Feeling Better!


Jonas hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. He had a cold and cough, and was pretty run down from the holidays. We went to the doctor on Wednesday, and it turned out that he had developed an ear infection. By yesterday he was feeling tons better already, and was much happier. He even managed to eat some lunch! Well, he ate what didn't end up all over himself...

Christmas Day




Christmas Day we went over to Grandma's for a little party. Jonas wasn't feeling to well, but he still had some happy moments. He got some really cool presents! He can race around in his new car (Flintstone style), and take a walk around the block in his new wagon! His present from Aunt Lisa even made him smile. After Grandma's we went over to Uncle Bob's, but Jonas was too tired to last very long there, so we didn't get any pictures.

Christmas Morning



Christmas morning Jonas got to open up his presents from Mommy, Daddy, and Santa! He was really getting the hang of ripping the paper to open the presents...so much so that he ripped up his new book! We did have fun though!

Christmas Eve


On Christmas Eve we headed over to Uncle Tom's for a party. Jonas, Bethany, Leah and Ben had tons of fun playing together. Jonas got really cool cars from his cousin Eric!


After Uncle Tom's we went over to Grandma Herdlein's house for the next party. Jonas loved these reindeer ears. They sang "Silent Night", and he carried them around with him all night and asked people to put them on his head. He is so cute. And of course, he got lots more presents!

Christmas with the Thompson's

Jonas went over to Grandma's house for the Thompson side of Christmas yesterday. Jonas already got some early Christmas presents! What a lucky boy. He also got to see a lot of his family that he doesn't get to see very often.


Jonas got this truck from his friend Lillie. He loved playing with the tools!



Jonas as "Harry Potter".


Does anyone want Jonas for Christmas? Cousin Paul put him in this stocking!


Jonas also got some presents from his Aunt Marie and cousin Joey! Thanks guys!


Jonas is giving Cookie Monster a kiss!

It was a really great party and Jonas loved getting all kinds of attention from his family! Christmas has officially begun!

Playing at Aunt Lisa's!


Jonas loves to play in Bethany's playroom! By the way, Jonas has 2 more teeth! That 6 so far!

Jonas and I got treats from St. Nick yesterday morning!

It's Christmas time! We decorated this week, and Jonas loved the decorations! His favorite is the talking snowmen!

Cars!



On Saturday we went to Uncle Tom and Aunt Karen's for a post-Thanksgiving get-together. Jonas had a blast playing with his cousin Ben, especially because he brought really cool cars to play with! Ben was really nice about sharing, and the boys looked really cute in their matching camouflage outfits!

Christmas at the Plaza



On Friday night, we went with Grandma to the Southgate Plaza. They had a whole bunch of little activities for the kids. Jonas got to sit on Santa's lap, and he went on a horse and carriage ride around the parking lot. He saw reindeer too, although he thought they were kind of boring.

Thanksgiving



On Thanksgiving we went to Grandma and Grandpa Herdlein's house for dinner. Jonas wasn't too impressed with the food, but he liked the whipped cream tradition! He also had tons of fun playing with his cousins Allison and Rachel. Later we went to Aunt Shirley and Uncle Rick's for dessert. Jonas finally ate some squash and cranberries, and got lots of attention from everyone!

Play Time!


Jonas' new favorite thing is sitting in his Tonka truck! The only problem is he can't get out...

Come On Sabres!



Jonas and Bethany tried to help the Sabres out last night...but it didn't work. They got these cool outfits from Uncle Mike though!

Basket Case


Jonas loves to play in this basket at Aunt Lisa's. It came back to bite him in the butt though...or lip. He fell out and cut his lip with his tooth! Of course, once he stopped bleeding, he climbed right back in.

Close Cousins


Bethany was a very nice cousin and let Jonas sit on her lap while they enjoyed playing the piano. They tolerate so much from each other...

Updates

I just wanted to update you on how Jonas is doing. Yesterday he said "hi!" for the first time! I answered him back before I even realized it was a new word! So now he says "uh-oh" and "hi"...same first 2 words as Bethany, imagine that. He is also walking around like crazy now, and occasionally tries to run. He can climb up stairs and down from couches. And of course, he still has a very hearty appetite, and is eating more and more different foods since he has 4 teeth now! Most importantly, he is still the happiest baby ever, always smiling!
Hey look a completely normal pumpkin.....last time at the zoo for the season?

Trunk or Treat!

Jonas' fever broke just in time for us to head over to Trinity for their Trunk or Treat event. Jonas and Bethany dressed up as m & m's. They were absolutely adorable!


We stopped at Great Grandma's for some treats and pumpkins! Jonas had to eat his cookies fast before Bethany stole them!


It was a little chilly outside, but Bethany and Jonas made it around the parking lot 2 whole times. Mommy and Daddy will enjoy his candy!


After trunk or treating, we went to Nino's for some late dinner. Jonas sported his Halloween bib and hat!

I Don't Feel Good...

Jonas has spent most of the week with a fever. Here he is with Grandpa trying to sleep it off.

Big Boy!

Jonas moved into his big kid car seat! Now he gets to see where he's going all the time!


My Little Mozart!

Jonas got a piano from his Grandma and Grandpa for his birthday. He loves the music and "singing" into the microphone!



Last Bottle

On his birthday, Jonas enjoyed his last bottle. He is doing very well with his sippy cups though!

1 Year Checkup

Jonas went to the doctor tonight. He got 3 shots, and of course, he was very good. He is healthy and normal. He weighs 21 lbs, 14 oz, and is 28 1/2 inches. That puts him in about the 25 percentile for height and the 35 percentile for weight. My little chunker! We were given the OK to switch to whole milk instead of formula, and change car seats to a front facing one. Overall, a very good visit!

Birthday Party Number 2 - The Presents

More presents! Jonas got more books, clothes, and toys! What a lucky little boy he is.



Birthday Party Number 2 - Wealthy, Healthy, or Knowledgeable?

The Herdlein's have a tradition that on a baby's first birthday, a piece of bread, a dollar bill, and a book are placed in front of the baby. If he chooses the bread, he will be healthy. If he chooses the money, he will be wealthy, and if he chooses the book, he will be knowledgeable.



Without hesitation, Jonas picked the bread and started chowing down (big surprise). Andrew was a little disappointed, since he was hoping that Jonas would support him in his old age.


So, we decided to see what Jonas' second choice was. Sorry Daddy!
