She Figured It Out

We spent some time outside today in the beautiful weather, and I looked away from Nora for a minute to do something in the sandbox with Jonah.  When I looked back, I noticed that she had picked up her beads. She looked at them for a moment, and then spent the next ten minutes or so putting them in her mouth and chewing on them. While it was exciting to see, it also marks the beginning of one of my least favorite things about infants – the put-everything-in-their-mouth phase. But it sure made her happy!

And I just love going in to check on her and find her sleeping with her arms up like this. (Jonah did it, too.)

She heard the little beep of the camera and reluctantly opened her eyes to see what was going on. Then it was right back to sleep.  That’s my girl!  :)

Loves His Trucks

For months, Jonah’s been sleeping with photographs of his favorite trucks. Most of them were taken of the construction vehicles outside. You’ll notice a red dump truck and a digger. The blue dump truck is upside-down under his hip, and there’s a garbage truck under his head. Through the monitor, we can listen to him have little conversations with them as he falls asleep. “Night night digger. Red truck dump dirt. Back up kuck green (garbage truck) beep beep. Red truck take a nap. Bye bye blue truck. Ah, digger dirt red truck….” It’s pretty hilarious.

The best is when he wakes up and I go in to get him, only to find him sitting there with a truck stuck to the side of his head. :)  Sadly, there are no photos of that.  Yet.

Nap Interrupted

Like all babies, Jonah’s pretty adorable when he’s sleeping. But getting him to sleep – especially for naps – is tricky enough that I never want to take the chance of waking him up by taking a picture. Yesterday, though, he was still sleeping at 4:00 and I had to wake him up anyway…

“Awww… what did you do that for???”

Then he (strangely) wanted to keep playing in his crib for nearly another half-hour. He’d ask for me to pick him up, and then as I reached out my hands, he would crack up and dive back on the mattress and say, ‘nightnight’. It was apparently a very fun game.
