Two Sick Parents= No Bueno

So, Jonah has just gotten over his first cold. Unfortunately his dad and I are now sick. I know I shouldn't have gone to work today but went anyways. After getting home from work I have just gone downhill. I work in a cold room, which I was trying to avoid today but alas I ended back up in there. Someone moved my stuff back in to the refrigerator and took over my spot in the kitchen. I was just so upset cause I should have just stayed in bed. Now I am running a fever and feeling awful. It doesn't help that my husband is also feeling sick, so both of us want to be taken care of but not really possible. It is so hard to try to keep up with a very active ten month old when you feel like death. Jonah did make my day when I got home from work though. As I walked through the door he climbed the stairs and was smiling at me and waiting for me to pick him up. That made my day and made not feeling so hot not so bad. It's like he could sense that I wasn't feeling good and needed some baby love. Those kind of moments make me so happy to be a mommy. Hopefully we kick this sickness out soon.

Thanksgiving '09

So, this was Jonah's first Thanksgiving. We had so much fun. My dad flew in for the holiday, which was awesome and our friend Beth drove up to spend some time with us as well. Beth and I cooked all day while drinking a couple of mamosas. Cause it's not the holidays without having a drink while cooking good food. Our dinner turned out most excellent. Jonah had some turkey dinner with us and of course it got all over his face.

My dad had to leave the day after but not before going out for breakfast at the Farmer's Table. We also ventured out to Best Buy to pick up a new camera. I am so loving it. On Sunday we put up the tree, while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This has become our yearly tradition, while drinking hot cocoa. Jonah loves the tree! He keeps trying to take off all the orniments.

The Crib Challenge

So, we have let our little guy sleep in our bed for way too long. We have been very bad at having Jonah sleep in his room. It is definitely time to get him to sleep in his own room now. He is just so wiggly and it's making us have problems sleeping. It just seems like it is going to be a long journey, to get him to sleep on his own. It is looking kind of like a long road ahead before he sleeps in there willingly. I took me laying down in there with him, to get him to fall asleep. It will be hard but good for all of us, when this is an actual success. I don't know if anyone else has had problems with this, but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

talking and climbing...look out

So, the other morning Adam was changing Jonah and he said," dada." He has been saying it nonstop ever since. He is just so darn cute. So far, this is my favorite age. He is a little person now. I know the teething hasn't been fun, but he is turning into a little boy and it's so cool.
Yesterday I went upstairs to grab something and on my way back down, Jonah was sitting next to the front door. He had climbed from the bottom of the stairs up. He then proceeded to crawl the rest of the stairs where I was. It was totally terrifying but kinda cool. He is most definitely going to be a climber.
I am sure he will be walking in no time. Look out world here comes the Jonah man.

And the Teething Begins

So, lately we have noticed that Jonah has been having swollen gums, chewing on everything, and has bumpy gums. Today I just saw for the first time, his first tooth about to cut through his gums. I am so excited for him but also kinda sad that he isn't going to a baby much longer. He is now almost nine months and I just can't believe it. I can't wait for his tooth to cut all the way. He has been a bit fussy but nothing too bad. I am just so excited for him.

Baby Wrestling

So, now that my son is constantly on the move, it has become difficult to do a diaper change. We have now figured out why there are straps on the changing table. Not only does he not keep still, but he loves grabbing for the diaper. He tends to either get poo on his hands, or it gets on his feet. Changing diapers has gotten SO messy. I swear it's the funniest thing trying to get his diaper on. I am constantly wrestling with him to get it on.
