Christmas time

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We got the chance to spend time with both sides of the family. Uncle Jarred is home froms Columbia and Jonah just can't get enough of him. He wants to hug him and kiss him all day long. I don't think Uncle Jarred minds though. He bought Jonah a soccer ball for Christmas, think he's trying to pressure him into something? Jonah got his first chance to make cinnamon rolls with Grammy and Daddy. He didn't like getting his hands dirty, but he didn't mind eating the cinnamon and sugar mixed with butter after all the work was done.

Jonah is getting bigger and learning new tricks every day. Some days I think he's part monkey. He wants to climb on everything, even if it's not ment to be climbed on. He makes the greatest faces too. He just makes us giggle all the time. It's nice except for when we are trying to punish him Punishment doesn't go over so well when you are laughing at him. It's amazing what a big impact someone so little can have on your life.

We hope everyone has a wonderful new year!

Update

I promise I will update soon!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

As you can see Jonah is dressing up for Halloween. It's hard to tell but he is a knome. Can you guess who picked out that costume? He does look pretty darn cute though. Last weekend we went to a Boo Bash at a co-worker's church. It included all sorts of fun things for the kids to do. Jonah on the other hand just watched everyone. He wasn't sure what was going on.

Being one

First I want to thank everyone who made it out to Jonah's birthday party. While I'm not sure he knew what was going on, we did and truely appreciate everything. He is still opening new toys on a daily basis. My mom asked what he needed for Christmas and I told I'm not sure he needs anything.

Here are some pictures from the pumpkin patch. He had a blast walking through all the pumpkins. He's not so sure about the chickens though. I do believe he even tried a pumpkin by sinking his teeth into one. Didn't like that much. :)

Coming Soon!

I know it's been awhile since I've updated, but we busy bees at our house. I'm not even sure I sent out an e-mail about our trip to Omaha. If I didn't keep reading and you will see new pictures.

Jonah has now had 2 haircuts and still loves getting them. I think he likes that attention he gets from Mommy and Daddy (cuz we all know he is lacking in that). He is trying to walk more and more everyday. He will take a couple of steps and then plop down on his bottom. He just makes us laugh all the time. On Tuesday he said his first official word. It was bye-bye. Our parents as teachers lady was over and as she was leaving she said "Bye bye Jonah" and he said it right back. Nathan and I were shocked because he hadn't even been trying to say it. I have a feeling that's how most of his words are going to come.

If you haven't gotten your birthday invitation yet it will be coming soon. It's on October 3, 2009 at 2:00. It will be at Pat and Claudia's. We are kind of doing it open house style because we have invited so many people. If you want to see Jonah get his cake I would come as close to around 2 as you can. I plan on doing it then unless I hear that a bunch of people won't be there until later.

First hair cut

So we did it! Jonah got his first hair cut and he did great! We just sat down in the bathroom and Nathan used the clippers to cut it all off. The best part is, is that while I was tearing up, Jonah was loving every minute of it.

We also went to the doctor last week. She said that he was perfect, but we already knew that. He is 29 1/2 in long and weighs 20 lbs and 10 ozs. He is pulling up on everything and is starting to walk with help. I'm almost ready to go back to work so I don't have to chase him all day.

Getting big

Jonah went on his first vacation last week. We went to Omaha with Grandma and Grandpa. He had a blast. He was so good, no melt downs or anything like that. I think his favorite part was the aquarium. He was in awe. There is a tunnel that you walk through where the fish and sharks can swim over you. He followed them where ever they went.

Summer time

Now the summer time is here, Jonah can't get enough of the outside. We took our first trip to the park. He doesn't really understand sitting up the whole way down the slide, but he did giggle quite a bit when went down. The swings were his favorite. He is almost 8 months old. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He is finally doing a real crawl and pulling up on everything. He's already hit his head a few times, which is hard for mommy to watch. People keep telling me it's what boys do, but I don't know if I can take it. And as you can see from the first picture, he is starting to fight sleep. He just goes and goes until he crashes. Good for him, but wears mommy and daddy out.

Spring time

Well Jonah is 7 months old and getting bigger every day. He isn't exactly crawling yet. He kind of does an inch worm thing. He gets up on all fours and then flattens out. He gets where he needs to be though.

There are only 15 days of school left and I can't wait. I have so much planned for the summer Jonah won't know what hit him. We also hope to see our other Magers side as much as we can.

Jonah is 6 months old. How time flies! He went for his 6 month check up and the doctor said he was advanced in his development. We always knew he was smart. He is 18 pounds and 27 inches long. We are realizing how big he is getting because he is trying to crawl and we need a bigger car seat. We took our first trip to the zoo over spring break. The only animals he looked at were the meerkats. Not exciting to us, but he loved them.

Bath Time

Jonah is 5 months old and getting bigger everyday. One of his favorite things to do is take a bath. Usually he gets thrown in the shower when daddy takes one, but hey it's good quality time together. He is starting to try and sit up and it's a constant battle. He is also trying to get teeth. There is a lot of chewing and drooling going on.

4 1/2 months old

Hanging out

Jonah loves to hang out with his grandparents. I think it's because they spoil him so much. Here he is at Grandma and Grandpa's (my parents). As you can see he has no pants on. I think he prefers it that way.

Here we go

So I decided to be cool like my sister (in law) and start a blog to keep everyone updated on our lives. Jonah is getting bigger every day. He was 15lbs 4 ozs and 25 inches long the last time we went to the doctor. He has discovered toys and will do whatever he has to to get to them. I can't believe we are there already. Here are some new pictures of him.
