Grass

We spent the time before Jonah's morning nap today playing in the grass. He still isn't in love with the stuff. He kind of clams up and won't crawl or move around when he is in it. I'm sure he will learn to love it.

We had to go out at 9:30AM, and even then it was still too hot. If you are asking yourself, "Does she EVER put clothing on her child?" the answer is, only when we are forced to leave the house for some reason. It IS July in Arizona, after all, and over 110 degrees most days.

Sidenote: We need to cut our grass. And half of it is dead from a little neglect when we first moved in. Oops.

The Luckiest

If you already hadn't had enough six month pictures 3 months too late, here a couple more.

 

Simply because these twins just melt my heart :)

 

 

 And my favorite of all...

Ha ha! Oh, that face

Month Six Video

Here's a little video of Jonah trying to scoot around six months... He had already started doing it, but I could never catch it on camera. This is mostly just him struggling :)

Month Six!

Every month with the little man gets more interesting and exciting. At six months, Jonah started scooting across the carpet. It happened so fast... one day he was kind of doing it, and a few days later he was practically mobile!

We were living my mom and dad, which was fun because they got to see Jonah every day and watch him grow and learn new things. We had just made the crazy cross-country trek from Tennessee (more on that later... it was a doozy), and Jordan was out of town every other week for training (not fun!). He was setting up lots of things for the new company and working hard.

I will have to look in his baby file for the exact stats, because I can't remember them. I know he was 18 pounds 1 ounce at his appointment, and he was in the 90th percentile for height. He had also started giving some really good belly laughs, and was really in the throes of teething (we were waiting for the bottom right one to break through).

His sleeping got super weird (because of said teething and a new room/environment), and for a span there I felt like we had a newborn again. Yikes. He would wake up around 11 or 12 after going to bed and then at 3 or 4 AM every night, followed by waking up at 6:30 in the morning. It was rough. Thankfully, it went away, and he is back to his 12 hour a night sleep schedule!

5 Months of Jonah

Okay, so I realize Jonah is 9 months now and it is pretty sad that I am just posting 5 month pictures. However, this is the best way for my mom brain to keep track of his ages/stages, and why not share more pictures of that cute face!? ;)

Also, what the heck is up with our background? More blogger issues, yet again. I tried to use a new template, and things just got messed up and wacky. Sigh. Maybe one day I will fix it.

Five months was a CRAZY time for us... We were in the process of getting ready to move/pack up our place in Hixson. Since we were relocating across the country and wanted to downsize, we were also selling tons of our furniture and belongings (we may have slept on a mattress on the floor for a month).

Jonah decided this would be a perfect time to stop napping. Oy vey. I know it's typically a 5 month thing, but I thought that, since he was an awesome napper during the day up until that point, maybe I would get a break. Not so, people! Looking back now, it was probably from teething and all of the craziness.

He also had gotten really good at rolling around and could push himself up on his arms. If I left him alone on one side of his room and walked out, he would have rolled to the other side by the time I came back a couple of minutes later.

Love that little man!
