Baby Gets Tatted Up

First tattoo! Megan gave Jonathan his first tattoo on Christmas. He's too fat to be able to see it but we think he's real tough.

It's almost Christmas!

I love this time of year. It's so busy. So much shopping, planning and partying. Yesterday was the first Christmas party. There's another one today. Abi's graduation tonight. A wedding tomorrow. Then we are squeezing in SeaWorld, Bass Pro Shop, a weekend in Itasca, and a New Year's Eve wedding. Oh, and house guests for a week!
We might all need to go shopping and get extra outfits. Jonathan needs to look super cute!

Daycare continues...

Jonathan has almost made it through his first week of daycare. He doesn't like getting dropped off, but he's doing better during the day. He has several little girls helping him adjust. Yesterday, Audrey, a 2 year old, showed him how to hold and feed a baby doll.
Apparently, he knows Spanish. That's what the teacher says. She's speaking mostly Spanish to the kids and he's understanding. Amazing.

He survived daycare

My sweet little Jonathan is growing up. He survived his first day of school. He's at a small, home daycare. There's a max of six kids. He spent his first day with just two little girls.
Miss Sally gave us a two page typed report about his first day. She says he's happy, smart, loves music, and he might be left-handed!
He was brave when Daddy dropped him off. Jon said Jonathan knew what was going down, but put on a brave face and refused to cry until Daddy left. Miss Sally said he broke down and tried to get out a few times.
My sister was able to stay home with him his first 18 months. Now she's in nursing school and had to leave us. Yesterday may have been harder on her.
Daycare will be good for him though. He's ready to socialize.

Just like Daddy

First fire of the season!

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”

This is not dull boy! He loves to play. I took him to Chick-fil-A for lunch. He thought fries and fruit bites were awesome. He sat in the booth next to me chattering and eating.
Then we went to the play area. You would have thought he won the lottery when we walked in there. He was SO excited. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't even climb to the second level of anything, but he had a blast. It was awesome.
