The Afghan

Blue

Every time I turn around Jon is giving Jonah a taste of something an 8-month-old probably shouldn't be eating. Sunday he informed me that Jonah likes his paci dipped in ice cream. Apparently he also enjoys blue popsicles.

Eating Obby-Os Part 2

Jonah has now mastered the art of putting the Obby-Os in his mouth by himself, but he still makes the funny face when he eats one.

Dance of the Buffin

Here Jonah demonstrates his excited dance. He does this little dance for anyone and everyone who gives him attention. He dances for each person who says hi to him at church or in the grocery store. He watches people and waits for them to acknowledge him so he can greet them with a dance. It makes me sad to think that the day might someday come when he doesn't do this anymore. All the more reason to catch every moment on video, right?

The Sunday Paper

I wanted to catch the buffin looking like he was reading the paper, but as soon as I pull out the camera he has to mug for a shot. Hmmm... sound like anyone else we know?
Reading the paper... Eating the paper... Same thing, right?

Ready to Roll!

Our big excitement over the weekend was purchasing bikes and a baby bike seat (a wonderful Mother's Day present from my dad!) We are so excited to be able to do family bike rides! Albuquerque is a very bike-friendly town and there are sidewalks and bike paths everywhere. We'll definitely be getting a workout biking around here because the city slopes up toward the mountains (I'm looking forward to building up "biker's legs"). Jonah seems to enjoy his bike seat and doesn't mind his helmet (which makes him look hilarious and completely adorable).

It just doesn't get cuter than this!
Huge head!
Of course Jon had to try out the helmet too. It doesn't look as cute on him. Sorry, honey.
Jon is pumped about his vintage '70's Schwin road bike that was completely overhauled and tuned up like new.
And Jonah had to try Dad's bike too.
I love my Schwin "comfort bike". (aka "mom bike")
Let's ride!

Buffin eats an "Obby-O"

I'm starting to put Cheerios on Jonah's high chair tray and letting him play with them. I call them Obby-Os because that's what my brother called them when he was little. He's starting to get the hang of the pincer grasp (for those of you who don't read tons of baby books, that's the ability to grasp a small object between the thumb and forefinger) but he has a hard time letting go of the Obby-O once he's put it in his mouth. So for the purpose of this video I put the Obby-O in his mouth for him to demonstrate how funny it is to watch him eat it.
