"You're a happy boy"

That's what my mom always says to our cat as she pets him. Makes me laugh because I now say it to my kitty cat, Jonah. Oh wait, he's not a cat! So we left our camera charger in Arizona when we went down for Christmas.If you haven't noticed, all my pictures lately have been from my cell phone and I couldn't stand not having a real camera! Today we got the charger in the mail thanks to my awesome mother in law for finding it and mailing it out so quickly! Here are a few of the pics I took today of Jonah. Tomorrow is his four month birthday and boy is he changing fast!

Ready for Church

Jonah has enough hair now for me to give him a comb over.

The Infamous Nasal Aspirator

Poor little Jonah. The winter cold has gotten to his little button nose. It's made the past couple weeks tough for him. The worst part of Jonah's day is when I have to blow his little nose. He absolutely despises it! I probably have to suction Jonah's nose about 5 times a day. I dread doing it to him. This morning I was holding him as I picked up the nasal aspirator and he went from smiling to screaming as soon as he saw the device. I then realized that he now recognizes when the torture is coming. Oh! I can't stand doing this awful chore to my son! I don't want him to be traumatized and view me as an enemy! What gets me through is that I know he can breathe when I'm finished. Anyway, the cute part of the whole thing is in between each "suction session" . Jonah breathes super fast, with his nose and eyes scrunched as he attempts to get rid of the snot on his own. I was able to record his breathing technique.




I just found an electric baby nasal aspirator online. I'm tempted to buy it, maybe it will make the job easier to do. It even plays songs to distract your baby from knowing whats going on.. but for some reason I don't believe that playful music is going to make the experience any more enjoyable for Jonah. It will most likely just turn any of his other toys with music into a feeling of fear and hate.
