Jonathan "Baby Brother"


Jonathan is such a good baby. He sleeps through the night and kind of calls for us instead of cries. Lizzie has extra baby radar and says "check baby"or "baby crying" before we even hear him yelp. She loves to run into his room, climb on her stool by his crib and look in on him. She will ask, "What's a matter buddy?" He is a happy baby and has started to laugh a little. Lizzie was telling us how a horse sounds and Jonathan started laughing. It was so cute to hear him giggle and Lizzie would start laughing which would make Jonathan laugh even more.

He has a full head of hair, which Darren jokes about and says that he gave him all that he had. Darren also gave him his long and lean body. His little toes are all the same size! It's hard to believe that 3 months have already gone by. It feels like we just brought him home from the hospital. I'll write about that experience a little later.

Lizzie the Big Sister

Lizzie is such a good big sister to her brother Jonathan. She likes to get his diaper for him and shows him all of her dance and singing moves. When people ask what his name is, she says "baby brother". Other times, she calls him "Jon-an" and she throws her "bakesball" to him so he can learn to catch it. She has a little habit of putting her hands in her mouth, and we have been telling her "no hands". She helps Jonathan when he puts his hands in his mouth, she pulls his fingers out of his mouth and says "Fingers Buddy" or "No hands Buddy".

Don't Worry Baby

Auntie Emily came into town, and as usual, Lizzie put on a show. She loves Emily's Mac computer because she can watch herself dance and sing. Darren didn't know that we were recording, but you can see where Lizzie gets her dance moves. The end of this little clip is Hilarious!

Snowbird is just a great place to be with the family. We rode the tram up and Dad took this picture of us at the top. This is our little family. This picture was taken in August, and Lizzie was 2 years and 3 months and Jonathan was 1 month old. Darren especially had fun on this snowbird trip because he rode his bike down from the tram. I don't think he was as extreme as Chris and Nate when they would go straight down the mountain, but he had fun and came home without injury, so that was good. He is already planning for next year, now that he knows what to expect.
