Got Snow? Use It! First Sled Ride

Jonas received two major transport upgrades from family members. Gamma n Gampa T thought Jonas needed to enjoy all the snow that we have in Jonas's first winter. Jonas took the sled for its first spin to his friend Cory's house to deliver Cory's present. Jonas really enjoyed the ride and the non-obstructed view his sled provided. Jonas's Dad (The Sled Engine) is sporting some new gear also. (You might have noticed the tags hanging off his clothes.)

A few "standard" portraits of Jonas's loving family.

Christmas IV Grandparent Induced Giggles

The final straw in the hat of the holiday season for Jonas 2007 was Christmas IV. Jonas had more than enjoyed himself at the previous celebrations, but we just happend to catch a giggle from his Gamma and Gampa Tangen acting silly!

Xmas with the Fredricksons!

Jonas made his second trip to the Milwaukee area in five days to celebrate Christmas with the Fredricksons. Jonas was intrigued with all the little rugrats running around and was in a good mood throughout due to the entertainment. Turns out that, according to Great Grandma Fred, Jonas has such an amiable personality due to my large consumption of dark chocolate while pregnant. I think I'll continue this theory and keep it up because it must reach him through the milk, too, right? Jonas, being large and in charge, dwarfed a one year old, a two year old, and almost was as big as a three year old in attendance. Good job, buddy.

Jonas did pretty well with all his travels and irregular schedule. He enjoyed his time smiling with relatives. He still has a few more journeys to make this holiday season.

Sailing Away

Jonas was introduced to the open ocean from his neighbors the Dotts. Fresh off a stint around South America in "The Footsteps of Darwin" Bob and Nancy presented the SS JONAS. Jonas christened the ship by gnawing the hull of the mighty vessel. The SS JONAS is personalized for Jonas. It includes pictures of the hounds, Jonas's birthdate, his birth address, apples and books for his parents the teachers, and the fact that Jonas is legend-dairy.

Giggles

It's probably hard to judge who is having more fun, the parents or the baby. Jonas was laughing for about ten minutes straight. What was making him laugh? Dad was yelping "Setup the toys tonight?" in a very-high-pictched and fast paced manner (While hopping up and down). I don't know if Jonas knew what I was talking about, because he was at the store when we bought his new toy. Jonas was sleeping at the store, so we think the toy will be a surprise.
