Rainy Day

Yesterday it rained and rained and rained and was so dreary! It seemed like Jonas needed extra entertainment to keep him happy...so mommy had to get creative. First, some explanation about the sunglasses you will see in a few of the pictures. We went on a family outing to Target Sunday to run some errands (oh, how exciting our lives are now!) We thought it would be funny to try these cute sunglasses on Jonas - well, we had to buy them when he refused to take them off and was still wearing them in the check-out line.

Here he is, still wearing them minutes before bedtime. In the morning, he asked for them right away, and instructed me to put them in the front pocket of his flannel shirt. I suspect he has seen Ben do this with his glasses.

I figured out what to do with the massive cardboard boxes that Miles's diapers come in (might as well buy them in bulk!) Cut open, the box is the perfect size for a Jonas tracing! Jonas enjoyed decorating with markers and stickers. Please note, I do NOT think my child looks like Elmer Fudd - HE picked that sticker out himself and placed it squarely in the center of the face before I could redirect him!

Apparently, Uncle Alex and Aunt Katie think that every new big brother needs a shopping cart...Jonas seems to agree, and loves playing with his gift! Note the sunglasses again...and the cowboy boots. The boy must feel he needs to look good for the grocery store.

Naptime and bedtime were even exciting yesterday...At naptime, Jonas demonstrated he could climb out of his crib. So, at bedtime, daddy removed the railing to create a "big boy bed."

And here's Miles, sleeping away the rainy day yesterday...oh, to be one month old...sigh.
