a very elmo b-day




Jonah followed in his cousin Sienna's footsteps and had a very Elmo birthday! Jonah played with an Elmo cake that his mommy made. He got three elmo cards, an Elmo storybook, an Elmo and Abby set (his daddy throws abby across the room and hides her because she is pink and purple which I think is wrong!), Elmo Live, a fuzzy, giggly elmo, some Elmo dvds and Elmo sweatsuit. Whoa. too much Elmo. I am tired. I now dream up future Elmo's world episodes like cars, hockey, the stock market, chocolate, tacos, pizza and Chicago.

We had all sorts of fun on Jonah's birthday Saturday. His special day was shared with the annual Newcomb family Christmas that falls on the Saturday after Christmas every year. Jonah spent most of the day laughing at his cousin Gavin hysterically (available on the facebook). We couldn't get him to stop. We thought he'd get a tummy ache but he just kept on laughing.

Jonah shares his birthday with all sorts of scientists, artists and journalists including:
Jean Bernouilli-Swiss Mathematician
Mick Jones-mediocre rocker from Foreigner
Cokie Roberts-badass political reporter
Gerard Depardieu-lame French actor
John Amos-kickass American actor
Marlene Dietrich-German actor from back in the day
Arch Ward-Sportswriter and editor for the Chicago Trib. Creator of the Golden Gloves and the all-star game.
Johann Kepler-physicist and astronomer
Louis Pasteur-nerdy scientist
Patrick Sharp-chicago blackhawk
Tim "Clammer" Sullivan-our best, good friend

I share my bday with former teen heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Kev shares his with Pepa from Salt n Pepa. Pretty lame.

Lila is so jealous, she looks at Elmo Live everytime we go to the store, and I let her talk to him, then tell her he has to stay there because that's where he lives. (Daddy came up with that one and it works pretty well!)
