Thanksgiving part 1

Thanksgiving was great as always! This is turning into one of the only times my side of the family can get together. I have so many photos! We first ate with Zach's family, which was delicious! Then rushed over to my house, and ate ANOTHER turkey dinner! We really do have the best thanksgiving! By the time I'm finished eating, my pants are unbuttoned! 

Every Thanksgiving, my mom goes overboard on new table decorations. I wonder how many sets of dishes she has? 

My sisters and I. Seeing who has the skinniest arm. Who thought of that pose?

We tried to lie Jonah and Luke across our laps, but they weren't feeling like being models. 

My photo editor wasn't working. Sorry for the creepy red eyes.

Zachary and his brother Benjamin showing off hats in Target. 

We ate as much In N Out as possible while there! Jonah was mad he didn't get a cheeseburger.

The weather is so beautiful in Arizona! We could actually eat outside without sweaters!

More to come!!!

Daily activities

  Not much going on around here! But I realized it's been a while since I've posted anything. SO here are some random pictures I've taken of Jonah these past couple weeks. He is cracking me up lately! Jonah is getting so big, and turning into such a little man! Sorry, there are so many pictures here!!

 

     He's finally tall enough to climb up onto the couch! At Jonah's 12 month check up, he was in the 10th percentile for height, 45th percentile for his weight, and the 95th percentile for his HEAD! Yup! Short, fat, with a huge head! That's my boy!!!

                                               ..I think he's growing a little though. 
                        This picture isn't from halloween. I put it on him when our heater was broken. It's actually really warm! Jonah loves trying on our shoes! Too bad he can't walk in them!

               Watching Sesame Street one morning. I think it's so cute how he always crosses his feet. 

                                                      Trying to mop our front porch.

What's been going on over here..

Jonah has now had the croup for THREE weeks! For some reason, his body just isn't fighting it off. Luckily though, he is now on some good antibiotics and a steroid treatment that will hopefully take care of it! Since he has been sick, it's been so hard for Jonah to get much sleep, because of his awful cough. We were putting him in bed with us, (until we realized what a bed hog he is! ) and now, Jonah refuses to sleep in his crib. Especially for naps. Here are some examples of how desperate we are for him to take a nap!

Jonah will usually take a decent nap in his high chair, Sad I know, but at least he is getting some rest. 

Zach had a brilliant idea to put Jonah's crib mattress on the florr so he would feel like he was sleeping in a bed, like ours. It worked great until Jonah fell off the mattress and was wandering around the house.

Yesterday, after many failed attempts to put Jonah down, Zach stepped in to give it a shot. After about five minutes, i heard Jonah laughing. I came in his room and found this. 

I'm glad the crib didn't break!You can tell Jonah was very confused.

But, it hasn't all been bad. Kelley came home from New York.

Dressed like a New Yorker. Supposedly, every girl wears cat woman pants in New York.

Jonah isn't too sick to fix our key hole.

      Or get his chores done every day. 

Halloween

Jonah slobbering all over the candy.

Zach was a nurse, and jonah was a cheetah. Okay, Zach actually had to work.

Jonah wore his costume all day long and all around town! To my surprise he wasn't bothered at all by his hood!
