Memorial Day Pig Roast

Jonah, Heidi and Una play "Spin the Bottle".
Jonah: "One step closer, Una, and I'll shoot!"

Heidi: "I wish I could get that squirt gun and soak my dad."

Una: "I just hope I get to lick someone's face."

Visit from Grandpa

My dad came to visit for Memorial Day Weekend. We had a wonderful time together and we packed the weekend with activity in true Meyer fashion. Saturday morning we borrowed a bike for Dad and went on a bike ride using our goal destination (McDonald's) as motivation to get up the long hill by our apartment. In the afternoon we took a drive in a nearby national forest, went out to an early dinner with some family friends, left Jonah with a babysitter and enjoyed an outdoor concert at the zoo.

Sunday we went to church and had a nice lunch at home while Jonah napped. In the evening we rode the world's longest tramway up to the Sandia Peak and enjoyed a nice dinner at a restaurant at the top of the mountain. Then we trooped over to Dad's hotel, put Jonah to bed in the hotel bathtub and the men got to watch sports while I watched a movie on our laptop. As Dad would say, "It doesn't get better than that!"

Oops. I put the same picture twice and I can't figure out how to remove one picture without deleting the whole post.

Here's our view from the restaurant at the top of the mountain.

Almost Mobile

So the buffin is not quite crawling yet, but he's very close. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Today he even pushed forward with his legs and ended up doing some nice face-plants into the carpet. While he hasn't mastered forward movement, he is really getting the hang of rolling all over the place and scooching backward. He definitely does not stay put when you set him down. Last week I left him sitting up with his toys and came back from the bathroom to find him on his tummy wedged under a chair. He has also discovered that he can scooch over to the bookshelf and empty it of its contents. Looks like we need to start baby-proofing...

Bouncing Buffin

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.
