Puffy Coat

I bought this coat last year hoping that it would fit him this winter. I'm happy to report that it will work. It may be a little long,  but it reminds me of my mom's winter coat. Bring on the snow!

Mmmm

One of the joys of life.

Enjoying the Fall

Last Saturday, while we had family in town, we went hiking with grandpa by their house. We had a great time and Jonathan loved playing in the leaves. 

Then yesterday evening Michael and I took Jonathan to a local pumpkin patch. It was cold so we didn't stay very long, but we did manage to get some cute pictures:

New Phone

I got a new phone over the weekend. I'm pretty excited about it. I went from a really old flip phone to a smart phone!  I love it. Michael does too because he can play angry birds anytime he wants. :)

Wow!

This little man took a 4 hour morning nap! And now he can do this: 

It is so fun to see him grow. I was in the kitchen and he was in the other room. I looked over at him and he was on his hands and feet. He looked at me then with a smile walked his hands up a couple steps then stood up! That is a first for him! Then he just kept doing it so I caught it on video. :)

Our Augustus Maywho

Good morning!

Dear Bonig's

Charlie and Nancy I'm sorry my mommy dropped the ball last time we were in Colorado and didn't let you know we were there. I will make sure she tells you next time. Just so you know I think of you often as I play with Mr. Bear!

I love you,

Jonathan

I like to share my toys with him

He tells me secrets

He lets me rest on his shoulder

And I LOVE to play him music

Helping Daddy

Last night I helped daddy put up a new smoke detector. I'll help him with another one tonight! :) 

1 Year Old!!!

Here are some pictures from the all day photo shoot on Jonathan's birthday, October 3rd. Enjoy. :) 

Cake!

Birthday: Part 1

Here is the cute one year old! 

He loved this card from Aunt Kelly and Uncle Nathan... it played a song when he opened it. He walked around the kitchen with it. :)

If You're Happy and You Know It...

Dance like Jonathan! 

My favorite is that he pushes the button, looks at me, smiles, then starts dancing! He sure does LOVE music and dancing!

First Birthday Party!

On Saturday we had Jonathan's first birthday party, it was just a couple days before he actually turns 1. Jonathan's Grandma Patricia and Grandpa Jim were able to drive up from Arizona! 

 We had a Curious George theme. Here is the little man:

Instead of cake we did banana splits

This is the banner I made... sadly it isn't in focus. Sorry!

After having a little lunch we got to open presents:

A card and check from G&G Thresher

Shoes from Niki and Celeste

Coat from Great G&G Harding

His favorite: his own cell phone and keys from Alyson

Bath toys from Michael and me

Panda from G&G Harding

Cute clothes from Alyson

After we opened his presents we played "Pin the Tail or Hat on Jonathan"

Grandpa missed the picture completely

Sadly Grandma's eyes were open and she still missed

Celeste and my mom waited to go last so they could learn the tricks and do it correctly:

Perfect placement of the hat

Perfect placement of the tail

After the game we had ice cream:

Ice cream with  bananas and strawberries

This is while we were singing to him... he LOVED the attention

He loved playing in it, but never quite got down taking a bite... so my mom fed him/let him play

And his new favorite walker:

Thanks Great Grandma Harding!

Thank you everyone who was able to come!
