Go St. Mary's!

Saturday we went over to Aunt Gretchen's to watch the St. Mary's homecoming game. Her backyard is right behind the field!

Hmmm.....this is interesting.

Go Lancers, Go!

The Lancers are kicking their butts so bad this plate is more interesting.

The victory is ours! I think I'll celebrate with a stogy...or a pretzel, whatever.

Big Hug!

Jonas is so lucky to have a cousin that loves him so much!

I Love Life!

What? Daddy's trying to nap??

Addiction?

Here's the number one way to tell if your baby has taken his need for a pacifier too far. Jonas loves using the knob of his puzzle piece as a binkie!

In Heaven...

Grilled cheese in one hand and french fry in the other...can life be any better?

Practicing!

Jonas is practicing for when he turns 1 and can't use a bottle anymore.

Big Cousin Bethany

Bethany is being a nice big cousin and patting Jonas gently on the head while he plays.

Sleeping the Day Away

Sleeping Angels

They're so cute when they're asleep...

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!

Friday night we got together at Grandma and Grandpa's for Mommy's and Great Grandma's birthdays. Jonas painted Mommy a card with his handprints on it!

This is the cake Uncle Mike and Aunt Lisa made for Mommy!

Body Painting

Jonas thought it was pretty cool that he got to paint his cousin...of course he got a lot on himself too. It did start out as painting on paper, I don't know what happened!

Playing Outside

Some really cute pictures from playing outside at Bethany's house

Bath time!

Jonas loves to play in the bath, and even Bethany stayed happy for a little while!

Messing around

I got a new memory card for my camera, so now I get to take lots of pictures! Here's some random ones from yesterday.

Just chillin...

This is Jonas' giving you all a kiss!

Do you see his teeth? He has four now!

I am the champion!

Jonas successfully climbed up all of the stairs to his bedroom today! Time for the barricades! He was proud of himself too...this is him at the top of the stairs showing everyone how big he is!

Swimming!

Jonas' Grandma and Grandpa were staying at the casino tonight in a free room, so Jonas got to go swimming in a big pool! He loved the waterfalls!

Hanging out at Bethany's!

Jonas is 11 months old! He's doing pretty well cruising around now. It won't be too long before he's walking! He is also eating a lot of new foods since he got his 2 bottom teeth...and he is drooling a lot too. He has been going over to Bethany's house every day since I started teaching this week. He is really loving playing with Bethany's stuff...especially her piano! She better watch out, Jonas is getting bigger!

Jonas loves to do "So Big" now!

By the way, check out the video in Bethany's blog. Jonas and Bethany are so funny!

Wings!

On Sunday Jonas got to go to the Buffalo Wing Festival. He felt a little left out because he couldn't have any wings, but he got plenty of photo opps with all of the cool stuff around!
