Conversations and Crawling

Jonah is now holding conversations with us! Where did my little baby boy go? Almost 2 weeks ago now, this was the 1st conversation of any real length that he had. I was sleeping in with Carly a little bit, and he and Jason were up getting breakfast in the kitchen before church.
Daddy: Hey Jonah, [...]

Learning New Things

Jonah’s vocabulary has just been exploding lately… phrases combined with subtle little sounds and gestures that just leave us in stitches… like frumpling up his eyebrows, smooching out his lips, shaking his head no and say “umm, I don’t really need to go night night right now” or the little lip smack and sigh followed [...]

Funny Pronunciations & Sayings to Remember

I don’t want to forget all the funny little things that Jonah says, cause before I know it, he’ll be a big kid talking right with no problem at all. And then it just won’t be as funny when he botches up his words. Here’s a few for me to reminisce on someday…

Jonah’s Recent Art

We’ve been doing at least one “ar projek” a week, and sometimes, they’re not making they’re way onto the 365 blog. So here are a few of the projects we’ve done for our letter of the week. Once we’ve already done the letter, if he asks to do another project later on in the week, [...]

Potty training is going pretty well. He’s gotten great about telling us when [...]

Getting Ready for a Change

Jason has been out of town all week on business, and will be back late Friday night. We decided that we’d go ahead with our plans to officialy start potty training Jonah, even though his trip cut his long weekend short. Mostly because Jonah’s being very interested now, and if we wait two weeks until [...]

Oh no! Elmo, here we come!

As you all know, from a previous post on the subject, I have tried to keep cartoon character infatuation at bay, in order to keep the more expensive/lower quality “licensed character” items out of our house. Well, I’m here to admit that I’m bringing this soon-to-be Elmo infatuation on myself, and I’m even asking for [...]

Got Alot Done

With my mom hanging around and helping out last week, we got WAY more done than any couple with a nearly 2 year old and a 1 week old should! My mom is a major DIY handy-woman, and just couldn’t contain herself when she came to stay. By the end of the 1st day she [...]
