That face. Be still my heart!

4 Months

It's so hard to believe that our little man is (over) 4 months already! The first month or two kind of seemed to drag because of sleep deprivation, but lately the time has been FLYING. It is so bittersweet... I love to see him grow and learn new things, but every time I hold him or feed him I just tell myself, "Remember this.. Remember this.." because I know this small and still kind of helpless stage is so fleeting.

Jonah is getting big! At his 16 week appointment, he was 25 1/2 inches (80th percentile) and 13 pounds, 14 ounces (40th percentile). He is wearing 6 month clothes. We have been working a lot on tummy time, and he is getting great at it. Every morning when he wakes up, I hear him cooing and jabbering to himself; when one of us goes in to get him, he picks his head up and smiles so big. Precious. 

He has rolled over a couple of times from tummy to back in his sleep and during play time, but it is still not a regular thing. He keeps trying and trying to go from back to front, but he is still struggling with that one a little bit :) He is doing really well at holding his toys and sticking them in his mouth. Actually, sticking EVERYTHING in his mouth. We have a thumbsucker on our hands, and can even hear him doing it in his sleep from the other room sometimes. He smiles and laughs, but only if you work really hard for it. Dad is good at getting giggles out of him!

He is also already showing his little personality, and it is hilarious. I think we have a very stubborn and strong-willed child on our hands. Oh no. He is sleeping great, for the most part, so he still isn't eating solid foods, yet. We just love this cutie guy!

January Update

Oh my, where to begin. I have so many pictures to post from the past month and a half. We took our trip to North Carolina to visit the Biltmore Estate, went home to UT and AZ for Christmas, bought a new (to us) car, and had many other fun adventures.

Probably the biggest news we have is that we are moving back to the WEST! We were supposed to move to Nashville next month for another project with URS (the company Jordan works for), but we just felt like we needed a change from the bouncing around all over. We were going to just head to Utah for a little while until he found work, but thankfully, he was offered another position working with his cousin on a start-up project. Soooo....

We are going to Arizona!

It is so funny that we will be ending up there, at least for a while, since it's where I'm from and I know my family has been anxiously awaiting the day we are able to come back (let's be honest... they mostly just care that Jonah is there). We are a little bummed that we won't be able to go to Utah... it would be awesome to be around our family there and give the little man some cousins to rough house with :) Plus, nowhere can beat summer time in that place! However, we are SO excited to be around baby's grandparents, uncle, great-grandparents, and great aunt! It will be a blast.

There's a lot to do before we leave next month, and we will be making a cross-country road trip with a baby. Heaven help us. Also, I obviously need to start getting all bronzed and ripped since it will be swimming weather in, like, February ;) Har dee har

I will slowly be posting some pictures and updates, so check back soon!

December!

We are pretty excited over here that December has finally arrived! This month will be full of excitement... Mr. Jordan's birthday is coming up (the big 3-0!!), his 12 hour day shifts are finally ending (and going to 10 hours... oh well, beggars can't be choosers), we are heading to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville for a little sightseeing getaway, AND we get to go to both Utah and Arizona for Christmas/New Year's. Woo hoo!

We have been pretty busy settling into life with the little man, and poor Jordan has been working his booty off. Once 8PM and the weekends roll around, we are all just happy to get to spend time together as a family!

We have spent the past couple Saturdays going on family outings downtown, taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather, buying a new camera (hooray!), and hunting for a possible new (used) vehicle. Other than that, life has been pretty uneventful. Sorry.

To hold everyone over for a little while, here are some recent-ish pictures of life and Jonah man! Pardon us if some of them are less than stellar... we (me) are still getting used to ISO's and aperture and dinglehoppers and what nots.

 Our precious, drooly little guy!

We just love little baby man so much. He is so fun and we are kind of enthralled with him :) At his 8 week check-up, he was 12 lbs 3 oz and 24 1/2 inches tall. I swear he has already grown much more than that; our little Hulk feels heavier by the day. He has just started to smile a lot more and coos, ahhs, and gasps all day long. He has also started to lift himself up on his arms (mini push-ups), has much better head control, and can stand up and bear weight on his legs if we hold him. What a fantastic cutie guy!
