Jonah's First Taste of Christmas

A CRAZY FUN WAGON!!!

OH BOY!! A BRIGHTLY COLORED BOX THAT I CAN CHEW ON!!!
(Murphy doesn't seem to share Jonah's enthusiasm.)

Jonah and his cousin Hadley learn the true meaning of Christmas:
Non-stop photo opportunities for camera-happy parents.

OH BOY!!! A BIGGER BRIGHTLY COLORED BOX THAT I CAN CHEW ON!!!

BANANAS!

A tooth is slowly breaking through.
Organic, cage-free fruit is being mashed and eaten.
Our little boy-man-dude-scamp-monkey-snugglemuffin is growing up.
Soon Jonah will be too big to cuddle and we'll have to make another one.

Jonah vs. Lazy Susan

The dining room table at the Terlingua House had a giant lazy susan on it. It was the perfect size for baby-spinning. The video goes on for hours, but for your viewing pleasure, I cut it down to 37 seconds.
