10 months

Jonah will be 10 months on Thursday, August 12th. He has two teeth on the bottom and has been working very hard on the top two. The drooling NEVER stops. He had his 9month check-up in mid-July. He is 23 lbs 2 ounces and 28 and 3/4 inches long. After Jonah peed in his face, Dr. Scott said Jonah is a "healthy kid with a strong stream." He will forever be known as the kid who peed in Dr. Scott's eyeball. He is already making his Daddy proud.

Our little boy is so smart! He can wave "bye-bye", give real hugs, make fishy faces, kiss sounds, and flip his tongue over. He can even drink from a cup...kinda. He's still working on the cup thing. His Aunties think he's a real freak of nature because he is such a happy baby. He laughs at everything especially his cousins. He thinks they are all hilarious and gets bored at home with us. He likes music and dances every time he hears some. His favorite is still "The Office" theme song. I have it set as my ring tone and he dances every time Daddy calls. We are having so much fun with him. It's awesome to see his personality develop and we think he's going to be a pretty cool kid.

Here are some recent pics. ENJOY!






We love the fuzzy hair:)

Look at those teeth!







Kiss face!


Fishy face. See the difference?

9 Months!!

Jonah is 9 months old!! It's hard to believe it has been that long!! He now has two bottom front teeth. It was a lot of work getting them to come up but he did it! He has been walking too! We have been trying to get him to move his feet while we hold his hands for a long time. It's like everything "clicked" for him and he started holding our hands and walking all over the place! He has so much personality. He is always laughing and talking while moving his hands. He says "mama" and "dada" but I'm not sure if he knows what or who he's talking about.
We recently made a trip to San Diego to visit Great Grandma Kish. Jonah did AMAZING on the plane. Most people didn't even know there was a baby on board. He also did fantastic while we were staying in a hotel and his schedule got messed up. Unfortunately he had a little spill off the bed in our room. In some of the pics down below, he has a big rug burn on his nose. He was really upset but got over it pretty quickly. He's a tough kid.
The older he gets, the more fun he is. Every day he has some new trick to show us.


We went to the beach!!


Jonah loved the sand...he even ate some.




Yay! A day at the museum!


Wait...whats a museum again?

8 Months

It has been way too long since I've updated Jonah's blog. It's actually been 2 whole months! Time has been flying by and Jonah has been growing like crazy! We are pretty sure he is over 20lbs now. He has the chubbiest little legs!!

Jonah has some new tricks!! He just recently started crawling for Nick and I even though he has been crawling for Aunt Michelle and his cousins for a few weeks. I'm afraid he's going to be stubborn like that. He has discovered how to click his tongue! It's so cute! He is a happy little boy. He giggles at everything and watches everyone very closely. He is starting to get a little nervous with strangers. As long as he's in the arms of someone he knows he doesn't mind smiling at anyone who happens to give him some attention.

Jonah loves books and toys that make sound but is perfectly content sitting on the floor watching his cousins dance and play around him. It's fun to watch him learn things. He is working on using a sippy cup instead of a bottle. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet but he gets the idea.

We got his pictures taken recently and I'm finally getting around to posting them somewhere. Hope you enjoy them!























Jonah sat through a catholic wedding that started an hour late. He didn't fuss once! He is the best baby ever!


Sometimes he likes to eat his bib instead of his food.


He sits up in the bath tub like a big boy!


Such a funny boy!


Loves to eat his puffs!

Jonah (a.k.a. Buddha)

Jonah had his 6 month check-up last week. He is 27 and 1/4 inches and 19.5 lbs. We weren't really surprised by his weight. He is a big boy! He is super healthy and is sitting up like a pro.(Dr. Scott was impressed) His new thing is shaking his head "no" when he gets excited. It's hilarious because you can ask him silly questions and he always says no. I've been trying to get it on video but everytime the camera comes out he stops and stares. I'll post it when I finally get it.

He had a nasty cold last week and felt really puny. We aren't sure if he had a cold before he got his shots or if he got his shots and then got a cold, but he had a fever for a few days and wasn't himself. He is feeling much better and is back to his happy, giggly, funny, talkative self.

Here are some pics I forgot to put in the last post. This is what happens when Jonah's Aunties get really bored on a warm sunny day.



Little Buddha :)


So cute when he laughs!

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!






Jonah's first taste of squash.


After a while he liked it.


He looks like a big boy in his high chair.


His first girlfriend will definately see this one...


Happy Easter!!

This is a video of Jonah laughing. It's a little fuzzy but you can hear him cracking up.
