Jonah got his first tooth shortly before Christmas and now has five which he all got soon after: three on top and two on bottom. We brush his teeth twice a day, which he usually likes until you try to brush the top. This is a recent development, so maybe there is another on the way soon. It's been a few months since one popped up, so it's about time!
Jonah learned to walk shortly after Christmas and can now walk very well. If he falls on his butt, he can get back up on his own. He can bend over and pick things up. He even sort of runs.
He is a picky eater, and his favorite food right now is blueberries.
Jonah sleeps very well. It was a real struggle for awhile, but now it is great. All we have to do is put him in his crib and say, "Goodnight, buddy! Sweet dreams!" or something similar and he will put himself to sleep. It's amazing. He also sleeps from about 7:30pm-7:30am without waking up, which is so nice. You'd think Aaron and I would take advantage of that and go to sleep early, but we don't. He also still naps twice a day, usually.
We started taking him to a Mother's Morning Out program, or what I call "Morning School" because of its name. At first it was to help me out while I was in class, especially so that I didn't wear out the same (and only) babysitter he has. He loves spending time with the other kids though, so now that I am done with classes and don't really need to take him, I still do sometimes anyway to let him have fun. Plus, it's good for mommy to get an hour or two to herself, right?
Jonah says: gog (dog), nana (Grandma, banana), ma, da or daddy, mwa (more), dis (this), uuu (up), hi, uh-oh, loud, baby. He shakes his head yes or no to answer questions or ask for something. For example, if he wants to go outside, he will look outside and then shake his head 'yes.'
He can points to favorite things in books, like Elmo or the moon. He can point out an elephant and a zebra on a picture in his room. His favorite toy right now is a Thomas book that makes sound. He loves to "read" or be read to. He loves to pick up his toys, usually. He's getting very good at listening to commands and seems to really understand what we talk about.
He loves to climb now. He can get on the couch fairly, our rocking chair, and his rocking chair fairly well. He will try any chair any where. He loves heavy metal and punk rock. He LOVES water. But most of all, he loves his daddy. His favorite time of the day, and definitely when he is most energized and excited, is when Aaron walks in the door from work. It melts my heart.
I get a lot of love too. He just started giving me lots of hugs from behind when I bend down to pick up his toys, and I even get a kiss or two. (:
