Playing with Mommy

I know it's been a long time since I last updated this blog, but hopefully in 2009 I'll be better about uploading videos. This is a great one from early December 2008.

Mother's Day

Here's a few pics from Rachel's first Mother's Day. We had a picnic in Central Park with Aunt Amy and Uncle David, as well as friends Mary and Devon.

Jonah Visits the Midwest

Here are some highlights from our recent visits to St. Louis and Kansas City.

Tired from the long flight.

Mima serves bananas for breakfast.

Papa reads a new book.

At the very cold MS Walk...

with LeeAnn and Kristen.

Surprise!

What a handsome little guy!

Learning to crawl or doing push-ups, we're not sure.

Ready for a long walk with Mommy and Daddy.

Having fun with Mima and Papa.

Laughing with Mima.

In St. Louis, and very happy to be out of the car seat.

Jonah's favorite toy: a plastic spoon!

Jonah's great-grandmother Katz.

Playing in the tall grass.

A sweet picture of Jonah and Mommy.

Outside Daddy's childhood house, possibly for the last time.

Jonah's not sure about his first taste of matzah.

Sitting and playing on Pa's lap.

Laughing at Nana's jokes.

Jonah and Pa.

Cracking up with silly Aunt Ricki.

Another great picture with Aunt Ricki.

Jonah was fascinated with the remote control.

Playing patiently on the plane back to NYC.

Almost home!

Laughing with Mommy

Here's a great video of Jonah playing with a new toy he got from his uncle Chad and aunt Claire, and rolling around on the floor.

Playing with Daddy

Jonah loves to play on the changing table, and he is very ticklish.

Solid Foods - Take 2

Here is Jonah's second attempt at solid foods. This video is from Feb. 23, 2008.

Vermont

Here's some pictures from our recent trip to Vermont.

Sitting Up

People always ask if Jonah is sitting up yet. Well, as you can see in this video, he's almost there but hasn't quite got the balancing part down yet. He is also fascinated by music, so he loves this Mozart cube that our friend Leontine gave us.

Jonah's First Solid Food

On Feb. 22, we finally gave Jonah his first taste of solid food - some rice, ground up with a little milk.

Jonah Discovers Himself

I caught this video of Jonah playing in his crib, and was amazed at how well he was able to prop himself up and look in the mirror. He is also talking a lot, blowing spit bubbles, and rolling over. He's not crawling yet, but from the looks of it, it's not too far off!

Welcome

Welcome to Jonah's adventures in cyberspace! In future posts we hope to have photos and video of Jonah as he grows and changes. I don't know how often we'll update it, but please bookmark and check back often.
