Our House is a Playground

Jonah is crawling all over the place now and very quickly. Because of this, he's been falling asleep on our evenings walks- I think he wears himself out during the day!

Here he is playing on the floor in the kitchen while I cook dinner. No, he doesn't stay on the blanket- of course not! The broom is the most attractive item in the room, so I've had to move it out of his sight.

Of course he LOVES playing under the coffee table in the living room, but he's had a few bumps as a result.

So every morning before Luke leaves for work, he transforms the living room into a safe and spacious closed-in playground.

And Jonah loves it!

Here's Jonah at a typical meal time. We always need three spoons. When you give him the first spoonful of food, he grabs the spoon with one hand. So you take a new spoon and give him the next bite. He grabs that spoon with his other hand. That's when you move onto the third spoon, which he cannot grab. Thus we're all happy at mealtime!

Storytime last night. We have a new book called No Matter What. He doesn't love it as much as That's Not My Bunny, but he's getting there.
I took Jonah for a walk last night, and he fell asleep right away. When we got back, Luke took him out of the stroller and they napped together on the couch. Isn't this precious?

This video shows Jonah's standing progress. The plastic tub (which holds all his toys) is his favorite toy right now. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

He's so sweet. I like how he looks up at you while you're reading. I wonder what he's thinking...

The 3-spoons thing is super cute! =) Too funny! You always have to stay one step ahead, hey?
