One More Month....

Happy 11 Months Jonah!!!

I can't believe my little Jonah is one month shy of a year old! That means no more infancy, no more counting weeks, and at the rate he's going....lots of chasing!

Some new things that Jonah's been doing this month are:
1. Standing without holding on to anything.
2. He's even taken his first few steps and does so from time to time! (Amazing!)

3. Points to something he wants or where he wants to go by using his mouth..he puckers up and says "ooh, ooh" (it's really funny)... 4. Jonah gives kisses!

5. He is drinking milk instead of nursing during the day and really likes it.
6. Has become really sociable with other children.
7. Is getting into all the cabinets, draws, and toilets.
8. Jonah has also led me to a nighttime routine where he has to say goodnight to everything in his room and read two books!
This summer is flying by and before you know it, Jonah will be a one year old...I can't believe it!

Here are some cute pictures from the last couple of weeks....

Hanging out with Mommy in the morning!

"I Love Myself".....

As a new mommy, I'm all for teaching Jonah about having a strong sense of self-esteem, self-reliance, and self-worth...but is this taking it a little to far??? Naaa, I don't think so!!!

"Yeah baby! Check me out!!!"

"I love myself! Mmmwaaah, mmmwaaah"

Wordless Wednesday...

All The Ladies...

My little man is surrounded by "ladies"! And, of course he loves it...All of the mommy and baby friends that we are close to here in Florida are girls. In our Mommy and Me play group there are the following....Ava, Annabella, Abigail, Sienna, and Hannah...our new friend Rachel is only 11 days younger and of course there is our dear friend Abby who is just one week younger! What did I tell you...all girls. Jonah acts like the prince surrounded by women ;) He loves playing with their hair since he doesn't have much of his own, pulling out their bows, tugging on their dresses, touching their hands and toes, and now the new thing is giving kisses! Yes, my friends...kisses!!! A "ladies man" already...what's a mommy to do!?!?

And the Finale....

Jonah at play....

We finally set up a "playroom" for Jonah of his very own with an "A,B,C & 1,2,3" mat, a comfy chair, a chest (soon to be painted) to store his toys, and a window for him to look out....come check it out there's lots to do and see!

All Boy...

The other day I was at my parents house...Grandpa, as he is now known, was holding Jonah while he was shaking and banging around a container full of puffs...When Grandpa stated, "He really is "all boy"!....Yep, as well he should be! Jonah loves banging on things, shaking anything that will make noise, he roars, wrestles with his bears and tigers, likes anything electronic (the remote, vacuum, coffee maker, my hair dryer, Jimmy's shavers..) and makes everything a car by pushing it around all over the floor (books, blocks, cars, rings, staking cups...etc.) So I went through some resent pictures just so you can see what I'm talking about...I love that my Jonah is "all boy!" :)

Jonah loves his Teddy Bear!

These pictures make me laugh!
Jonah was having so much fun wrestling with the Tiger!

Summer Time Fun!

Oh baby it's hot out here! So what else is there to do but swim, swim, swim! Jonah's becoming a real water baby....He loves splashing the water all over his face and everywhere else. He kicks like a little frog and even reaches for the wall and holds on tight!

All ready for a swim!

Enjoying a ride in his Froggy Float.

All together! Splash, splash!
