Jonas at 1 year


Jonas is an active little guy who gets into everything! He knows all the things he's not suppose to have or do and finds ways to get to them (trash, toilets, pantry, my bathroom drawer even though it has a baby lock-he can squeeze his hand in and fish stuff out). We've had to get more creative in baby-proofing with this guy.  He loves to laugh and smile! I remember he was a little slow to start smiling when he was really little, but he's making up for it now. He's also pretty hilarious.

"yay, keys!"

His hair still sticks straight up in the back. It's just as crazy as he is!
Has had just 4 teeth for a few months, but at least more 6 teeth popped through this past week! Ouch!

Sleeping: finally sleeping well at night (he was the most difficult of the three kids with night sleeping). He sometimes wakes up early but we don't get him up until 6am. He's up daily at 6am ready to get started! He's a good napper (twice a day) and falls asleep at night without a fuss.

Eating: enjoys solid foods for all meals and does well eating despite only having 4 teeth. Pickiest eater out of the three kids (so far) preferring fruits and grains primarily (or smoothies). He gets screetchy waiting for me to get his food ready and will throw a plate on the floor. Still nursing 5-6 times each day (when not distracted by other things). Drinks from a straw cup.

Words: not saying any meaningful words yet (hopefully will catch up soon). Lots of babbling and now screeching to get attention. He blows raspberries as a way of communicating.

Activity: He started walking between 10-11 months taking little steps. Now he walks everywhere!

Likes: eating foods, laughing, his pacifier, little animals, snuggling soft blankets/pillows, drinking water (we have to moderate him), walking around anywhere, flipping through books, pointing at things, carring around Nerf darts, any stick with a brush on the end (especially my makeup brush) and car keys.

Dislikes: being buckled in his carseat (we'll move him to a bigger one after winter), not being carried around everywhere sometimes, getting dressed, Savannah carrying him, veggies







not all hand-me-downs work out

Jonas is such a happy child most of the time that he brings a smile to everyone around him. He's so curious too. Love that boy!
