An assortment of pictures and stories
I was going through our massive database of photos, and realized there are ones I need to get on the blog to share. Some of them don’t seem right without posting a little story of what was going so here is a hodge podge of pictures and stories:
Jonas playing/eating in his high chair. An update on eating: I am still making all of Jonas’s baby food. So far, he has been introduced to sweet potatoes, sweet peas, avocado, pears, green beans, oatmeal, and as of last night, apples. He does not turn down any of it. The amounts have increased incredibly over the past week. Just last night, Jonas took down half an avocado, a serving of sweet potato, 2 servings of apples, and a baby bowl full of oatmeal. Serving is measured by the amount held in one ice cub tray section. My favorite part of eating is he now opens his mouth when he sees the spoon coming. Towards the end when he is getting full, he begins to play and fusses to hold the spoon “to feed himself”.
I attempted to do some decorations for Halloween. My favorite were these ghosts stuffed with newspapers. I made Hot Hubs and Jonas stand next to them to take their picture…this is my favorite because Jonas looks so fat and healthy.
In the spirit of Election Day, I dressed Jonas up all patriotic for day care. I swear this picture he is forcing a smile and saying to me, “Seriously?!”
There was one day I got out of class early and it was a GORGEOUS fall day. I found a trail/park close to our house and took Jonas for a walk. The best part was taking him out of his stroller, and letting him touch leaves, tree trunks, wooden bridges, rocks…it gets me soooo excited for next year when we can truly go exploring together.
Jonas is absolutely fascinated with Sparky. He will be in the middle of something and if he sees Sparky enter a room or move, he stops what he is doing and stares at Sparky. Here, Sparky got close enough for Jonas to reach out and grab him.
We had a little get together for a doctor Hot Hubs works with who returned from Iraq. I went way overboard and dressed Jonas like a little man in cords and a button down shirt. I used this same outfit the other day when he had picture day at school. I eagerly await the results of Jonas’s classic first “school” pictures. According to the gals at daycare, he smiled really big! Here is a Mommy and Jonas photo shoot compliments of Hot Daddy (don’t you love the Spock-like ears?):
