My little baby is growing up!

Not only is baby Jonathan's tooth coming through, but so are many other things. First, his personality is coming through loud and clear. He is so funny! He will copy you, fake cough, cry until you look ( and then smile), he loves to shake things and throw them too. He can get upset too, when you don't do it right away you will hear about it! Next, his size is showing. His mean ol' mommy tried to sqeeze him into a cute outfit just because it's cute. Well, he cried and I yanked and when it came off, I vowed not to put it on him again. It still hangs in the closet where I longingly look at it and wish it was bigger. He also is acting like a big boy. Yesterday, he was sitting up, he got into a crawling position and then pulled himself up using the couch. I was cheering and kissing and he probably won't do it again just to save himself from my actions being repeated. He hasn't figured out crawling yet. He will get into the position and sway but not MOVE! Sunday, he was working on it though. He was in the crawling pose, moved this knees forward but not his hands. It resulted in baby Jonathan going head first into the carpet. If only he could figure out that he needs to move them simutaniously. Oh well, I am repeatedly told that when he starts I would have wished he wouldn't have. But oh how I wish he could just get to some of the toys he wanted on his own. But once he starts crawling, he'll get new toys- like mommy and daddy's shoes, picture frames, and items that scream "chew and choke." Oh well, guess it comes with the territory. I love being baby Jonathan's mommy. Wonder if he likes being my son?!? Hmm...

It is not only my favorite Kindergarten class, but it is my only Kindergarten class! We have learned the sounds how to write Ii, Uu, and Ee. They are all doing a wonderful job! This year we have Channing, Cayden, Tiffany, and Gage. They are GREAT kids...

Finally posting.....

Jonathan is a natural with the ladies....lol Felicia's heart is set on him, much to Tommy Brown's dismay. :) I thought this pic was adorable. Even Felicia lol.

Life has been very busy. Apologies for not blogging sooner, we don't have the internet at home- trying to get it all figured out... But I haven't had time to blog anyways. I hear from some that I need to do it, so here I am, in my classroom- blogging. This picture is Jonny at Jen and Chris Yaney's home in Kentucky. He absolutely loved Jen and spending the weekend with her. Jonathan has been busy with his business and Baby Jonathan. I'm teaching part time at UBA and loving on baby. :)

This is our FIRST family picture together!! We felt like we should get one done, and with Jonathan's work schedule, it seemed like our baby was going to have babies of his own by the time Jonathan worked it in. But alas, it happened, and we were pleased. Great things have been happening in our family, baby Jonathan, is eating baby foods-- he HATES, utterly LOATHES peas, but chows down on the sweet potatoes. He rolled over April 28th. And at the beginning of May he showed his rolling skills by rolling off the bed.. His dare devil stunt put a bruise by his eye, cut his foot, and a scrape on his head... Needless to say, I was scared.. He was crying when we raced in the room and I screamed, "Where did he go?!" Jonathan still makes fun of me for my dumb comment. We had other parenting "issues" too. Like a son who HATES his pacifier and LOVES his thumb. So Janella told me to put socks on his hands when he goes to sleep. Her mom did it for her (like a week ago...lol) and it made her stop when she kept sucking on sock.. Well, we tried it, and in the morning-- Jonny had wiggled BOTH socks off and had his thumb in his mouth. Absolutely CRAZY!! We love our little guy, and he knows it too. Sometimes, when he is in his jumperoo, he cries and cries, we walk over to him to pick him up, and he stops and smiles.... stinker... And this is only the beginning..... I can't wait to see how this baby is going to be as he gets older!!!!

Some time well spent in the car

These four pics are crazy faces i requested on our ride to the Great American Steak and Buffet. I think some are close to the original look but I will let you decide who.

Some pics of the chalet, i waited till the next day to take pics, so I didn't venture into anyones room but ours... it is a huge place with nice views and lots to do..

Monkeying around

I guess when you stay around a chalet for too long of a time and there is someone with any amount of energy, crazy things can happen. Here's Jonathan getting restless and climbing around. He got yelled at so much...
