29 Years and 5 Months

Today Jonah and I share a birthday. Well, sort of. One of us is counting by years and the other is counting by months, but still! It's cool to share just about anything with our little man. Since we celebrated my birthday last weekend, I will focus on Jonah now. (It's a good thing we celebrated my birthday early cause it is GLOOMY here today. We did go out for breakfast and Andrew gave me a book and a card, but besides that it was just a normal day dotted with well wishes from family and friends.). Honestly, I don't look much different than I did before and haven't learned any new tricks recently, but Jonah has, so it's only fair to give him the spotlight.

Here is our good old picture next to Green Monkey. It took us five months of pictures, but we finally got a monthly photo with a smile. YEAH!! I like to think that it was my birthday present. Thanks buddy.


In the last month Jonah has picked up some new fascinations and talents. Just after he turned 4 months old he found his tongue and took to sticking it out often.


More recently he has become enamored with his feet. It probably helps that I always have some colorful socks or shoes or booties in the shape of dinosaur feet on him, but for whatever reason they've got his attention. It makes feeding a little harder cause he's always doubling over to look at them, and changing his diaper a little harder because he's always bringing them up to his face.


The greatest feat with his feet yet, is when he chews on them. Flexible little bugger that he is he just pulls them on up and pops them in his mouth. Sometimes I get him up from a nap and one of his socks is soaking wet, but he most often does it in the bath when his feet are wet and clean. It may be weird looking, a baby chewing on his feet, but at least he's somewhat hygienic about it!
