birthday traditions!

birthday #1

birthday #2
A wise person once convinced me of how fun and important it is to stick to fun traditions--not only the old ones but starting new ones. Jonah's gone to the Field museeem with Mommy and Daddy for birthday #1 and now birthday #2. We love it. Perhaps it's more for us than it is for him, but nonetheless he seemed to have a great time! So much, in fact, that after three days of Christmas and his birthday extravaganza, Jonah was down for the count for the rest of the week. Poor guy got pretty sick, but he's all good now.

BOB!

Jonah's still not saying many words these days, but we do see some "explosions" here and there. His favorite word right now is BOB! He loves Bob.

somebody got a haircut

Jonah sportin' his new 'do.
After succumbing to the pressure and to the relief of many relatives, Jonah got a haircut on Sunday.The keys to a pleasant, successful haircut:
1. let jonah drink from the squirt water bottle
2. don't make him sit
2. follow him around with clippers.
Not a single tear!

Go Ducks.

Since mommy's super bowl loss, jonah gets in the spirit of college football! Not a Tebow fan.

two year old photo shoot

Jonah and his daddy played out in the snow for his two-year-old photo shoot. Jonah better get used to this snow quick. He's feet didn't budge the entire time they were out there. It's like he's afraid to walk in the snow. It's adorable.

holiday shenanigans and tomfoolery

Auntie Autumn, Lila and Jonah have a sit-down meeting over lollipops before they sign the papers for their arranged marriage.
Auntie Autumn's getting some photo pointers from Jonah while Lila and her daddy watch some Monday Night football. (Lila's dad and I are facing off in the fantasy super bowl Sunday. I am the defending champ. You could call my team the Patriots. I'm awesome and I didn't even use auto draft.)
Uncle Tuny busted out the old school train set. Jonah's real good at conducting (and derailing)!
