Looking smooth after bathtime. As you can see by the assortment of cords in the background, Jonas' parents have been delinquent in the babyproofing.
IMG_1506
|
As a special treat after he had a nasty face first run-in with the hardwood floor, Mommy let Jonas play with all the day's junk mail. His undying love for paper is going to make our Christmas shopping easy this year.
IMG_1525
|
Yeah, we're those parents. We now often construct a "baby containment area" in the living room to rein in the destruction master. But admit it, it looks like fun in there!

One of Jonas' favorite activities is standing holding on to this crib toy and headbanging to the music it plays. Not too conducive to his sleep but quite hilarious to watch.

Jonas goes retro in his mom's old t-shirt and jeans. If you need proof that the outfit really is straight out of 1978, please note that the shirt indeed says "Have a nice day"

Jonas spends a lot of time shaking the gate to the stairs. Grandpa Wagner says all he needs is his tin cup.

With the addition of his window treatments, Jonas' room is finally complete - and only a scant 8-1/2 months after his birth.

Jonas loves to comb his own hair
IMG_2064

J likes these kitchen utensils because he thinks he's not supposed to have them
IMG_2130

But if you attempt to take his comb, you will feel his wrath

We told Jonas it has become cliche to reenact the scene from Risky Business, but he still insists on dancing pantsless

|
One day, Jonas woke up and decided to dedicate his life to corn popping.
IMG_3019
|
Sometimes pushing the popper starts to slow him down too much, but instead of just putting it down and continuing on his way, he opts to carry it around just in case a popping emergency arises.
IMG_3016
|
Jonas requests no photos while he's corn popping.

One night Jonas decided to pull all the contents out of a full laundry basket and climb in himself. He then began to put the laundry back into the basket but forget to take himself out first.
IMG_3145
|
|
Here he is becoming ..xit part of the plan
|
The toilet paper bandit struck the morning after the laundry basket incident.

Jonas has a serious animal cookie habit. His mouth was already full so here he is trying his nose.

Jonas went to an Easter egg hunt. He liked picking up eggs with candy for mom and everything, but mostly he just wanted to follow a little girl who had an Elmo Easter basket.

Jonas loves to help unload the dishwasher. The people who made the dishwasher probably wouldn't think it was a very good idea for him to be standing on the door.
IMG_3302
|
Ella looks up from the book she's been reading Jonas
IMG_3426

Ella studiously goes back to her Pooh story, while Jonas gets ready to ham it up. This is in keeping with their solemn vow to never look at the camera at the same time.

|

|
Watching for polar bears
IMG_3640
|
When Jonas sees something (or someone) he loves, he likes to say hi and then give it a hug. The object of his affection is usually a stuffed animal or a friend or family member. This time it was the toilet paper roll.
IMG_3764
|
Doug walked in his MBA graduation ceremony on May 5th. Everyone looks pretty happy about it except Jonas, who pretty much just wants to get down and resume attempts to eat pebbles off of the field
IMG_3745
|
Jonas is so proud of Dad!
IMG_3730
|
This is something cool Jonas learned by watching Owen last summer. While O prefers a pink flip-flop for this maneuver, he recommends a more sturdy pink shoe for beginners.

Getting a haircut is extremely serious business

|
Seems the loss of one of his toenails in a dramatic Father's Day toy car mishap was not enough for Jonas so about a week later he went sidewalk surfing on his forehead. Here he is enjoying the resulting unlimited spaghetti and attention.

|
The fascination with..le's shoes continues
|
Jonas is now doing the dance of joy with his bread. This went on for some time. We promise that we do feed him. Frequently.
IMG_4554
|
Jonas was so relentless trying to get to a loaf of bread on the shelf one day that his mom finally gave in, sure he would lose interest once he tasted plain bread. Instead, he was thrilled with his coup and posed for many victorious pictures.
IMG_4541
|
Sock Monkey wasn't as obedient. Jonas was pretty appalled but he has no control over Sock Monkey's actions.
IMG_4674
|
The bread thing was so successful that he tried smuggling some buns later in the day.
IMG_4561
|
Here is Jonas having a wonderful time with his play dough, even though he kept having to remind himself out loud not to eat it

Jonas recently became very attached to a squash he found in the pantry and wanted to carry it with him at all times. We won't tell you what ultimately became of this new lovey.
IMG_5090
|
Here is Jonas in his new "toolbox". Yes, it's a sled and we don't know why he calls it a toolbox. But for a couple days he didn't want to be anywhere besides the toolbox.
IMG_5095
|
Here are all the elements of a great day for Jonas
IMG_5316
|
J can't resist a laundry basket, particularly if the laundry is clean and he is not. We can't remember why he was wearing a pajama top and jeans here. There may have been a good explanation, but probably not.
IMG_5321
|
Bribery with pumpkin Peeps makes for nice smiles for the camera
IMG_5363
|
Jonas didn't get to trick-or-treat much because he was recovering from being sick but he did get to go out in his costume for a bit before kicking back in the house with some Cheese Nips and the Great Pumpkin

|
This is during the famed sting cheese dance. The dance involves the music from the Learning Table in the background and a string cheese that is purely accessory and will later be handed back to mom or dad uneaten.
IMG_5750
|
Jonas was still in a Halloween frame of mind when we took him to Bronners. He was willing to lug this pumpkin as far as we would let him.
IMG_5668
|
After playing outside one day and discovering the fun of mittens, Jonas wanted to continue wearing them for the rest of the afternoon. He was a little confused by his sudden lack of fine motor skills but he was willing to deal with it.
