Success!

Jonah hasn't been a big fan of the swing..but he was sleepy today so I thought I would throw him in it and see if he'd nap a little. SUCCESS! 

He put up a good fight...

...but no one can resist the super soft vibrating bouncy seat.

Hanging out with big brother Indy

So Jonah was happily playing on his play mat and Indy our 98lb ridgeback decided to take a snooze right next to him. The dogs don't seem to mind the new little squeaky moving thing that has entered their lives. We'll see how it goes when he starts trying to steal their toys :) Mom will be a busy one then!

Best place to sleep....?

Jonah's REAL photo shoot

So as a baby gift, we got a gift card to go to a professional photographer for Jonah's baby pics. She just posted a few of the photos on her blog..we'll get the full gallery next week to pick from, but if you're interested check out her blog. She was great and takes awesome photos..so if you are in the Baltimore area, we TOTALLY recommend her!

In laws

My in-laws are the best, they come by about every week and bring me lunch or come and bring dinner, which is a huge help. Heres Jonah hanging out with 'pop pop'.

Playtime

So we pulled out Jonah's playmat to test it out. Jonah seemed to really like it. Not sure how much he can focus on, but the hanging toys are pretty close. He hung out on it for about 20 min making the most awesome ooh and ahh sounds and kicking his feet. I think I had the most fun just watching him. I even was smart enough to grab the video camera to catch the noises hes making...everyone says they grow up so fast so I want to make sure I record it now!

If you notice how bottom heavy he looks..we're using cloth diapers. Its so funny when we occasionally put him in a disposable, he looks so much smaller ;)

Coolest baby gift

So we have gotten some awesome baby gifts from all of our friends, but one of our friends, Natacha and Matt, recently sent us what I would consider one of the coolest gifts we've received and extremely appropriate for Jon and me.... a bicycle made of diapers, bottles, socks (etc)!! How cool is that?!

A little older

Jonah is now over 2 weeks and is already starting to be more alert and be awake for slightly longer periods of time. Its fun when hes awake and fun to watch him when he will focus on something. We are looking forward to when he starts responding to us, but for now we'll take the occasional smirk.. although right now, we know its just gas ;)

Hanging out with dad.

Happy baby.

We call this the milk stupor or drunk baby..just ate and is happy and passed out.
