Endless hours of entertainment, that's our baby.

We have started to post photos on smugmug.com. Follow the link at the right hand side of the page to see the latest photos. I think the picture quality is somewhat less, but updating photos used to take Chris three hours and now takes about three minutes. Let us know if the tradeoff is worth it.

Jonathan is a crawling expert! He can move really fast, especially when he sees a gap in our babyproofing efforts. I have no idea why we spend any money on toys for him, since he loves the non-toy items so much. Our DVD player recently bit the dust. Bad news for us, but great news for Jonathan! Chris took out the batteries and gave him the remote. Oh, he loves it so much. Still, he's wising up to the fact that the OTHER remote, and the cordless phone, are much more important to Mommy and Daddy, and therefore more desireable. So I periodically pick up the defunct DVD remote and click it at the TV. Then Jonathan thinks it's working and he rushes over to take it away.

We continue to eat dinner at the coffee table in the dining room. Jonathan sits on the floor beside me. It's getting harder to eat with all the distractions he provides. Sometimes, I choke on a bite because I feel little fingers on my side, where I'm ticklish! That's Jonathan, grabbing hold of my shirt so he can pull himself up to standing. Other times, he crawls right up to the table. He's learned that if he sits close enough, and stretches his neck upwards, he can gnaw on the edge of the table. So we are trying to eat our pasta and choking with laughter as the sight of this little half of a face, staring intently at our plates and making little dents in the wood with his teeth. I also take time to poke little bits of rice and meat into his mouth. Jonathan still gets a little offended when he has to chew food - he doesn't understand why he should bother when he can suck down half a cup of puree in under a minute. So he makes a bit of a face over his mouthful of rice, and rubs his hand over his mouth. Rice everywhere!
