Learning

Jonathan loves to move but he doesn't know the art of crawling around things or people he just goes on top- that is what he is doing here. He went right over Dave's leg!

Jonathan is learning to kneel and play. We are hoping that his leg muscle get stronger so that he can crawl on his knees. Some people in my family call his crawl now- the army crawl or the spiderman crawl. He loves this Piano- Thanks to Kristi and Jason for the great find- it sure is worth 3 bucks!

Being with Mommy

Jonathan loves to be with me. So it is so nice that he can get round, cause he just follows me when I am cleaning and putting things away he is trying me be with me. He makes these cute little sounds, little he is working hard to get to me and then I turn or go some where else. This is a picture of Jonathan in the kitchen, he is at my feet while I am cooking dinner, just playing with himself and content being next to Mommy!

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!
