Elmo

Jonathan loves Elmo! He says, "Emmo" and points to him on diapers, diaper boxes, books, and Sesame Street. Jonathan is usually still asleep when I leave for work in the morning, but this past week, he woke up super early every morning. One of the local TV stations has Sesame Street on early, so Chris and Jonathan would wrap up in blankets and watch for Elmo. Chris was convinced that Jonathan was waking up early just so he could watch Sesame Street! Probably not! :-)

Animal Puppets

When we were in Costco a month or so ago, we saw some animal puppets and decided to buy them. There was a set of zoo animals, some lizards, and some dogs. These puppets have become Jonathan's favorite toys by far--especially the puppies. He doesn't put his hand into the puppet part, but treats them more like stuffed animals. He carries the puppies around, makes barking and whimpering sounds and kisses them. He often has to carry one to bed, too. It's pretty cute.

Kisses for the puppy...mmm-mwa!

Cuddling with a puppy, drinking milk, snuggling on your favorite blankets...what could be better?

Eating By Himself

Jonathan has developed a big interest in feeding himself lately. He's been using his fingers for a while, but now he likes to use his fingers AND a spoon or fork. A lot of the food ends up on the floor, on his face, and in his chair. More often than not, it also ends up in his hair! Care to try peanut butter hair gel, anyone?
