Ok, I'm going to try the pictures again....
Oh, and now I get to share a funny story that just happened. Being around Jonathan all the time I have noticed that his reach is really extending and he will get about anything he wants. Well, Jeremy was eating his cereal and decided to hold Jonathan in his lap, not even 30 seconds on his lap, and Jonathan reached backwards (Jeremy had him turned away from the cereal bowl) and as you can guess, the bowl of rice krispies went all over Jeremy's lap and onto the floor. And yes, now come the benefits of having a dog. Miles is in heaven!! :)

Early Saturday Morning
Well, it is almost 8 on Saturday and I am wide awake. Mind you, I haven't been able to roll myself out of bed every other day this week before 8, despite my alarm going off at 7. However, this wonderful Sat am, my beautiful son decided he was hungry at 5 am, and really didn't think he should go back to sleep, so after trying to lay him ack down, which was successful for about 20 min, we were wide awake by about 6:00. And in that time we have had three outfit changes as well. But, by 7:30 he was ready to go down for his nap. So, here I am am, wide awake, coffee brewed, and laundry started.
This last week has been a better week than the previous, I think we are settled back into our routines, and adjusted to not having grandparents in the house to play and hold Jonathan all the time. :) Which we love, so we will gladly take the time to adjust back.
We were able to spend some time outside this week, which is what I will post pictures of. On monday we jsut went and hung out in our back yard, and then that afternoon went to Uncle Ben's baseball game.
For the last few weeks now, we have been going to the Music in the Park that is downtown. Jonathan really enjoys the music and it is fun to be outside. We went with both sets of grandparents when they were here and since then have been going with my mom and Uncle Ben. We have been getting to spend more time with Uncle Ben this summer as he comes and runs errands with my mom and I, and even this week came with me so that Jonathan could sleep in the car. We have enjoyed the extra time with him. :)
We are still working on solids, still not a favorite, but I'm trying to be more consistent in offering them, but Jonathan does love to put everything else possible in his mouth. Miles is also learning the benefits of Jonathan eating in the high chair, and is never far away, often with his paws pulled up on the chair. The other night Jonathan learned he could stretch out his dirty hand and Miles would lick it off which was great fun for both of them. I am trying to get us to all sit down and eat dinner together at the table, which is fun to be able to have Jonathan sit with us.
He still isn't crawling, but is getting closer every day I think. ON one hand, I'm excited for him to start, and the other I'm ok with him just rolling and scootching for now, because I know once he crawls he will be much harder to contain.

Rice Cereal
We just had a monumental moment here at our house!! Jonathan ate almost his whole serving of cereal that I made for him. A friend suggested trying with coconut milk and a fruit. So we did - hoping that's all ok for him, but I'm not too concerned. So I mixed the oatmeal stuff with coconut milk and a mango baby food. I didn't make a huge serving, but he ate almost all of it. NOrmally we don't make it past bite #2. He did try to spit it back at me, but quickly remembered not to do that, or he gets flicked. :( So, maybe we can keep going in the right direction here! I would love for him to eat more solids, I think it would help him sleep through the night. He's 18 pounds, no wonder he's waking up to eat, he needs more calories in him I think, so I'm trying my best! :)

A couple recent pictures
Now that he is sitting up so well I decided it was time to pull out the duck bath tub and how cute is it!?!? He really seemed to love it, and loves playing with his rubber duckies in the bath.
Jonathan loving on mommy - not sure if they're really kisses or him telling me he was ready to eat - but I'll take them either way!
