Growing Up

Jonny is getting so big now. He's doing new things every day. His vocabulary is also growing daily. He now says Thank You when you give him things and said I Love You the other day. I haven't been able to get him to say it since then though. He loves to talk on the phone, in fact whenever he's in mine and Jeff's room he always goes to the phone and picks it up especially if it rings. His climbing skills have gotten so good, that he can now climb the ladders and stuff to get to the second level of the playground. He also loves to dance and he understands the different rhythms of songs, because he has a different dance for each. He makes me laugh every day and always reminds me how lucky Jeff and I are to have him!
Jeff is doing well with his work. He still loves his job. His hobbies still include WOW (World of WarCraft) and. . . . . He got to go surfing recently while he was on break. One of his friends lent him his surf boards and wet suit for the week. Jeff had a blast on the days there were actually waves. We really love it out here and will be very sad when it comes time to leave but very happy to be close to family and friends again.
I haven't been doing much. Just my everyday routine of walks, chores, and taking care of Jonny. Life is good! I had an appointment with my back surgeon recently and he told me that more children could defiantly be part of my future. I have my last (maybe) physical therapy appointment on Monday. My back is much stronger now and I know what I have to do to keep it that way. It's so nice to be almost pain free!
This is the slide show I promised a while ago of Jonny growing up, sorry it took so long.

The Monkey House

Our little monkey Jonny is quite a handful. He loves to run and play and climb everything in sight. He has learned to climb out of his crib and we have since changed it to a daybed. He climbs into the rocking chair in his room and loves to rock himself. He climbs into the computer chair and plays with the computer stuff just like daddy. I would have to say that my favorite thing he does is when he picks up the AC adapter to Jeff's laptop and talks into it as if it were a phone. It's so cute!

He certainly keeps himself busy all day long, and I stay busy by chasing after him. My favorite time of day is nap time; because it's the only time when I get to hold him close and take in those few precious quiet moments and I realize just how lucky I am to have him.
