Dear Jonah,

It’s hard for me to believe that you are already celebrating your 1/2 birthday. 6 months, the days have flown by. I remember the days before you were born, wondering who you would look like and daydreaming about all the little details of your personality. I’ve loved every minute of discovering who you are. You are sweet, snugly, such a good baby. When I pick you up your immediately snuggle your face in to my neck under my chin and simultaneously pinch my neck on the other side with your hand. It’s your thing. You love to lay your head on my chest and snuggle at random. You love […]

simple little things

Someone is obsessed with my camera strap. I finally let him “catch” it the other day and he had a good old time. There are so many simple little things that make him…..him. When you add them all up, they equal a whole lot of wonderful.

Peek-a-boo is big at our house. BIG. And hilarious. Luckily for Jonah, there are lots of people willing to jump around every corner for a quick “boo!” throughout the day. It never gets old.

earth day

I decided on Earth Day to add a last minute Earth Day lesson to our homeschool day. A quick pinterest search brought me to this. We listed to Jack Johnson’s 3R’s song, talked about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle. We planted our thyme and rosemary plants that came in our Greenling CSA boxes. I felt pretty good about our little last minute lesson for one afternoon. Until yesterday. When I heard Jude in the kitchen, fussing at Jason…..”Daaaaaad, paper towels are bad! Here, let me put that roll in the trash for you…..” Hmmmm. We might need to revisit….

easter snapshots

Just a few snapshots from our Easter Sunday. We had a chill and easy morning at home. The kids all got outside play stuff in their baskets so we spent our morning with them in a new pool, even if it was a little chilly. In the afternoon we met up with two of our favorite families for a 2nd annual food free Easter egg hunt. It was a blast as always. Ty was our bunny…I was surprised he agreed…although I did have to pay him well this year. Worth every penny. He’s such a good sport and so so good with little kids. I love that about him.

Oh what a difference 6 months makes. Top photo of Jonah and I in an herbal bath on the day he was born – taken by my amazing birth photographer, Leilani Rogers. Bottom photo by my sweet husband. Jonah loves taking baths with mommy so today we took a few photos to mark his 1/2 birthday. I love that he was born at home, in the water. And I love that water always calms him.

I woke up this morning to him nursing on my elbow, smiling and giggling. He thought it was so funny and had Jase and I cracking up laughing. Oh funny baby, it seems like you were […]
