Susan Monson, a great friend of ours and an excellent photographer, took these pictures when Jonathan was 15 days old. She really captured a lot of sweet moments - thanks Susan!

Jonathan's first photoshoot
To commemorate Jonathan turning 7 days old Stephen took these pictures. Stephen's really getting good at this photography thing if you ask me. I love these shots.
.........Stephen told him a funny joke...
.........During one of Jonathan's doctor check-ups, a nurse had to draw some of his blood and the poor little guy howled and howled. The nurse commented that his was the biggest mouth she'd ever seen on a newborn. We are so proud :)
.........Discovering his huge biceps

Such a cute little dude
Funny things Jonathan does (that are probably only funny to us since EVERYTHING he does is cute to two very proud parents):
For some reason his yawns freak him out. Every time he yawns, he screams out afterwards and looks terrified.
Is it just me and Stephen, or are babies bowel movements hilarious? Case in point -- We got Jonathan out of his bed to change his diaper and nurse him. He had peed quite a bit -- didn't expect anything more would be coming anytime soon. I then fed him and while feeding, he let out a really loud, explosive toot which sounded nice and wet :) Stephen heard it from the other room it was so loud -- and of course Jonathan looked very innocent, totally unembarrassed by the whole thing. This in and of itself was really funny to me but read on, it gets much better. A few minutes later, he did it again. I finished feeding him and then we went to change him. While doing so, he started peeing, and ended up peeing TONS (he does this probably half of all his diapers changes btw) all over himself and the changing pads. Meanwhile I was trying to stop the pee from getting everywhere but gave up finally and just let him pee it out -- there was no stopping it. Then right after he finished, he spit up all over himself. So now we have pee all over the place, poop all over his bum and in his open diaper that I still hadn't had a chance to clean up, and spit up on his face and the changing pad. I'm sure this wouldn't always be funny, but we were laughing our heads off. So we clean everything up and put a nice new diaper on him. Man that felt good after he had made such a mess. Not even a minute after we had finished changing him, he looks up at Stephen with his big innocent eyes and lets out another wet, explosive toot. Really Jonathan? We were in stitches at this point - his comedic timing was excellent. And then I changed him again for the third time in 45 minutes. If you'd like to donate to his diaper fund, let me know.
I can't figure out why for sure but almost every time he pees, it all goes OUTSIDE of the diaper, defeating the whole purpose of diapers. It's the weirdest thing. His pee always soaks through whatever he's wearing or puddles up in the bed of the bililight box but not a single drop in his diapers. Finally I tried pointing his thing-a-ling downwards in the diaper when I change him and so far it has worked. Phew. Is that normal? We wonder if it has something to do with the size of his equipment - maybe this is TMI but I think it's pretty funny so I'm saying it anyway...At Jonathan's first ultrasound when the nurse found the thing proving he was a boy, she commented about how unusually big it was. Then at his delivery, one of the first things the doctor said after Jonathan was born was, "Now that's a well-endowed boy." Hmmm...very interesting. So maybe the poor little guy just can't keep the thing in his pants very easily, and the pee just shoots out everywhere else.
There are so many more stories but I gotta stop somewhere.
He's just so cute :)

Here we go again
Well I figure it's every woman's responsibility once she's had a baby to start keeping a regular blog. Sarcasm aside, the truth is I LOVE checking my family members' and friends' blogs daily and am totally bummed when they haven't posted updates and pics of their cute kids for a while. So I'm going to try again to get this blog going, particularly now I have a cute little guy to post pics and stories of. Stephen recently has picked up a new hobby -- photography. We bought him a nice camera for his birthday last year. He has been preparing for months in anticipation of taking some fun pics of little Jonathan when he was born. So hopefully I can get him to post on here too... or teach me how to post the pics he takes.
So, we'll see how long this lasts, but I'm going to make my best effort to keep this blog going this time. I promise.
