6 months plus

Good news! Mommy has Wednesdays off now, we love having this extra day together :).

Quite a bit has happened since our last progress report:
First things first, this is so exciting! Last night mommy noticed that Jonah knows how to clap,not just randomly, but when we say "yay!" after a big bite of food. It's ridiculously cute.

January 3rd Jonah cut his first tooth and now there's a second one! Both are on the bottom and are quite adorable. No picture yet but we'll keep trying.

Jonah can roll and roll and roll. That's the preferred method of transport these days. He wants to crawl so bad, maybe next week we'll see some of that. Still talking frequently in his own language. Jonah had his 6 month check up, he's in the 80th percentile for height and 40th for weight...my lil stringbean.

He will be 7 months on the 20th!

Christmas was fantastic, we have every toy that exists for babies so we're set for a while. Uncle Ronnie came to visit from Cali too!

Here are some shots from the holidays...

The Holidays with baby.

UPDATE: I will be updating more frequently but for now the following post is from 12/14/10...
Sorry it's been such a long time since our last post! Extra time is rare these days. Jonah has been an excellent shopping companion but can only stay out a couple hours at a time which means the Dukes have done a lot of online shopping this year.

Since our last post Jonah had his first Halloween, Thanksgiving and black Friday. He starting eating rice cereal and had his first vegetable, sweet potato, on Thanksgiving! He loves them. He prefers sweet potato much more to carrots.

Some on Jonah's development. Jonah has been talking a lot lately. He puts his chin to his chest and likes to go "ba ba ba ba ba". He now can roll over easily from tummy to back (he hates being on this stomach!) and from back to tummy by grabbing onto something. Not sitting up by himself yet but that is quickly approaching! He is crunchmaster right now. He is reaching for people now too!

Here are his current likes and dislikes.
Likes: farting noises, mommy acting like she's passing out from his stinky feet, peekaboo, grabbing everything that mommy and daddy are holding, grabbing grandma's face, being held (all of the time), jumping in his jumparoo, being tickled, mommy acting like a zombie and "eating" his neck, funny faces and voices and being sung to.
Dislikes: generally being strapped down (swing, bouncer, carseat) he is bucking out of everything, having his face wiped clean, carrots, strangers, laying down, and it seems like he gets frustrated when his toys don't produce milk for him.

4 month check up

Grabbing a quick minute to update since everyone else is napping right now. 

Thursday, Jonah had his 4 month check up. He's 25 inches long and weighs 15 lbs. He was SUCH a trooper! We decided to go ahead with vaccinations esp since the latest outbreak of pertussis. He handled it so well and only cried for a couple seconds. 

Tonight we're all going to the Websters Halloween party, I'll post pix later of our skeleton costumes. Here are some Halloween shots until next time!xo
