New Adventures

After several weeks of backing himself into corners, under beds, and into other akward spots, we're proud to announce that Jonah has finally mastered the art of crawling forward! Trouble is soon to follow, but for now his crawling is very cute.


Another new adventure for Jonah has been going on bike rides. I (Matt) found a used tow-behind bike trailer and have taken Jonah for several rides. Jonah is remarkably content to sit in the trailer and watch the world go by, and I can now get a workout in on weekends while entertaining Jonah at the same time. So far we've taken the Bart out over (through, really) the hills, then rode out by Orinda and Lafayette. We're not breaking any speed records, but at least I get some bonus perseverance points for towing Jonah up big hills!

Mr. Messy

Jonah has been at this eating thing for a little while. I can't quite remember how long, but at least since six months or so. Yet somehow he still manages to get food all kinds of places that aren't his mouth...
Despite (or maybe because) of that, it's a lot of fun to feed him. Although he isn't feeding himself yet, he does occassionally try to "help". Most of his help consists mostly of opening his mouth like a little bird, which is very cute. But sometimes he "helps" by grabbing the spoon, stabbing himself in the mouth, and decorating his face and hands with food. Then he really gets to be Mr. Messy!
