Jonah's 1st birthday is approaching in 24 days. My 31st birthday will be here in 20 days and James will be 21, I mean 37, in 30 days. We'll be having a small family party at the house for Jonah. We decided to keep it small because our list of friends with kids is getting huge. I'm a little concerned about Jonah's 1st birthday cake. He is definitely not self-feeding yet. In fact, he hates picking up food with his hands. If you hold out a piece of food for him, he will move his open mouth towards to morsel. He is drinking from a sippy cup so that's a step in the right direction. Will he be into the birthday cake is the big question.
The summer days have been hot so we have been spending time in the pool. Jonah loves the water. He splashes and kicks while you hold him. We have dunked him in a couple time and he did not fuss. He will sit on the edge of the pool and jumps (falls) into our arms. Jonah may not look like me but he is definitely my child since he loves the water. James says that he has my toes too! Thanks!
Our families are doing well. The grandma's love spending time with Jonah. My nieces, Emily & Ellie, had fun playing with Jonah this pass weekend. They love trying to get him to laugh. It's super cute to watch. I cannot believe how big my nieces are getting. Emily's starting first grade on Thursday and Ellie will be in preschool. I remember going to the hospital to see them after they were born. Now they talk in complete sentences, ride bikes, watch Hannah Montana and like boys on TV. The time flies by especially now that we have Jonah. It's been a year since he was born and it seems like yesterday. I look back at pictures from the hospital and it's amazing how small and precious he was. Now he's a little boy crawling about under my feet. He reaches up for me to hold him. He'll start fussing if I sing the "ABC's" to him and I'm a terrible singer. He even gives me these open mouth kisses on the cheek which just melt my heart. Motherhood does make you soft in the right places and it's so much fun! I pretty sure James would say the same thing about fatherhood.
