Last Drop

Aunt Niki has helped Jonathan cultivate his love for music (especially rap, much to Michael's dismay). Here's the latest he's learned from her. (Don't worry it's a Sprite bottle)

Babysitter

This morning we were playing up at grandpa's and it was getting close to lunchtime. My dad asked me if I wanted to go grab a pizza and he'd stay and watch Jonathan. I said sure, but asked him to please make sure Jonathan didn't fall asleep (he was up at 4:30 this morning and I wanted him to make it to naptime). My dad agreed and off I went. I got home less than 15 min later to this. I guess next time I should include that my dad also should stay awake. :-) 

Blanket

We're at Celeste's house watching Elmo in her basement. It's a little chilly so Celeste asked Jonathan if he wanted a blanket. He said "yes" and without taking his eyes off the tv he grabbed this pillow and put it on his lap. :-)

Big Boy

Michael and I decided a couple of weeks ago that we wanted to get rid of Jonathan's paci. Last week I finally took the plunge and cut a hole in the top of his paci. He wasn't a big fan, but he still used it. He asked a couple times for a "new one." It's been a rough week of sleeping and he has gone more than half of the days without naps. I was starting to question my timing, but after talking to Tina, my sister-in-law, I decided to keep with it. This morning I cut the paci in half so it split like a banana and when he found it he kept saying it was "broke." He then threw it in the garbage. And here he is after his nap (that he actually took today!!). He took a nap today without his paci!

Busted

Jonathan pushed the bar stool around to get into Niki's drawer that she keeps her iPod, speakers and headphones in. I guess he knows how to get what he wants.

Notice in the second picture how the cord that is hooked into the iPod is white and the headphone cord is black? The music was playing on the speakers but he just loves those headphone. :-)

Rainy Day

This morning Jonathan learned to hold an umbrella. He loved our walk in the rain!

Update

Now he is sharing his iPad time with Elmo making sure he can see. And snuggling him so close! He is so nice!
