I love this boy!

I just wanted to say I feel pretty lucky to have this boy in my life. Jon is always doing and saying things that crack me up. This particular morning, he had taken his pajamas off by himself, and I found him in the hall with his swimsuit half way up his legs. It was a hilarious sight! So I helped him put it all the way on, and then he trotted around the house as if he were posing for a photo shoot. What a character!
Then a few weeks later when we were with Wade's family, Jonny picked up Caleb's toy gun and automatically knew what to do with it. He is such a boy! He had never played with a toy gun before, but there he was pretending to shoot everybody with sound effects and all.
Then last Monday, I went to lay down on the couch to rest, and Jon came over to me and said, "Snuggle, Mama?" So of course I pick him up and snuggle with him for a minute. Then out of the blue he says, "Tickle, tickle!" and starts tickling me. So I tickle him back and we're both just laughing and laughing. It was a sweet moment, and I'm glad Wade captured it on camera.
Jon's favorite food is cereal, and he asks for it EVERY morning, even on the mornings that I make fruit smoothies, oatmeal, or french toast. He has the cutest way of asking, "Cereal please?" His favorite kind is Honey Bunches of Oats, and lately, he asks for it several times a day, even when he's just eaten a big meal. I usually have to distract him by suggesting we read books or play cars instead, so he's not eating cereal all day long. He's such a fun, sweet boy, and I sure love him!

He's getting so big! He's definitely losing that baby look. He is adorable.

HEY SUNSHINE! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you! I miss you and love you!
Wish you were here. Your Rock party looks so fun! About the teething and molars, ya, not so fun, EJ did the same thing- up in the night and even feverish with snotty nose. I want you to know that the dental field doesn't teach that that is part of teething, but as a mom, I swear it is! You'll just have to wait till they cut, poor guy! Isaac just started droooling up a storm. I do the ibuprophen and tylenol rotation too. I didn't think the teething tablets helped and ambesol doesn't last very long. Chin up, this too shall pass : )

Eva loves Honey Bunches of Oats too - she calls it "Daddy's Sissal" (which is how she says cereal and it's usually the first thing she says when she wakes up in the morning) Cream of Wheat is considered "Grandpa's Sissal" she's got a name for all of them :)

Cute boy!
