Many faces

Two Months Old

Time flies when you are having fun.  Jonah is over two months old now.

 Here are some things he enjoys.

swinging in his swing

holding his head up

looking left and right non-stop

laying on Daddy's legs to look up at him

having conversations with us (loves when we talk to him)

sticking his tongue out

laying on his belly in daytime for naps

going on walks

when Mommy says "Jonah/Momma"

lots of smiling and cooing

I took the two month photos this time.  Not as good as Nathan, but it's something!

8 Week Check-Up

Our little Jonah Bear had his shots today at his eight week check-up.  He handled them like a champ, with tears and fussiness no worse than when he is super hungry.  Nathan comforted him and he settled down after about a minute and a half, tops!  He is resting comfortably in his swing now.  I am hoping he handles it good as the day progresses, since Daddy is mowing.  We decided for this first set not to give Tylenol before, and see how he takes.  The doctor only recommended it if he had fever and was fussy.  We will keep an eye on him and see how he handles it first. 

Here are his stats from the last visit:

Four week check-up:

9 pounds, 6 ounces!!!

21 1/4 inches long

 

Here are his stats from his  visit today:

Eight week check-up:

 11 pounds, 7 ounces

22 3/4 inches long

She said to expect him to start sleeping more through the night soon!  He is about the weight they tend to do so.  We will post more about his likes and interests with his two month old pictures we will take in two days!  Thanks for checking on our little Jonah!  He's sweet!

The four photos on top are before shots.  The four on bottom are after shots. :)

Our First Grandparents' Day

Jonah had a great weekend!  He had many firsts...his first trip to Nana and Grandpa Doyle's house Friday night!  I didn't get any pictures of that trip.  He also had his first Grandparents' Day Sunday.  We celebrated with all the grandparents at our house for a cookout.  It was a great day!  I hope he can get his first trip to Grandma Debbie and Poppy's house in the near future, too! 

All Smiles

Lately, Jonah has been smiling like crazy!!!  He has been smiling for a while, but it is a bigger smile and is usually accompanied by a cute giggle.  It's the cutest thing ever!  It has been so sweet talking to Jonah because he talks (coos) back at us and responds.  He really likes when we converse with him.  HAHA  It melts our heart that when we come into his line of vision, he recognizes us now, and smiles great big with his open mouth smile.  Here are some precious pictures I have capture the last couple days. 

He was making an "ooooooh" sound here!

 

 

Cooler temps mean we can do our walks again!  We went last night and this morning!  He stayed awake the whole time last night and was smiling the whole way.  Cutie!

 

Bouncing in his bouncer

Being cute when I was changing him

 

Sports Fan!

Starting off early loving the sports!

Hi There!

Hi There!  It's been a while.

Look-a-likes

Sometimes I look like my momma...

And sometimes I look like my daddy!

Some poses

Jonah has the best poses and faces. 

Happy Birthday, Uncle Tommy!

Mommy's Copycat

Jonah's new thing he has discovered is his tongue.  I will stick my tongue out at him and hold it out and he will start moving his tongue out.  It's so cute because when I do it he isn't messing with his tongue to begin with!!!  I love my copycat!

Our little one monther!

Happy One Month
to our Jonah Bear!  August 13th Jonah turned one month.  We celebrated with a photoshoot with Daddy!  Here are some stats on Jonah from when he was born and the 4 weeks doctor visit.

7 pounds, 5 ounces and 20.5 inches long at hospital

7, 2 when we left hospital

7 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 inches long at first doctor appointment at 6 days old

Four week check-up:

9 pounds, 6 ounces!!!

21 1/4 inches long 

He's a growin'!

Here's a picture of Jonah at his first doctor visit at 6 days and his next one at 4 weeks!  He has two different outfits for the 6 day one because he peed on his outfit right before we left! HAHA!!!

Jonah has grown so much in just one month. He usually eats 2 1/2-4 oz. every 2 1/2-3 hours in the daytime and every 4 hours at night.  He still naps lots, but is awake and alert for longer periods of time now. 

Some things he loves at one month:

sticking his tongue out 

tummy time on his activity mat from Uncle Sam and Aunt Amber

swinging in his swing from Nana and Grandpa Doyle

cuddle time on mommy and daddy's chest

lifting his head and changing from side to side (just recently has gotten really good at this)

bath time in the big whale tub

going on walks in his stroller from Grandma Debbie and Aunt Jenna

Here are some shots that Nathan took on his one month birthday! :)

a few seconds of cuteness

I want to do a one month blog, but I'm waiting on Nathan to edit the pictures.  So this can hold you over hopefully until then.  I love watching this kid fall asleep.  He's hilarious!!!!

Weekend Fun

We had a fun-filled weekend with lots of firsts!  Friday, Nana (Nathan's mom) and I took Jonah to his four week check-up.  More on that tomorrow with his special one month blog post. :)  But, here's a cute picture while Jonah was waiting for the doctor, to hold you over.

Saturday, Nathan's four cousins came over for a visit.  I know Nathan enjoyed the visit!  Grandma Debbie and Poppy (my mom and dad) came down for a visit, too.  They brought my Aunt Denise, cousin Vicki, and her son (my godson), Logan!  It was the first time Aunt Denise, Vicki, and Logan met Jonah, so it was exciting.  Logan seemed to ignore Jonah for a lot of the day.  Vicki and I made the mistake of putting his Curious George and Mickey Mouse dolls in Jonah's bouncer.  So, when we took them out and had Jonah sitting in there, he looked pretty confused, like "hey, that's for my friends!"  As the day went on, Logan seemed to be more interested in Jonah, and by the time they left, they were best buds having a pajama party.  If they take after their moms, then they are going to have some good times ahead of them and be really close!

Nathan and I finally ventured out and used the whale bathtub.  We filled the whale tub with water and just kept it on the vanity near the sink, making it much easier, than leaning over the tub and having to hold on to Jonah.  He loves the whale tub and it seems to be so much easier than sponge bathing!  We are so glad we have had two successful baths in it. 

Tomorrow, our little man turns one month old!  Hard to believe it, but he's definitely growing and a very healthy boy.  We are so blessed and look forward to many more exciting milestones along the way!
