Today I found out just how well Jonathan could walk up the stairs. Usually when we go upstairs, he holds the banister, and I walk behind him just in case he falls. Today he had his play phone, and he was holding it with both hands. I thought he'd let go with one hand to grab the banister, but he didn't. He just started walking up those stairs, not holding on to anything! And he climbed the stairs the whole way like that. Its just crazy how big he's getting, and see all the things he's able to do now!
Rachel came and got him this morning and hung out with him in Salem for a bit. I came in later to pick him up. I don't know why I haven't gotten Rachel to do this earlier! It was so nice actually having a bit of daytime to myself for once! He had fun too; she took him to get hot chocolate, then to the park/carousel, walked around for a bit and shopped. I think it was good for Rachel too, sometimes when I'm around he just wants me, but without me there she had a lot more quality time with him.

Whoa!
So.... I lied, apparently I didn't keep this updated... I can't believe the last post was dated last October! But, instead of boring you with 5 months worth of old news, I will just update you quickly.
Jonathan turned 2 years old in December, and he is talking A LOT! It is so fun to just watch him. He gets excited about the littlest things, and a lot of the time he is the happiest kid I have ever seen! He absolutely loves going to the beach, always wants to go see his "papas" and "Chull". He's nervous around Matt, but he's fine as long as he can keep an eye on him! I'm sure by the time harvest comes around, Jonathan will want to be on that combine riding with him. :) He also really loves church. He's bonded with quite a few people there and is always excited to go see them.
He is learning a lot about where he lives, and about different animals too. I got him some flash cards with wild animals on them; we go thru them and he can tell me what a bunch of them are. One of his favorite animals is the manatee, don't ask me why! But he also knows bobcat, snake, mouse (actually kangaroo rat, but I'm letting that slide lol), deer, skunk, wolf, otter, chipmunk, whale, alligator, beaver, bear, blue marlin, and cougar! (And those are just from the flashcards, there are many other animals that he knows that aren't included in the flashcards!) I go through a lot of things with Jonathan and I think its just amazing how much he learns, and just how much it sinks in so that he remembers it. He is such a smart kid! Not to brag or anything ;)
Jonathan got his hair cut about 2 weeks ago; it was getting so long and unmanageable lol. But I took him to the barber, and told him not to give him a buzz cut, and guess what he got? A buzz cut! I was not very happy, but his hair will grow out, which I'm waiting for haha... then we'll just go somewhere else... or I'll try my hand at cutting it!
Ok, I will TRY(!!!) to keep this updated more often! :) The picture below is not the most current one, it was taken in early January when we went to the beach with Kathy (Nathans mom). It is however the most current one on my computer!
