Buster Boy

It is always amazing to me when we have another baby how they fill a hole in our family that I didn't know was there. Jonas has been no exception. You can already sense his special spirit and we love having him in our home! He turned six months on the 22nd and I can't believe he's already closer to being a one year old then he is a newborn. Here are some fun things about Jonas:

-He got his first tooth just a week or so after he turned five months.
-He "crawls" everywhere and can go pretty darn fast when he wants to. He gets up on his hands and knees and then pushes off his knees and army crawls with his arms. He also does the tepee - where he stands on his tip toes and straightens his arms out, then puts his head down on the floor and his bum in the air. Super cute. And funnily enough Weston did that too and this same age but Saydi never did.
-He is getting better about sleeping good at night. He only eats once but he does wake up two or three times other then that and usually just takes a paci and goes back to sleep. He takes two, two hour naps a day and sometimes one other small cat nap too. Since he was about four months old he has been going to bed before or at the same time as the other two (7:30) and he also takes a nap when they do at noon. It is what keeps me sane!

-He does pretty good with baby food but doesn't like it nearly as much as he likes food he can put in his own mouth by himself.

-He is absolutely adored by his older brother and sister. They love to help take care of him and make him happy when he is sad, most of the time without even being asked to.

-He has many names and answers to most of them! Most often he is called Buster or Jonas. But he also goes by Jonesy, Jones, Buster britches, and baby J.

-He is a mama's boy but also loves to play with his daddy.

-He hasn't had his six month check-up yet so I'm not sure on his stats but the kid is pretty stinking tall! He wears nine month jammies and mostly 12 month pants. He is taller then his cousin Maylee, who is two months older then him, and almost as tall as his cousin Channing, who is one.

-Like all of my babies sometimes Jonas can be a little high maintenance but he's not an unhappy baby by any means. He is a VERY happy boy and is very quick to smile. He just takes a little work when he's tired or hungry and no one is catering to his needs. =)

-He loves to watch Saydi and Weston play. It's like he knows the basement is where he'll have fun playing toys with them because when he gets grumpy I just go downstairs with him and he's happy as a clam.

-He has a funny little quirk of reaching his hands up on top of his head and pulling his hair. Especially when he takes a bath or eats. In fact, he still doesn't hold a bottle because he's busy rubbing his eyes with his hands or playing with his ears and hair. It's cute!

We sure love our baby boy and are grateful for the opportunity to do the boy thing again! He has been such a blessing to our home and we are thrilled that Jonas chose to have us be his parents. We love you Buster boy!
