Starting Solids...

On Saturday, we gave Jonathan solids for the first time (not counting all the times my father has fed him applesauce and icecream when I'm not around, of course!).  He really seems to enjoy eating from a spoon!

Jonathan in Action

Here are some videos that I took of Jonathan about a month ago...


Jonathan talking (complaining) to me:

Tummy Time (you can see why he hates it... it probably doesn't help that I'm laughing at him the whole time!):

Trying to wake Jonathan up- if it's this difficult now, I can't even imagine how hard it's going to be when he's a teenager!

Jonathan is 4 Months Old!

Dear Jonathan,

          You are 4 months old today!  In the last month, you have made all sorts of accomplishments- you have rolled over for the first time, started reaching for objects, and even took your first trip to the ER!
          Your favorite thing to do is suck on your fingers.  And be warned to the person who tries to take them out of your mouth, you immediately begin screaming!  Sometimes you suck so hard on your fingers that they begin to turn bright red, but you are learning to pacify yourself and become just a little more independent.
          Your daddy and I think you might be beginning to teethe.  You drool all the time (sometimes your clothes get so wet that we have to change them!) and everything you get in your hands you immediately try to put in your mouth.
          Daddy always tries to make you laugh.  He is still your favorite person- you always seem delighted to see him!  He always tries to surprise you by making faces and tickling you.  You smile and shriek at his antics, and I just love to see the two of you together.
          My favorite thing about you at this stage is still your smile, but I also love it when you blow "raspberries" at me.  Sometimes we will just sit together and make noises at each other... its alway so much fun!
          Every morning, we read together from the Bible and from your special Jesus Storybook Bible.  You are always so attentive and love to look at the bright pictures.  I hope that you will continue to have a love for God's Word and spend every day learning to know Jesus more.
                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                            Mommy
