Advent, Blinking, Boots
12/22 - We were playing the piano, singing some carols, and Jonathan sang, "Rejoice! Rejoice! Man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, man-u, shall come!" Later that morning, way before his usual naptime, he was nursing and I saw his eyes roll back in his head, and the lids closing. This surprised me, so I... (More)

Fun Jonathan Quotes
Much of the Jonathan news is best encapsulated by quoting him: 12/15 - We slept late, and/or the garbage truck came early. We were having our pre-get-up nursing and I heard the truck in our street. Jonathan did too, for he lifted up his head and said, "Oopsie, trash truck!" and then sat up. So... (More)

Rock-a-Bye, Childproof Caps, Jumping and More
Jonathan has been saying, "I'm very happy!" "I'm glad" and similar phrases. He can sing Rock A Bye Baby for the most part and he likes to rock his teddy bear ("Rock a bye teddy bear") and baby Joseph and also to have us rock him. I'm going to attempt to write it the way it sounds because it is... (More)

Trapeze, Rhymes, Fun, and Self-Control
So much exciting stuff happened today that I want to get it written down now, even before we post about our vacation to Canada this weekend. Jonathan made up his own rhymes today and was obviously pleased with himself. "Toe-oh-bo" in the morning and "Hello, Moe! Hello, Joe!" into the phone in... (More)

Counting and Stairs
Saturday, Jonathan started counting to 4 consisently and then went up to 6 a few times. Now he consistently counts to 6, and if you say 7 he will then say, 8,9 and sometimes 10. Also on Saturday, he walked downstairs all by himself, only using his hand on the wall for balance - but he walked, no... (More)

More Words
While it is impossible to keep up with all of the new words Jonathan can say, there are interesting stories every once in a while (how "interesting" is measured is probably different among the different readers of this blog) and so I like to share them. Also, I realized that sometimes we say he... (More)

New Skills and Lots of Fun
On Saturday evening we were at a reception for a friend's baptism and Jonathan and I headed outside for some play. It was dusk and the fireflies started appearing. I caught some to show Jonathan and he loved them. Then to my surprise, he said, "I got it, firefly!" and sure enough, he had... (More)

Break's Over, Mom!
I have not been consistent with the bits recently, but this morning, Jonathan let me know that it's time to get with the program! When he woke up, he sat straight up, pointed at them and said, "This!" When we finished the butterflies, he asked for the African countries and when we finished those... (More)

Fledglings
This morning when I went downstairs, I saw one of the baby robins out of the nest on the ledge! Later when I went by all three were in the nest. I knew it wouldn't be long. Just now I checked and the nest is empty! Now they will spend two weeks learning how to be grown up robins, and after... (More)

Successful Inside Robin Viewing
After much disturbing of the poor robins, I have taken off the paneling over the window and have a lovely view of the nest. It is at a rather awkward angle for the camera, but I can still get some shots. I have a pillowcase suspended from the ceiling about 8 inches from the window, so that our... (More)

Helping Is Fun
I mentioned before that Jonathan likes to take the clothes out of the dryer and put them in the laundry basket. Now he likes to put the wet clothes in the dryer if I take them out of the washer and hand them to him. His favorite part, though, is pressing the button to start the dryer. He can't... (More)

Cute Things
On March 31, Jonathan was playing with his little people. He put a girl on one of the circus cars so that she was lying down, said, "night night" and put his head down on the coffee table. On April 3, all three of us were downstairs together while Jonathan was taking a bath. It was time to get... (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)

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)
