It's my birthday!

I was born on this day one year ago at 4:24pm weighing 8lbs 12oz, 21.5 inches. I got weighed this week and I am now 23lbs 15oz and 31 inches. Boy have I grown!

Been sick here lately!

Wanted to update everyone on Jonas's health. This past weekend we noticed he wasn't himself, even at his birthday party. Then on Sunday he had a fever. Come Tuesday when I picked him up from daycare, he was lying in his crib with no paci (and that is unlike him) not even crying. He didn't respond when I walked in to pick him up and he usually gets real excited. The daycare worker said he had eaten well, but seemed to not be feeling good. I passed him off to my mom and on the way back to her house, he vomited a few times while in his carseat. She was by herself and stuck in traffic and the vomit was everywhere. After getting cleaned up, he went down for a nap and woke again a few hours later and vomited again. Jason took him back to our house and he slept through the night. This morning he drank some pedialyte and then went back down for a 5 hour nap. We had a doctor's appt this afternoon and the doc seems to think it's just a cold and that Jonas being in daycare will cause him to continue with this crud stuff. We did get an antibiotic for his nose and ears, so hopefully that will relieve him long enough to enjoy his birthday and Christmas.
If you are a parent, you know that any little sickness can really irritate your child and can cause you to stress. I stayed home from work today until my mom got off to keep Jonas. He seems much better this afternoon!

More birthday party pics!

My actual birthday is December 22 and will probably do something small on that day too. This was my big party though! I had a blast and fell asleep fast because I was soooo tired from all the fun. Thanks for sharing this BIG moment with me! LOVE, Jonas
p.s. oh yeah, i am wearing my daddy's t-shirt that was his when he was my age. i really like it and it's soft too. that means it is 28 years old!

My First Birthday Party!

Oh weeeeee! Tonight we celebrated my first birthday with close family and friends. Thank you for coming & making me feel so special. The theme was puppy dogs in honor of my pet Millie. We had cake, cupcakes, hotdogs, chili, and other fun goodies to snack on. There were great presents too, but I was not interested in helping mommy open them. I played with my friend Abby instead. Thank you for the clothes, leap frog activity center, walk/ride toy, puzzle, book, etc and so much more for me to get into. You guys are the best & I know that I am loved very much! Here are pictures of us celebrating. Mostly me eating my cake! Yummy!

I love Mamaw Dorothy!

The past 2 weeks have been so much fun to have my great-grandmother around. She has cooked lots of great meals including one of my new favs turnip greens. Yeah, I know that sounds gross, but I really like them. She also made tea cakes a couple of times and I loved snacking on them too. We went shopping together, looking at Christmas lights, and she helped keep me from getting into Su-su's cabinets. She also knit me the warmest blanket that will be perfect for me & my size. Thank you for taking the time to make it for me. Mamaw Dorothy, you give the best kisses! I love you and will miss not seeing you everyday!

Family Photos

We finally did professional pictures for Jonas turning 1 last weekend. EXCEPT that Jonas was soooo sleepy and fell asleep during the shoot. We were able to capture a few good pics of him.

Cutting the Christmas Tree!

What fun we had today! We went to a Christmas tree farm and cut down our very own tree. Dad is so strong and did a great job choosing our tree. I even got to help. What will I think about decorating it? You will have to find out later...... Okay, so I ended up falling asleep early tonight and mom & dad finished decorating the tree. I was dreaming about it though :)

Playing with Ava

I met Ava for the first time this weekend. Our mommies went shopping together and then we got to PLAY! We even traded kisses. Thank you for being so sweet while we shopped, Ava, and setting a good example for me. Maybe I won't cry so much the next time.

Millie is my best friend!

Of course these pics are not in the order they should be! We painted a dog on a plate using Jonas's feet as the ears for his first birthday party. Here are pics of Jonas getting his feet painted, putting them on the plate, and our final plate after it was fired. Our birthday theme this year is in honor of our pet Millie since Jonas loves hanging out with her. Jonas also likes to lie on her bed (which is gross) but it makes cute pics! We took 1year pics today and hopefully I will be able to put them on here soon.

Fun Times

Here I am wearing my USM hat!


My first time playing with a balloon!


Being a ham for the camera!


"Oh yeah..... the spoon is good!"

I love to eat!

Jonas had his swallow eval this past week and everything turned out good. Basically we need to introduce more solid/table foods on a regular basis. The speech path. has us feeding Jonas 4 solid meals along with his 4 bottles he gets daily. We don't quite make the 4 meals, but we are doing lots better. Jonas even started drinking from his sippy cup this week. He likes eating anything that you put in front of him. Some of his latest favs are chocolate pudding, buttery crackers, mashed taters, green beans, and peaches. Here are some pics of Jonas eating peas & rice.
