great small things: jonah

It's crazy that Jonah already hit the 3 month mark...a quarter of a year! He is growing up a lot faster than Tobey it seems. Jonah is just such a pleasant little guy! Or big guy, depending on how you look at it. In fact, he was 14 lbs and 4 ozs last week on the day he turned 3 months. He measured him too, and he was 25.5 inches long! (Funny story about the day he turned 3 months: We were on our way to the peds, and I heard Tobey talking to Jonah in the backseat..."We don't know where we are going"..."Don't be scared, Jonah". I asked Tobey what Jonah was scared of, and he told me Jonah was scared of trees falling down...No Tobey, YOU are scared of trees falling down!)

Anyways, back to Jonah. Right close to the end of the month, he started reaching for objects! He loves his links and bouncer chair! His eyes follow people around the room as they move and as he hears voices. He is doing pretty well at night. Sometimes, he only gets up once during the night, but it is usually 2 or 3 times, and then he'll go right back to sleep. I'm usually only up with him for about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to put himself to sleep which makes first putting him down in the evening difficult and which is probably why he only takes 45 minute naps...usually 5 of them during the day! (This is what Tobey did too, and I swore I would not rely on sleep crutches this time...but I did! With Tobey it was rocking, and with Jonah it's nursing.) But we plan to work on that soon...

Jonah also got baptized this month! I wish I had pictures, but they are on my in-laws camera. Hopefully I'll get them soon.

I can't really think of anything else new, but I'm sure there will be more new stuff just around the bend! Here are some pictures of his third month!
