Fabulous Five!

Once again the time flew by and once again there is so much to be grateful for. I am grateful for:

1) Completing the 5K running clinic and running the ING 5K fun run. Now I am in the 10K clinic with my running friend Stacey.

2) Our new KING size bed! Jonas loves it too!

One big bed for one small baby!

3) RAIN! August has been hot, hot, hot, so the rain has been a nice change!

4) A wonderful summer with Jonas! We have been visiting many friends and family so it has been busy, busy, busy, so much so that I don't know where the summer has gone!

Jonas with my well-travelled, childhood friend Erin!

Jonas sharing with his friend Maeve - oh so cute! It reminds me of the movie 'Lady and the Tramp'

5) My wonderful boy Jonas! I can't believe he is 6.5 months old. Today we weighed him and he is 17 lbs. 8 oz. and 26 3/4 inches - wow! The biggest changes that I have noticed in the last few weeks are his ability move (no, he is not crawling yet), he loves to sit, then roll to his tummy and then lift himself up with his hands; his ability to grab for his toys, with his hands and feet; and his ability to feed himself (he really dislikes when I feed him). Oh, and he already has 2 teeth!

hum-mm, which toy do I want now...

Jonas feeding himself! Too bad he can't clean himself!

6) My hard working husband! He has been working every day since the long weekend so I can't wait until he finally gets some time off, which is this weekend - yipppeee!

My two favorite people!

Oh, so many faces...

The joys of being a mother includes the many faces that your child expresses, sometimes going from happy to crying in seconds. Though Jonas is usually a happy baby, I love to see his many faces including when he cries - it just brings warm fuzzes to my heart. So I thought I would share... (OK, perhaps I just want to show off my boy more with a post of pictures)

Ah, camera strap, must get, must get!

Yippee, I'm all clean!

Oh, so happy!

Yes mom, you can take a picture of me....

..I'll even smile :)

Being goofy!

ooohhh, water (cold water?)!

I love playtime!

Concentrating!

Please, please no more pictures!

Nice doggy!

Maybe if I close my eyes, it will disappear....

nope, still there, gross!

Nap time on grandpa!

Posing for pictures.

Stretching after all those poses!

I love my boy!
