8 Months...Better Late Then Never!

Jonathan turned 8 months on June 17th.  He weighed around 19 pounds and his newest trick was standing up.  He started pulling up in his crib regularly (as you can see, he is very proud of himself when he does . . . ).  He also moved on from random screeches and started making consonant sounds ("ma-ma, ba-ba, da da, ga ga . . . "). 

Wrestling with Daddy.  

This was our first experience with prunes.  We won't ever give them to him again unless there is a clear reason, because boy they get "things" moving! 

Andy went out of town to two different conferences in May and June.  To help pass the time by ourselves Jonathan and I spent quite a bit of time at the park.  

Jonathan loves taking baths. This month he started splashing a lot and playing with his bath toys.

More mealtime fun . . . . .

Andy's small group had a celebration for us to welcome Jonathan. 

More playtime . . .

Our good friends Sara and Jason invited us to a Dayton Dragon's game, so this was Jonathan's first baseball game.  

Jonathan's first experience in a kiddie pool.  He loved it!

Here we are swimming at the UD recplex.  Jonathan loved his first experience in the big pool.  

Isn't that a sweet sleeping boy?  Now if only he would sleep in this crib all night!

Clowning around with pants on his head . . . and probably about to "pet" Max. 

Max is very kind not to retaliate when Jonathan grabs him.

Andy's birthday was June 11th.  Here is a shot of the birthday boy with his boy.  

On the way to bath time.  

I am always looking for new ways to entertain Jonathan, so here I decided to let him help with the laundry.  

See you next time!
