Dave's 26th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
I love this picture Jonathan is wearing a new outfit to church doesn't he look adorable!
This year I attempted to make an ice cream cake for Dave- it was very rich! Dave had a good birthday! I think that one of his favorite presents was the game ticket to ride. When we were in California we learned to play this game at the Youngberg's and Dave loved it! So I got it for him- we played it 4 times on his birthday! We love you!

Jonathan is 9 months

It has been a long time since I have updated my blog- it has just seem to get away from me! Jonathan is growing and learning tons right now! In the above picture Jonathan is drinking from a cup- but it is formula. i have had problems with Jonathan and eating he just isn't a big eater. I have this nurse that comes in monthly and she gave me this idea to put formula instead of water when he is eating his finger foods. And he loves it- he loves to feel like he is big!
Jonathan loves to just be in his diaper- and since it is hot I just let him- since last week! Jonathan has started to learn to scoot, and so he started getting a carpet burn on his tummy, so I thought maybe its not such a great idea. But this was the kicker! Last week, I was in the kitchen and Jonathan was moving and playin' and I would periodically look t him. While this one time I looked over and he had the diaper in his hand and was waving it! I said Jonathan David and then i just started to laugh! He is a smart boy!
Well, over a week a go. Jonathan learned how to push with his legs and reach for a toy (and books esp he loves). Then it just kept evolving through the week and he was moving with his forearms and legs. At first he would stay in the family room, but on Sunday he learned that there is more to the house then the family room and started to adventure out in the dinning area! It is so fun to watch him play and enjoy himself! I am sure that he will be crawling in no time!

Happy 4th of July

This was Jonathan's first 4th! He loved the fireworks! We went to the city parade with my family. (Side note Dad wore shorts for the first time in a very long time!) We rode our bikes so that we didn't have to fight the crowds. We put Jonathan in the trailer which he just loves! Then later that day we celebrated Grandmas birthday! And then we had a BBQ at my parents house. Amy and Ryan we up and so we were able to met Drew for the first time. He is all over the place. Abby, Jonathan, and Drew had fun together- they are all born within three months of each other! Then we went over to Kristi's and was going to have a lot of firework fun- but we had a run in with the law so there went our fireworks fun! We had root beer floats! We went home, but on our street there is this family that does fireworks from Wyoming- and theirs are awesome. We walked over there and Jonathan loved them! (Pictures will come!)

Rolling!!!

It was an exciting day for Dave and I! Well, I got home from work and Dave said that they had some exciting news to tell me! Jonathan finally knows how to roll from his tummy to his back to his tummy. Jonathan for a long time could roll from his tummy to his back, but from his back to his tummy was a different story! I would work with him so much- he would lay on his side, and sometimes I would try to help him with his leg- but he would just got back to his back. ON vacation he was closer then he has ever been. And then today was the day! So when I got home- Jonathan showed me his moves. It was so much fun! It took him a while to figure it out, but he did it! His nap and when I just checked on him- he is on complete different sides of the crib! He loves to move now- and I know it will just get better!
