Talking on the Phone

Jonathan is obsessed with the telephone. When it rings, his ears perk up and he watches to see if you are going to answer it. If Chris or I leave the phone down within his grasp, he can't resist grabbing it and pushing a button (or all of them). If Jonathan finds a remote control for the TV or VCR then it also becomes a phone and he will walk around with the remote to his ear, talking away.

Jabber Box

This is a little video we took earlier this week while Jonathan was in the pool. He doesn't stay in the pool for very long, but it gives you a chance to hear what his "talking" sounds like. He's mostly just jabbering, but you can hear him say, "Wow."

The Toy That Isn't

Why is it that the best toys are not really toys? When I emptied this cd spindle, it became one of Jonathan's favorite things to play with. He will sit for an hour or more, putting the little styrofoam rings on the post. It's the only thing in the house that he plays with for so long. Now, do you think that if I bought a toy that is similar in nature, with rings to put on a post, that Jonathan would love it quite as much? I wonder....

Blond Hair?

I cut Jonathan's hair again on Saturday. When we went to church the next day, so many people commented on Jonathan's blond hair! It's not exactly blond, but it has lightened dramatically. I think it's getting sun-bleached because Jonathan LOVES being outside. These pictures show just a few things Jonathan enjoys doing while he is outside.
