Jonathan's Recent Activities
He seems to have at least one new word a day now. Sometime before March 24, he said "boots." On March 24 he signed "cheese" and drank some water from a small bathroom cup by himself without crushing the cup to a pulp and without spilling very much. He says water that sounds like "why." Other... (More)

Puzzle
This morning Jonathan clearly said, "puzzle." It was not a Mommy-only interpretation, I'm sure. Anyone would have understood it. He likes the musical instrument puzzle, and I think he says "tuba" but that is a Mommy-ears questionable one. (More)

Light Beer
We went late to a party the other week and also stayed late to help clean up. It turns out that this year the guests were not beer drinkers, so the host had lots left over. He was not unhappy about that, but he did have a few bottles of light beer that he lamented still having. I offered to... (More)

Are The Old Ladies Right After All?
Friday evening, Jonathan was cranky, he fell asleep early, and he felt hot. I wondered if it might be an ear infection because his right ear had been squeaking when he nursed. In the middle of the night, I remembered that fever is a common reaction to the MMR vaccine, usually occuring 7-12 days... (More)

One, Two...
In situations where it's fun to count down (jumping, etc.) Jonathan will now say, "one... two..." He doesn't seem to want to say three, but the first two are very clear. We were playing outside today, on our furniture cart, riding it down the very gentle incline of our "yard." When I pushed off,... (More)

Big Helper
This morning Jonathan and I went down to the basement. I opened the dryer door for him and told him he could take the clothes out and put them in the laundry basket if he wanted to. While I rinsed out a dirty diaper, he did just what I said! He unloaded the whole thing all by himself (including... (More)

Debian Server
My new server arrived last week, and it came preconfigured with Gentoo, so it booted up, and I checked it out, but I really want a Debian system, so tonight is my second attempt at getting it to install. The first attempt failed miserably, but...I had been having trouble with my usual installer,... (More)

Kids Just Grow Up So Fast
I called my friend Alissa today and her four and a half year old son William answered. I said hi and asked for his mom and he said, "Well, she's downstairs right now, but you can talk to me and tell me what you want to say and I can tell her." It was not that long ago that he would only say,... (More)

Good Night, Daddy
Last night when it was time to go bed, after I changed his diaper, I took Jonathan down from the table and said, "Go into the other room and say good night to Daddy and then we'll go to bed." He did just that, with his "good night" sounding similar to "bye-bye" with softer consonants. He even... (More)

Puzzles and Rhythm
Rhythm is such a funny word I had to look it up to double check the spelling. Anyway, Jonathan has shown advancement in doing puzzles, having patience to turn the piece more than in the past. Today, he successfully put the triangle and square pieces in his shape sorter, where before he only... (More)

Words and Doings Update
Jonathan says, "shirt" now and yesterday and today he said "undo" when asking us to undo the highchair strap. Recently, he has been spinning in circles, getting himself dizzy and falling down, or making "I'm dizzy" kind of faces and sounds and movements. Very cute. Yesterday, he had the car... (More)

Have A Nice Day
When I was in the grocery store today, a lady came up to me and said, "Did you see...?" and proceeded to tell me a sad and horrific story she had read in the newspaper. I said, "no, that's one reason I don't read the paper" and she went on about it and how angry she was. I started to move on,... (More)

Grammy Teaches a Sign
Grammy likes to sing "If You're Happy and You Know it" and one of her verses is "duh" with the hand motion of smacking your forehead. She sang it on the bus to Jonathan on our way to the museum. This evening at dinner, Grammy offered Jonathan some of her coconut ice cream and he said no. Grammy... (More)

Playing with Grammy
Grammy arrived late last night so Jonathan greeted her this morning. He definitely remembered her, but still needed a little bit of warm up time. However, after playing with puzzles, books, and blocks, I'd say he's quite happy. She went upstairs to her room and Jonathan said, "Daddy?" (which I... (More)
