A Big Boy!

Dear Jonas,

You had your first check up with our family doctor last Sat and you weighed in at 12lbs5oz and you are 25 INCHES long! You are extremely healthy; you didn't even catch my cold. I am now better and I am happy that you weren't too demanding on the days I stayed in bed - we just hung out, ate and slept.
Now we are back to normal. Today we went to the baby group at the community centre and you were awake and watching all the other little ones play: Carter, Sophia and???. After that we all worked in the garden for a few hours - you kept Dad and I entertained with your chatter and then you fell asleep. You also grabbed your rattle today and shook it and watched it and tried to chew on it - this was a first! You might have been extra excited since you saw your Dad hit a home run at his ball game earlier. Maybe you got inspired to hold that rattle...but it was probably an accident.... You are also napping in your crib and when you don't like it you will nap in your swing. You still sleep with us at night and you are no longer as noisy so the cosleeping is much smoother now. You still feed every 2-3 hours. Your dad has also discovered that you are always happier outside. Sometimes when you are fussy, he will take you outside and you immediately settle down. We are so happy to have you in our lives!
