A Truck, A Pizza, and A Bath

Maria was right... the answer to yesterday's question is the PACIFIER! (Way to go, Maria.) The other day Luke asked me if I knew where it was, and I had to laugh. After 6 months of breaking out into a cold sweat when we couldn't find it, it's funny to wonder where it is and not really care to know one way or the other. Jonah got to a point where he never wanted it anymore- now he just wants Ellie and his thumb. No complaints here.

Yesterday Jonah had a play date with three other kids. The two on the left are Isaac and Isaiah, sons of Kristin Loboda, who went to Steubenville and was actually in Austria the same semester as I was. I'm sure you recognize Mary Kate's daughter, Elizabeth. It was fun. We took the kids in the pool for a little while, and then we had lunch. Jonah was quite taken with the truck.

Yep, he LOVED the truck!

Elizabeth is really close to walking. Jonah is really interested in the truck.

Watching Jonah like this reminded me of Walter playing with his Tonka truck when we lived together in college.

In the afternoon, when Jonah woke up from his nap, we took a little gander over to Luke's office.

Jonah crawled around and found many things to play with.

But his favorite discovery was the tennis ball.

Last night we made pizza, and it was a huge improvement upon the last couple times. Here was our first pizza of three.

"Honey, you're supposed to put the cheese on the PIZZA!"

Ready for our tummies

This is a long blog, isn't it? Well, here's the last part, a few pictures of Jonah's latest toys.

(ha ha ha)

We took this video last night. We wanted you guys to see how Jonah makes his way into the bathroom for his nightly bath. Luke gets Jonah ready in the other room, and when he hears the bath water running, he crawls into the bathroom (I'm talking about Jonah, not Luke.) Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!
