Putting His Feet Up

Jonas has been showing an amusing trend where he seems most comfortable putting his feet on things: the kitchen table, a book being read to him, his mouth, among other things. But it's funny to see how comfortable he makes himself with his feet. While we mostly attach his car seat to the top of the stroller when we push Jonas around town, Mom has been putting him in the real stroller seat of late since he's so close to sitting up on his own these days. The result: Jonas making himself comfortable, feet up as always. Hopefully he'll have his own corner office one day where this sort of activity will be appropriate.

Baby Ruth

Dad was always more of a Mets fan, but Jonas doesn't mind representing Dad's other hometown team. At least he knows how to pick a winner. Here, he looks ready to bat cleanup.

Crib Cutie

Every time we think Jonas has been as adorable as he can be, he seems to kick into yet another adorable gear, charming us even more. Case in point: This afternoon, Jonas awoke from his afternoon nap even more giddy than usual. Since he was in such a good mood, and was on his side when we found him, Mom suggested rolling him over to his stomach, which amazingly, we realized he has not yet experienced in his crib. The result is the photo above, one our favorite moments yet.

Rock Steady

Jonas and Mom have been getting lot of bonus time at home of late, but Dad has to make up for it on the weekends. This afternoon, they had a great moment together as Jonas sat on the rocking chair with Dad taking stock of the living room and everything else in sight. (Luckily, Mom was there to capture everything...)

Joe Drool

Sometimes, he just can't control himself.

Funny Faces

Jonas and Mom and Dad took a walk the other day and when Mom had ducked into a bakery to pick up some dessert for later, Jonas proceeded to show off his many faces. First, there was regular, ol' adorable Jonas...

...followed quickly by distracted Jonas...

...followed by making-blubbery-noises-with-his-lips Jonas

...which was followed by the funniest of all, completely-amused-by-himself Jonas.

Big Reach

Jonas has been displaying his extraordinary reaching abilities of late, seeking out things of all nature to grab at. In the process, he's starting to roll over more, an amusing byproduct of his curiosity...

...but when he rolls back over, he's back to his usual adorable self.

Jonas and Henry

One of Mom's favorite stuffed animals growing up was a Henry dog. So, of course, we had to get Jonas his very own updated version, which, as you can see, he gets along splendidly with. Jonas can even point to Henry's nose.

Hot Rod

This morning we took Jonas to the Belmont Shore Car Show, an annual event in our old neighborhood that features hundreds of classic cars. Jonas was sleeping when we got there, but when he woke up, his eyes lit up at the sight in front of him. And, he got to show off his own smokin' wheels as well.

Ready to Eat

We've been teaching Jonas a few basic sign language signs to encourage him to eventually tell us what he wants, but by far, the one he loves most is the sign for "eat." Of course, maybe it's just the prospect of food that gets him going, but watching his face light up at the sign for it is one of the highlights of the day.
