We are having tons of fun watching Jonah grow and explore his world. He gets around very quickly now with the commando crawling, and he's occasionally crawled on his hands and knees for a few seconds before plopping down on his belly. He is pulling himself up on things to try standing, and swimming is still his favorite activity. Jonah is "talking" up a storm - usually mamamamama and dadadadada and bababababa, but we don't see him connecting these sounds to anything just yet. He's working hard at learning to wave hello and goodbye. He finally loves reading and looking at books! I'm still making homemade food for Jonah but he enjoys "chewing" more now (3 teeth now, 2 more about to poke through!) so less pureeing and more finger foods on the menu. His new favorites are pasta and cherries (not together!) Jonah's skin is much better - but for those of you I didn't tell - turns out he's allergic to dogs! I think the eczema flares up when he is exposed to dogs, which explains why it got so bad in NY - Angel is going to have to steer clear of Jonah - should make our visits quite interesting! Luckily he doesn't seem to have much of a reaction to Gus!
Daniel and I had a real treat - we got to go up to the mountains alone while Jonah stayed with Grandma Alice and Grandpa Bruce. We went whitewater rafting on Clear Creek, visited a local Colorado winery, had a delicious dinner in Idaho Springs and stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Georgetown. We really packed a lot into just over 24 hours!
A couple of other random pictures - I went to my only Rockies game of the season with my friend Rebecca. Great seats!! And Jonah
