do with the Boo-Hoo Baby?" When you ask him what the baby says, he answers, "boo-hoo-hoo!" 

I think he has entered the stage of wanting to be like Daddy. He's started trying to wear Nick's clothes all the time. It's pretty darn cute.

November and December 2011

 NOVEMBER 2011

This month went by so fast! We had Thanksgiving at my brother's house where he deep fried a turkey. It was tasty! Nick has been trying to convince me to get a deep fryer for this very purpose. I'm still not convinced but I really liked the turkey. Nice try though...

I made some homemade finger paints so we could paint some fall pictures. Jonah  wasn't as interested in painting as he was in eating the paint. (it's edible)

I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Jonah likes to "help" me in the kitchen.

 DECEMBER 2011

We celebrated Christmas twice this year. Once with Nick's family and again with my side of the fam. Jonah had some experience opening presents by now and by the time we got to the 2nd Christmas, he was a pro. I'm pretty sure he ended up opening mine and Nick's presents as well as his own.

Jonah helped decorate the tree this year. It was so cute! He couldn't really get the hooks on the branches so he needed help on every single one. It was a little tedious but we got it done. It was hard to get him to leave the ornaments on the tree. I kept finding him with a snowman and a drummer boy fighting to the death.

His stocking is deeper than his arm is long.

He loved his cars though.

Aunt Michelle made ginger bread houses and you are not allowed to eat anything off of them until after Christmas. However, Uncle Mike had been picking at it all day. Jonah decided to try some. I'm pretty sure he had observed his Uncle's sneakiness and decided he'd try to be sneaky too.
Here he goes...

 

Almost got it...

Nope! Aunt Michelle caught him. He got pretty close though, and this was not the only time he tried. I'm sure he got some while no one was looking:)

So, Jonah decided to put on some of Daddy's clothes. I would have gone for a shirt but, to each his own.
