Little Joker

Look at my new teeth! My big grin is because I am lovin' these prunes! (gross!) Brent said he looks like The Joker in this picture....what a cutie!

Jonah's menu samples so far have been:

Sweet Potatoes - LOVE 'em

Sweet Peas - They're OK

Carrots - Eh, OK, too.

Squash - Not so much...

Turkey - Gag a maggot!

Pears - Like 'em

Bananas - LOVE 'em

Applesauce - Pretty tasty

Prunes - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE 'em!

This week we're trying Green Beans & Peaches. Mmmm, Mmmm, Good! :)

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

We started Jonah on solid food a few weeks ago and I think we've created a monster. He's like a little billy goat; eating everything in his path! Here's a few pictures of his first taste of "real food" (which happened to look like fish food flakes....num, num) and he L-O-V-E-D it! His first bite was like uh....what's this crap....second bite....he pushed it around in his mouth a while....and his third bite was like BRING IT. lol

There's gotta be just a little bit more in here......

Y'all know this look. Think: An hour after Thanksgiving dinner, and you wish you had your stretchy pants.

This picture is from yesterday (4/18) when we gave him a banana in his little food pouch. He gnawed on it until it was gone. He had bananas in his hair, his armpits, his ears, and his eyelashes. That was a yummy nanner! :) Look at those baby blues, would ya??? He's the most handsome kid I've ever seen.

Look at me GROW!

Sheesh, I missed blogging in March and I have a lot to update this month! Jonah is now 5 months old and growing too fast! Let's rewind for a moment so I can catch you up because a lot has happened....

At Jonah's 4 month well baby Dr's visit he was right at 17lbs! Dr. Sami was asking the standard questions with his back to us: Does he follow you with his eyes? Does he turn towards sounds? Can he push up with his arms if he's on his tummy? He didn't actually finish the last question because he was saying it as he was turning towards us, and he was like WHOA! HE CAN SIT UP! lol Jonah has been trying since he was about 3 1/2 months old to sit up and he finally mastered it at 4 months!

We started solid foods at 4 1/2 months, but that's a whole blog on it's own. The other big event in little man's world is that he's teething! He's getting one tooth on top and one tooth on the bottom. He loves his sitter Mrs. Tonia. We are thrilled to have found her! She keeps 3 other little girls, and she has 3 daughters. Brent calls it Jonah's Harem. lol Even Tonia's hubby Jim is lovey with my little guy. It's because Jonah's so darn cute, I know!! Anyway, here's a video of Jonah and his personal cheerleader, Sami, Tonia's daughter. This was St. Patrick's Day...

Here's my little lucky charm! We are so in love with this little turkey! He brings so much joy to our lives! That's about it for March updates! We took Jonah to some fun events during March. For starters, his Uncle Josh took him to his first Bluegrass Festival! Jonah was so good! We were there for about 5 hours! We had a nice time and can't wait to hang out with Uncle Josh again soon! Jonah went to his first birthday party. It was a 70's theme amd Jonah was a little rockstar! He definitely had some groupies! hehe

Here's some more pictures...
