Pictures and Update

Well, the pictures are a little scattered, but enjoy anyhow! We are doing well, it was a big weekend here, our 5 year anniversary and then my 1st Mother's Day! Jeremy and I went out for a dinner and to a movie (yes, big deal for us, I think the last time we went to a movie was about a year or more ago). My brothers watched Jonathan and did an awesome job, and it was nice just to get away for a bit! I have been still getting out walking whenever the weather allows it, so we are loving that, especially the beautiful sun that we are now having, summer might happen here afterall! :)

Jonathan is fighting a bit of a cold right now, mostly just pretty congested, so we are just hanging out at home, getting him rest and loving on eachother. ( I don't mind) :)

The new things in JOnathan's world are that he found his feet about two weeks ago (maybe more or less) and just thinks they're the greatest ever! Getting his diaper chaged and/or dressed can be an event, first you have to get his feet out of his mouth to get his diaper on, then as you are putting on his shirt/onesie he shoves his hand, into his mouth, before it is all the way through the sleeve and then it is abck to the feet in the mouth, so have to get those out to get his pants on. :) We did start him on rice cereal last week, which has been going ok so far, he eats a few bites and then is done, mostly jsut tring to get him used to the spoon right now, and different eating motion. Starting about 1 1/2 wks ago, we seem to have lost our good sleeper, I think it may be due to teething (I haven't seen anything yet, but that's what it seems to lean towards), he wakes up about 6 hours after I put him down and wants to eat, so we eat and he will sleep another 4-5 hours, sometimes though we end up falling asleep on the recliner before I get him abck in bed. Good thing we bought a comfy recliner! :)

Well, I hear a baby waking up I think, time to go! ENjoy the pictures!



Love the messy face pictures



Loves those feet



Love this picture! so cute and I got a picture of his adorable smile! :)


Happy naked baby!



I think this is one of the mornings that he woke up super early and after I fed him we slept on the recliner for a while :)




Miles trying to be his best friend! Later (About 5 min) we discovered that Jonathan has a bit of an allergy to Miles, he broke out in hives, so we are just keeping them apart, and not letting Miles touch or lick Jonathan, much to his dismay, we didn't let it happen alot anyways, but now I am trying to keep a closer eye on it.



More rice cereal, JOnathan was winning this time


First time trying Rice Cereal



Love this outfit, not a great pic, he's pretty wiggly - loves to pull his feet in the air and especially to pull his feet up and gnaw on his feet!



Costco Shopping, he likes this view better than the baby seat - not a big fan of his carseat!



Going for a walk, notice he is holding on to Miles' leash! haha


Look I found my feet Mom!

Well, here are some pictures of our last couple of weeks. Starting at the top is the group of friends that we started hanging out with as newlyweds and now we all have children, some families two! This group of friends has been such a blessing to us. ONe couple moved this last week, which was very sad, but I know we'll see eachother again! And we are looking forward to watching our babies grow together and hopefully become playmates.

I've been going walking once a week with a couple of friends, which is a nice reason to get out with our strollers. WE are going to do the Heart Run tomorrow, a 5K, but are going to walk it, I'm not really in running shape (but when was I ever?) :).

I also put in my notice at work this week, which is very exciting for me, my last day will be May 20, I wanted to give them plenty of time to start interviewing and start training someone new. Jeremy recently received a promotion at work, becoming the CHief Financial Officer at the credit union, which he is very excited about doing. He is looking forward to the new challenge and learning new things, and putting his MBA more to use. (which he should be done with by this fall, I am told).

Jonathan has been doing great. He is still sleeping his 10+ hours at night, which is so wonderful for us. He is also becomnig very vocal. (Not sure who he gets that from!) :) He has started this high pitched screech whenever we walk out of a room or turn our back to him - that's just great! haha We also got him to really laugh this week, which was super cute. He has always made lots of happy noise, but this was a real laugh. :) He is starting to grab everything possible. As you can see with him and Jeremy's coffee cup. I have had him in his Bumbo chair on the counter with me and I can't have anything close to him, he was grabbing the back of hamburger buns the other night and a couple weeks ago I was cleaning out cabinets, and had some glasses sitting near him and he hit them, sending one rolling off the counter. He is also enjoying story time and reading books with mommy. We made our first trip to the library with him this week. I went to the kids section with him and got a couple board books. However, its not easy keeping him quiet in the library, so daddy had to make his selections quickly. :)

I think that's about all going on here. I"ve jsut been working on cleaning out rooms and doing some spring cleaning of sorts ,which feels good to get done. And we are hoping that we don't get much more snow - we had some really wet stuff yesterday. yuck!

Anyhow, I think I hear JOnathan starting to wake up, so should get on with my morning! Enjoy the pictures!
