Jonathan at 7 mths

-Jonathan has become an EXPERT army crawler.  Although most the time he squeals in discontent as he slithers his body over the cold hard tile he is still determined to get himself from point A to point B.
-He is now starting to get into things he is not suppose too.  The glass doors on our fireplace are taking their second beating and more plug covers had to be installed due to his curiosity.
-He mimics Isaiah.  Isaiah is enthralled with cars right now so toy cars are littered throughout our house.  Jonathan will army crawl over to one and start moving it back and forth.  
-He is a maniac during his evening bath.  We start him out in the bath water on his back and only half a second later he has flipped himself over on his tummy and has started "spinning donuts" and wildly splashing.
-Bedtime is at 8pm with a 6 oz bottle.  Then it is up every night at 1 AM to drink another 6 oz bottle.
-He takes two naps a day.  Mid morning and mid afternoon.
-He is wearing 12 mth clothing.
-He loves orange slices.
-He is up every morning by 6 AM.
-He is a SQUEALER!  He screams when he is happy and when he is mad.
-You can still get him to smile at the drop of a hat.  One look at this boy and a smile is what you get in return.

We are so FORTUNATE to have Jonathan as our son.  His presence in our home brings our little family such joy and happiness.  We are so lucky to have HIM.  WE LOVE YOU "JOHN-NAN" (What Isaiah calls him)!!!

J & I at 6 months

Jonathan and Isaiah are so different yet so similar.  Isaiah was crawling at six months while we are still waiting on Jonathan's crawling debut.  Isaiah was still waking up countless times during the night while Jonathan only wakes up once.  As Jonathan is getting older he is getting more of that feisty personality that Isaiah has always possessed.  I love my two little handsome men.  Posting this picture of Isaiah makes me realize how fast the time goes...and I'm OK with Jonathan taking his dear sweet time learning to crawl.  

Hello Terrible Two's

The cliche's are all true.  Two-year-old's are over the top with their whining, crying, and quick tempers.   I have one moody child on my hands and I have the pictures to prove it.  All I can say is thank goodness I am doing this "child rearing" in my thirties because there is no way I had the patience in my twenties to take on a day with my cranky, beastly two-year-old Isaiah.  ***I've also been warned that this is a great precursor to how he will be as a teenager.  Lord, help me!

Our first Convo-Isaiah at 24 mths

Isaiah's language skills keep getting stronger and stronger ever week.  Two weeks ago I was in awe when Isaiah and I just had our first real yet (brief) conversation together.  As I stood at my bathroom mirror getting ready for the day Isaiah was watching a cartoon on my bed.  Ten minutes prior I had just put Jonathan down for his first morning nap.   Isaiah goes, "Mama, Mama?"  I responded, "Yes, Isaiah?"  He then goes, " Mama, where Johnjohn?" Me:  He's sleeping.  Isaiah-"oh," followed by a huge grin.  I could tell he was so proud of himself for being able to ask his question and get an answer.  I love being able to communicate with my little man.

PS The mark in between Isaiah's eyes is not from me or my camera.  Ironically I was planning on taking the boys in to get some professional photos but the night before Isaiah ran smack dab into the corner of  one of our book shelves. Needless to say the photo appointment was cancelled.  

Photo Bombing

This picture cracks me up every time I see it.  I think it sums up the life of a second child.  Here I am trying to get some six month photos of Jonathan when who suddenly appears?  Big Bro is always trying to steal the spot light. . .LOL!

New Boy, New Toy

Jonathan wants to move around so badly I thought a baby walker might make him happy.  Unfortunately his legs are still to short for it so in the meantime Isaiah has been pushing him around making it more like his wheel chair than walker?!? Either way Jonathan is getting a kick out of his new toy.  I'm just happy to say this ITEM was specifically bought for Jonathan.  Jonathan has taken seconds on the nursery and all the other baby gear so I was happy to finally give him something of his own...albeit an extravagant toy from Walmart but hey it's a start!
PS-The redness in between Jonathan's eyes is from me accidently whamming him with the camera lens. . .thankfully he has one solid head like his big bro:)

Change Much-"J's Turn"

If you remember this post Change Much? you will be remember how intrigued I was with the dramatic change that occurred in Isaiah from the age of one month to six months.  The same holds true with Jonathan.  Jonathan's looks and movements may have changed but he is still the sweet, relaxed, and happy go lucky baby I met six months ago.
