My little chunker

We went to the doctor today. Now remember, we went only one week ago, and he was back to his birthweight, 7 lbs 13 oz. Today he was 8 lbs 7 oz! I couldn't believe it. So, I guess he's gaining weight ok. After the doctor's appointment, we went to the new house to clean a bit and unload some of the things that dad brought over from their house. Jonas had a really good time hanging out with his cousin in his new house! And of course, we have to thank Uncle Matthew for bringing back the house keys...for some reason Aunt Lisa can't ever remember her own keys, but takes ours. Try to figure that one out!

New House!

Well, I know it's been a little while since the last post, so you get to see lots of pictures this time. We had a very busy weekend. Jonas got to meet a bunch of new people, and he had lots of fun. Our friends Catherine and Erik were here for the weekend, and he got to meet a bunch more of his aunts and uncles and hang out with his cousins at Ben's christening on Sunday. Monday we hung out with the Herdlein's at Kathy's birthday party (Happy Birthday Aunt Kathy!). And guess what? Today we get to go close on our new house! Jonas can't wait to have his own room! By the way, he slept through the night for the second time last night! Yay Jonas!

1st Doctor's Appointment

Jonas had his first doctor's appointment yesterday. He is back up to his birthweight, 7 lbs 13 oz, and he grew 1/2 an inch, and is now up to 21 inches long. Here he is showing off his beautiful long fingers for everyone.

Hanging out at home

Well, we have had a very busy couple of days. Sunday we tried to give the Bills good luck by dressing Jonas in his Bills onesie. Didn't work out of course, but we did have a good time going to the mall with Grandma, Aunt Lisa, and Bethany. For some reason I have a hard time remembering his diaper bag, but luckily Bethany wasnice enough to share her bottle, which Jonas had in Macy's bathroom. Good thing it had nice chairs for us to relax in! Monday we got to go visit Daddy at work and meet all the nice people he works with. Everyone loved Jonas of course. Tuesday Jonas got to see where Mom and Dad hang out every Tuesday. We went to Wild Wings, but I don't think Jonas was too impressed, because he slept through the whole thing. Today we are just relaxing at home and watching TV. Tomorrow we get to go to the doctor and see how big he is! I can't wait!

Grandpa's birthday

We survived the storm and kept power and heat the whole time! We even hosted a party for Grandpa's birthday. Jonas had a great time hanging out with Grandpa and got to know his cousin Bethany better too!

Daddy feeding Jonas

After Andrew found out his car got massacred in the snowstorm...


he decided to make a little invention to allow Jonas to feed himself...


which lasted about 2 seconds before Mommy made him pick Jonas up and feed him properly.

Belly button!!

Look at my little baby's belly button! Isn't it cute? I think Jonas is quite happy to be rid of his little cord.

Jonas had his first bath...sort of anyway. We washed his hair for him to visit with his family and look nice and cute. He was a little distressed, I don't think he liked it too much.


He also had his first ride in his swing, which put him right to sleep.


Today, we are relaxing at home as a family because Andrew couldn't go to work because of the weather. Jonas and I are so excited! Here's Daddy and Jonas spending some quality time together.

Coming Home

Well, Jonas and I survived the hospital and yesterday we got to finally come home at around 3:30 PM. I think we were both ready, despite how nice it was to have the nurses there to help.


We had a fairly relaxing day at home eating, sleeping, and changing diapers. And then night came, and Jonas woke up. Mom and Dad took shifts between feedings, but I think we both only got about a total of 3 hours sleep. Wish us better luck for tonight!
