Christmas Presents

We gave Jonathan the opportunity to open his own presents this year. We figured that he would get the hang of it since he loves to crinkle paper, but he wasn't really interested. He preferred to eat the presents instead. He got toys, clothes, pajamas and books but his most favorite thing was Grandma Vicki's snowglobe! He also enjoyed the hugs and kisses he got from his cousins Garrett and Odin!

Still Growling!




Jonathan is still growling! It seems like he especially likes growling when he should be quiet--like in Sacrament Meeting! We can't get him to growl when we want to, but once he is growling then you can growl and he'll growl back!

Early Christmas Presents



Chris and I bought these trucks for Jonathan for Christmas. He got them early though because we couldn't wait for Christmas to come!

Drinking From a Cup

When Chris and I drink from most cups, we are safe, but when Jonathan sees us drinking from one of these blue cups, he thinks he needs to also. So far, we've only let him drink water. He still gets most of the water down his front, but there are times when he actually gets more water swallowed than on himself!

Sitting Up


Jonathan is getting so good at sitting up. He still tips over occasionally, but he can now sit without any support. He likes to sit and play with toys that he can reach around him.

The Walker




Jonathan loves the walker that Aunt Mel let us borrow. He figured out how to move it around within just a day or two and now goes all over, even on the carpet. When Jonathan sees the cat, he'll let out a squeal and then chase after her! Also, I'll put a line of toys along the edge of the couch and he will amuse himself by going down the line and playing with them until he has knocked them all on the floor. Today, I put some sweet potato cereal puffs (made by Gerber) on the tray of the walker and he took right over putting them in his mouth after I fed him one! I shot this video just a couple of nights ago while Chris was playing with Jonathan. Jonathan thought it was great!

Eight Months Old




Jonathan is eight months old now! He's been working really hard to get mobile! He is getting pretty good about scooting around. He will get up on his hands and knees and then push his legs to move himself forward. He doesn't move his hands yet, but he still seems to be able to move around. When he sees something he wants to get his hands on, he can really move! No more sitting on the carpet to read the newspaper unless I want a helper!
