Jonathan is doing so well! His favorite trick is standing up for a few seconds on his own, then letting Mom or Dad catch him. He can pull himself into a seated postion just by pulling on our fingers. He can also sit for a minute or so on his own and reach for something with his hands while sitting! He loves to talk talk talk about everything he sees, and is very easily distracted by any sound, which can make eating-time somewhat challenging! He also squeals just to hear his own voice and chatters to get our attention instead of only crying.
He is down to one midnight feeding, which means I should be getting more sleep in the near future. He is also ready to start eating more than just that boring cereal, as evidenced by his pitiful stares at our food as we eat.
His favorite toy is still Curious George, but his favorite story is Winnie the Pooh. He thinks Piglet is especially funny. I don't know why.
He now notices other kids and loves when the older ones come over to play with him and tickle him. They get bigger grins out of him than Chris or I do! He loves to be tossed in the air or swung down low to the ground. I think the fact I was driving a Corvette during the first week of my pregnancy had an effect on his love of movement, somehow :).
We have been out and about a lot and here are some pictures of our adventures!
In this first series, you can see him testing his limits. Already the phrase "Boys will be boys" applies!
Yummy! A faucet!
What do you mean I can't eat it?
I'm gonna do it anyway, Mom!
This is his face when he sees me approaching. How can I resist?
He is still a little guy. Check out the saggy pants! They are even size 3-6 months.
He was laughing so much when I was reading Winnie the Pooh, he was making ME laugh too much to continue!
He is so interested in our drinks, we gave him some water to try it out and he is surprisingly good at drinking from a cup with very little mess!
These are some of him helping us pick out and put up a tree! He is good luck even while sleeping. We found a great one in 10 minutes. He even helped Dad put up the lights outside.

We went to the zoo with Kathleen, Ella and Nathan recently.
Nathan is about 2 months older than Jonathan.
Ella riding the carousel after asking all day!
Kasih, the one year old orangutan. She was really cute.
