This month was monumental for Jonah! He has been walking (while holding onto hands) and just this past week took his first unassisted steps! He got up from sitting to standing and just walked right over to Mommy. Boy was I surprised!
As for talking, he mimics what we say, so I say "bottle" and he says, "baba". He has also said "Papa" while looking at a picture of Sam's dad (we call him Papa) after I said it. And, he says "Dada" although it's not clear if that just means, "I want something" or if it actually means Sam.
His favorite activities include: reading himself books (he even turns them right-side-up when they are up-side-down!), of course walking/running, playing soccer (which involves kicking his ball while walking), dancing (he dances every time there is music on) and making music with random things and also with things intended to be instruments.
We started another Music Together class a few weeks ago and he LOVES it. As soon as the music starts, he stands up and bounces around and plays his instruments. So fun.
Today we went to Nantucket. It was Jonah's first time on a boat and he loved it! On the trip out, the breeze was blowing so hard and he just opened his mouth and laughed hysterically. Everyone near him couldn't help catching his infectious giddiness. It's interesting to compare this trip to Nantucket with the one we took last summer. On that trip we spent all day on Nantucket and a leisurely evening in Hyannis. The only issue was that Aliza felt very pregnant -- our bicycle ride out to the beach was a real slog. On this trip we were a lot more hurried and stressed. We spent much of the time worried about Jonah's eating and napping schedule. On the plus side, it's a lot easier for Sam to take Jonah now!
A few weeks ago we went to Osterville on Cape Cod to visit with Jacob and Jenna (who is about to have her baby in September). Jonah went swimming for the first time in the pool where we stayed and although he was nervous at first, he really seemed to enjoy it.
