The little people farm

Messy spaghetti night! Jonah loves to eat rotini pasta. Can you see the sides of his head where he's used spaghetti sauce to style his hair?

Jonah's main goal in life is to be noticed by Sadie. He has a special tone of voice that he uses only for her and loves to play with her.

good morning!

Storyville

Our new favorite place to go since we can't go to the park! Storyville is part of our library, and is like a museum quality children's activity center. For free. Last time we went on a week day because I had a snow day and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Today there was a wait to get in and it was packed. Jonah loves to stare at other little people anyway, so he was in heaven.

Riding the boat in "Toddler Bay" (OMG I have a toddler!)

Playing fireman with Daddy

Jonah's absolute favorite place is the construction zone - mostly for a table that has drawers to open a close. He spent most of his time opening and closing drawers - occiasionally pulling items out to wave at us, but mostly just impressed with himself for finding a "non-toy" to play with.

11 months

Jonah and Daddy

At eleven months Jonah is:

-all bundled up. I think he has forgotten what it is like to be outside. I can't wait for spring and walks in the park.


-messy! His new thing is putting his dirty hands in his hair. He's mostly feeding himself so his hands get pretty sticky and then he grabs the hair behind his ears and pulls it away from his head to give himself a feathered Farrah look. He can put the spoon in his mouth if we load it up for him, but somehow a lot of the food still ends up in his lap!

-almost ready to talk. Last night he made a good attempt at saying "more" but right now he has put communication on the back burner becauses he is:

-WALKING! At New Year's Jonah stood up by himself without holding on to anything and balanced for several seconds. For a couple weeks he would pull up to standing and then reach out as if to take a step and fall. Justin and I finally got him to take a few steps between us one weekend, but it was more like controlled falling. We used Jonah's Christmas money to buy a push toy and Jonah loved practicing zooming up and down the hall. Then last week I had three snow days and was able to watch Jonah really master the art of walking. Now he's pretty much in constant motion. Now to master the art of turning!
