Box Fun

This goes to show how much fun you can have with a box and your Dad! (Minus the mishap with a spastic dog that occurred at the end of the video. Luckily everyone escaped unscathed, just a little scared.)

Halloween

What a fun Halloween! We started the holiday a little early, with a carnival the weekend before. Jonah dressed up as a cute fuzzy chicken for the carnival. The costume was a bit big, but that means he should be able to wear it for next year. Halloween morning started off with a treat - donuts! Jonah LOVES donuts, or anything sweet, so this was a fun surprise for him. He eats the donut holes, since they are the perfect size for his little hands and mouth. Then we packed up and headed to the Wild Animal Park. The park was decorated for Halloween with lots of spooky spiders, skulls and pumpkins. We planned for Jonah to wear his costume, but true to San Diego, it was too hot! He had a lot of fun watching his favorite animals - birds, as well as petting some soft deer-type animals in the petting zoo. He was a good sport and enjoyed getting out of the stroller to do some walking of his own. Later that evening, we carved our pumpkins and Jonah helped by pushing our chairs out of the way anytime we would stand up! The pumpkins turned out cute, but we are looking forward to helping Jonah carve his own next year. Then, he got dressed up as the cutest scarecrow ever!! He wasn't too happy with the hat and the hood, but I let him hold some "forbidden" clips (he is ALWAYS getting in trouble for snatching them) and he seemed content to let the hat and hood stay on. I planned to take him around to visit some families from church, but things didn't exactly go as planned. He had a good time anyway and we had a great day!

Pumpkin Patch '09

Can you spot my lil' pumkin? He's hiding in there! We went to Bates Nut Farm today to pick out our pumpkins. What a great day! The weather was perfect, there were lots of people there, and Jonah was in a great mood. We ate bbq sandwiches, had some homemade ice cream and looked through the arts and crafts fair. They even had a petting zoo. We had so much fun picking out our pumpkins. Jonah's favorite part was getting out of the stroller to beat on the jumbo pumpkins! Although, he also loved eating the ice cream! We're already looking forward to next year.

First Haircut

The time came for me to give my little guy his first real haircut. I've given him little trims before, to keep the hair off of his ears, but this was the big time. I was a bit nervous, but it had to get done. After a little snipping, it turned out pretty cute. He can still get some cut little baby curls in the back, but it's a little more shapely on the sides. And there weren't any tears (from Jonah or me!)
