Lately

Jonah's friend Emily turned 3 the week after Jonah and had a birthday party at Michael's where we painted picture frames and stuffed a Pete the Cat pillow (based on the cutest book Pete the Cat and his 4 Groovy Buttons).
 Emily and her brother Alexander (and their parents of course) have become good friends of ours here.
 We 'celebrated' St Patrick's day by wearing our cute shirts Aunt Sara sent.
And after looking at this sweetness through the lense of the camera (which, let's be honest hasn't been happening lately - explaining the pathetic lack of posts) I decided something had to be done with 'el pelo.'


ta-daa!
 
In other news... I'm working on my first ever garden. I started from seed at the beginning of march and then planted them in my raised bed two weeks ago. We'll see how it goes - I'm excited at the prospect of fresh tomatoes, peppers, and zuchinni. I'll keep you posted.  


 and that's what I've captured on camera lately...

Some facts about three year old Jonah:














-Jonah prefers to be behind the camera taking pictures instead of smiling for the camera
-He asks "why?"
-He knows all his letters and is working on rhyming
-He has a great imagination and plays pretend, mostly pretending to be animals or characters from his favorite shows Wild Kratts and Octonauts (both animal based shows)

-Is a big help in the kitchen and around the house

 
 
On Saturday we had an animal themed party at the science center

 We saw and pet a box turtle, lizard, and ginea pig.

And made ice cream with liquid nitrogen.
The party was a blast and we had a great weekend!
