The past few days...

This 4th of July was great, compared to last year! At the end of last June, I had to have surgery (in my 4th month of pregnancy) so that 4th of July I was stuck in bed recovering. I remember laying in bed hearing the fireworks and wishing I could be watching them. This year though was much better than I could have imagined; because now I have a baby to enjoy things with me, and its so exciting to have him experience new things and see the look of amazement on his face! We went to my parents and set off a few fireworks. It has been awhile since I've even bought fireworks; they ones that you can buy here in Oregon are a little lame, haha. Ahh well, Jonathan seemed to enjoy them! It was a fun day, although a very long day. We had such trouble getting Jonathan to sleep that night because of all our neighbors setting off their fireworks- He kept waking up when each was set off! So it ended up being a very long night as well.

Saturday morning was fun. Jonathan apparently got enough sleep (I don't know how that happened, because I certainly didn't!) and was very happy. He cuddled a lot with me and gave me lots of kisses! :) It was nice, considering that as he gets older, he's starting not to want to cuddle as much. And I think I'm REALLY going to miss that!

Jonathan is sick now. I think he must have gotten a cold at church on Sunday. His nose is really stuffy and he sneezes a lot (which he must think is hilarious because he grins after every sneeze!), and he has a poor little cough. I feel bad for him, but I know we pretty much just have to wait it out.

Last night, after Jonathan ate, I put him on the towel covered floor and proceeded to give him a haircut... and he proceeded to fall asleep... :) It's usually hard for us to get him to sleep for the night, most of the time Jonathan fights it! But not last night. I wanted to give him a haircut, because he was getting a sort of wild look with his hair. So I just trimmed it a bit. I was worried that I would cut too much and his hair would look awful. I've never cut a baby's hair before lol. But it actually looks pretty good, if I do say so myself... :) Anyways, I was almost done giving him his haircut and by this time he's laying down rather than sitting (he kept moving around- it was hard cutting it!) I looked over at his eyes and they are closed... I couldn't believe it! I told Nathan and he looked over and couldn't believe he just fell asleep on the floor like that either! It was really cute. And he was so tired he didn't even wake up when I carried him to his crib.
