A Toddler's Life

Jonah is well on his way into Toddlerhood.....I mean more teeth, running, saying his first words, mimicking new sounds and gestures, dancing to music, showing quite a personality, and more. Here are some stats on our beautiful little man.

1. Jonah now has seven teeth and I believe is working on the eighth.

Showing off those pearly whites....
look at all seven teeth with more on the way!


2. He is not just walking but running.
3. He loves music and dances all the time.

4. Jonah has said his first few "real" words like, up, out and hot, and even car. Hot is his favorite, he repeats it over and over and he actually associates it with the right things...the coffee maker, the iron, the oven, a pot on the stove, and even Daddy's morning coffee mug.

5. Jonah is wearing mostly 18 month size clothing.

6. He is doing well at his preschool and seems to have adjusted better than we have.

7. He loves our Sunday morning bike rides on the Legacy Trail where we meet up with Grandpa and ride for at least and hour or more.

8. He still loves swimming and now puts his face in the water to blow bubbles.
9. Jonah makes all kinds of car noises and plays with his cars all the time. He pulls, pushes, and rides anything he can...such a boy!

10. He has cut out his morning nap and is now taking only one nap a day.
11. He is starting to like regular "big boy" food more than the pureed stuff.

12. He weighs 22lbs and is 29 and 1/4 inches tall.(At least the was at his 1 year appointment, could be more now. We'll find out next month.)
13. He is climbing up anything he can so we had to put the crib mattress all the way down.

14. Jonah loves sitting in a "big boy" car seat, facing forward to see everything! 15. Loves to talk to us and to himself in the mirror. Jonah watches himself make funny faces and gestures in the mirror, it makes me laugh.
16. He also gives the best hugs in the world!!!

Here as some other fun pictures from the last couple of weeks....
