Jonah tidbits

Here are some of the funny things that have come out of Jonah's mouth lately:

#1: (As Jonah takes off down the hall)
Me: Where are you going?
Jonah: I'm gong to Chinatown!

#2: (I put on a non-maternity shirt that I probably haven't worn since June.)
Jonah: Did you get a new shirt?

#3:
Me: Nana is coming to visit us in three days!
Jonah: No, it's four days, honey.

And here's the bonus footage.

Ava's first bath

Grandma was here for almost two weeks, and the first item on her agenda was Ava's first "tub" bath.


As you can see, she enjoyed it fairly well...





Until it was time to get out!



A few minutes of drying off and snuggling with Grandma and she was back to her contented self.



We enjoyed Grandma's visit, as you can see!








Yesterday's post notwithstanding, Jonah remains less than interested in his sister.





However, he has not yet asked us to take her back.



He does love her stuff, though!

Breaking News!

Jonah let me put Ava next to him long enough to take a photo!!


Right after I took it, he was all done with having her anywhere near him.

The Progress Report

Sigh. My little boy is growing up.



Yesterday, we set up his Big Boy Bed (BBB). The plan has always been to move Ava into the crib and Jonah into a bed, and have them share our second bedroom. I read somewhere that it can be helpful in making the transition to set up the bed ahead of the actual move, giving him time to get used to it - playing on it, etc. After we got it set up, he decided he wanted to take his nap in the BBB. We read books and he snuggled up in the BBB, but just a few minutes after I left the room, he called out for us and decided he wanted to nap in his crib after all.



I figured that would be the end of it - until naptime today, when he again wanted to nap in the BBB. This time, Matt read his stories and tucked him in, and thirty minutes later, all was quiet.



As I type, he's getting tucked in for the night in his BBB. Wish us luck!

In Ava news, we had a two-week check-up today, and she is up to 9 lbs, 2 oz. The doctor asked what I was feeding her. :)



Her belly button is all healed, which means her first real bath will follow shortly! And, she can wear onesies. A whole new avenue of fashion is open to her.
