It's Christmas Time

I'm not sure if all of you know, but I LOVE Christmas! It's the time of year when I love to decorate, shop, and just be around friends & family. This year Christmas seems even more exciting with this little man! Micah & Mark went out to get the biggest Christmas tree on the lot, so the tree is up & decorated, all 11 feet of it! We took Jonas to see Santa & Mrs. Claus. The woman that ushered us up to see him clearly didn't know what an easy little guy he was because she instructed us to back up towards Santa to prevent him from seeing him before I sat Jonas in his lap....hmmmm. Anyhow, he did a great job, grabbed Santa's beard to make sure he was no fake! I also made sure he didn't smell like beef & cheese (for those of you that have watched the movie Elf, you know what I mean). Hope your Holiday season is going wonderfully so far! This year it's abnormally warm in Arizona for the holidays! We hope to take Jonas to see some snow on Mt. Lemmon if it gets cold enough!

Sport's Fan

Jonas has now been to an NFL game and a hockey game. Micah and I were offered some tickets to the Cardinals game, so we decided to take our little man. Tailgating is a little different these days :) We also met up with a couple of friends for the U of A vs ASU hockey game, which was also a good time. Jonas seems pretty interested for about 30 minutes at each of these sporting events, then falls asleep! Ha! Even with all that noise, he just crashes!

This kid LOVES eating!

Jonas is now eating cereal! He is doing really well learning to work that little tongue. He LOVES sitting in his high chair, even if it's just to play with his toys. He's not quite sitting up by himself, but pretty close.

Happy Thanksgiving

Jonas is growing like crazy! He did weigh in around a half pound heavier than our turkey :) He's sitting up quite a bit more with our help and really starting to get interested in his toys!

5 Months....Really?!?

We can't believe Jonas is 5 months! Wow, the time really does fly! He's rolling around to get where he wants to go. He's on the verge of crawling with his butt in the air and scooting a little. He LOVES bathtime and snuggling with Mommy! We took him on a walk with Rigley on Saturday morning, and it's nice now that we can face him forward in the stroller. He looks like he's just soaking it all in. We feel like we've been blessed with such an amazing little guy!

Ritz Carlton Baby

Micah, Jonas and I all traveled up to Phoenix for a little car shopping, which was successful by the way! It was Jonas' first visit to a Ritz Carlton. He seemed to enjoy it :) These days he is smiling a lot! Always loving time with Mommy & Daddy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Jonas was a cute little dalmation last night for our Halloween party. He had a good time hanging out with his little friends too! His cousin, Payton was a sweet little strawberry. His daycare girlfriend, Addy, was a sweet little kitty. And Gunnar, his buddy that is 3 weeks older, was that sweet little monkey!
