By far, one of Jonathan's favorite foods is raspberries. He noticed a bunch of ripe berries in Uncle Jack's patch and wouldn't leave them alone until he had picked all of them. He even tried eating the ones that weren't quite ripe. They don't come off of the bush as easily when they aren't ripe, so he resorted to chewing them off of the bush! We visited my mom's house this weekend and she has a HUGE patch of raspberries. They needed to be picked while we were there, so Jonathan and I helped. Well, let me explain Jonathan's "helping." He had a bucket and he followed behind us, putting dirt and rocks in his bucket. Occasionally, he would want raspberries, so we'd dump out his bucket and put some raspberries in it for him to eat. Other times, he would come to our buckets and grab berries one by one or by the handful. I thought he might make himself sick on raspberries, but he finally seemed to get enough by the time we were done picking!
P.S. Notice the fork in Jonathan's hand? Jonathan seems to attach himself to something each day and carries it around. Sometimes it's the fork, sometimes it's the spoon, a stuffed animal, Chris's keys, a straw, his toothbrush, etc!
Jonathan had a great Thanksgiving this year. He loved playing with his cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. He ate bites of lots of different things at dinner: turkey, cheesy potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, fruit salad, and a roll. For dessert, he was given a piece of pie with Cool Whip. He dipped his spoon into the Cool Whip and thought it was great so he gave up his spoon and dug in with his hand! These pictures above show Jonny "helping" make the rolls. He thought dipping his measuring spoon into flour was great fun and that eating dough wasn't bad either!
