My little man is growing and learning so much these days! I love watching him explore his environment and watch his Mama and Daddy try and teach him new things. He is so inquisitive and curious about everything.
What he's doing these days:
Trying to crawl! He gets up on all fours and rocks back and fourth. You can see it in his face that he wants to take off and go so bad but his little body just won't go where he wants it to. Jonah and his Daddy practice crawling every night though. I'm sure we will regret pushing him to be mobile when he is getting into everything!
Playing with toys with a purpose. Though most of his toys are rattles and the like, things that taste great but don't have much functionality, Jonah does have some that tickle his brain. One in particular is that classic toy with the curvy wires and little trinkets that you slide through a winding maze of colored metal. I love watching him trying to figure out how to slide the toys. He mostly just spins them on the wire, but he is trying :)
Rolling around everywhere. I leave the room for a second and when I come back he is several feet from where I left him.
Taking Baths in the big boy tub! He is just too big now for the little blue tub. He seems to like the change and still splashes like its his job.
Blowing raspberries. C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-L-Y. Truly its all day. He is so proud of his raspberry blowing capabilities. Funny thing is that he figured how to blow raspberries months ago, but in the last three weeks ago its as if he rediscovered some awesome new skill.
Dancing! Give em' a beat and he'll shake his feet! As soon as the music starts he starts shaking his leg and bobbing his body.
Eating all kinds of yummy things. I let him taste a lot of what we are eating. Whether its putting some sauce on my finger, or giving him a small piece of noodle. He gets to try a lot. Some of his faves are cheetohs and cheese puffs. Oh and let's not forget the hershey chocolate bar!
Babbling. Lots of goos and gahs. An occaisional da da da. No ma's or la's just yet.
What he Loves:
He still loves the same style binkie that he enjoyed as a newborn. Thankfully he uses it mostly when he is tired or ready for bed. Hopefully when we transition him to using it only for naps and bedtime at 1 year he will do ok.
His yellow bear and his Hokie. He rubs them on his face as he is drifting off to sleep at night.
His feet. Though poor guy got blessed with short little legs and he can just barely get those suckers in his mouth.
All of his toys. He tends to go for his keys, his barbell rattle, his winnie the pooh rattle, his soft book, his turtle rattle and his singing puppy dog that his Grandma and PawPaw gave him.
Having his back scratched. I stumbled upon this by accident, but he always seems to get real still and peaceful when I scratch his back.
Sesame Street. As soon as the theme song comes on, he eyes dart towards the screen. He seems to love Elmo too.
It's been an exciting month and I can't wait to see what he learns in the next month!
