Happy? Halloween

Jonas finally realized there was a mobile on top of his swing!

Baby bedhead

Jonas has been sleeping like a champ at night (knock on wood). His newest trick is when he wakes up in the morning. He makes little cooing noises and I go in and say, "Good morning sweet pea" and he gives me a smile. Who could resist this little bedhead?

Get your walk on...

A favorite part of the day for the whole family is the daily walk. Here we are in Hoyt Park.

Grandparents visit

It was a busy weekend with all the grandparents visiting. We also celebrated aunt Ashley's birthday a few days early.

Guy Smiley

Finally a real smile caught on film. Happy hump day everyone!

(S)Milestones

Jonas started smiling this week, but usually only on the changing table. Apparently a fresh diaper can feel THAT good. His smile is so elusive that the only picture we've been able to get is blurry and post full-grin, but here it is nonetheless. He also gurgles and coos a bit, pays attention to the cats and dogs if they walk by close enough, and likes to chew his hand while laying on his stomach. Small events to be sure, but big news when not a whole lot else is goin' on!

Jenelle and Paul

Jenelle and Paul stopped by on their way through Madison to see Jonas on Thursday night. Jonas slept through most of the visit, but did show them his splashtastic bath routine before they left. Jenelle and Paul should stop by more often, as they left surprise dilly bars from DQ in the freezer. Thanks, guys!

Hooray for babysitters!

On Friday we needed to escape for some R&R. Jay from across the street came over to watch Jonas for a couple of hours to save Sara's sanity. Next week, we'll watch Cory for Jay and Emily so they can save their own sanity. This way, we can all get out and only have to trade "services". YIPPEE!
