6 Months Old!!!

Today Jonah is 6 months old!!!

To mark this occasion, we went and had photos taken yesterday at "The Picture People" in Burlington Mall.  Jonah was such a good sport-- he slept before and after we got the pictures taken and gave good smiles for mommy who was working hard to get them!

Here's the link to the photos...

Fine Motor SKills, Mr. Hansy!

Jonah has an amazing ability to pick up small things with his hands.  He is particularly fond of draw strings that hang from Mommy's sweatshirt and Mommy's thin gold necklace.  He can pick up just the necklace and hold it in his hand! He also loves to finger tags and Mommy's hair.  This week he learned how to turn off and on the light switch in the bathroom!!! Today he saw a light switch in his room and turned it off!!! Too funny that guy.

Passover Visits

We went to Philadelphia and Baltimore for Passover.
Here's a picture with cousins William (15 mos), Owen (7 mos) and Hannah (3.8 yrs).

We also saw Savta and Saba (Grandma and Grandpa Stern) and went to Longwood Gardens with them. Jonah LOVED seeing all the beautiful flowers there.

Here is a photo with Nana Guyer...

TEETH!

Jonah has two teeth now on the bottom! And no, it doesn't hurt when he nurses. He knows better than to bite the...well, you know.
Today I turned the TV off with the remote and he watched me do it and then tried to reach for the remote afterward. I think he was trying to turn the TV back on-- we never let him watch, and it's a real treat!
He has started trying to "kiss" mommy by grabbing my face and opening his mouth wide and taking a bite.

food glorious food!

Jonah tried food for the first time tonight! We gave him oat cereal mixed with formula and he LOVED it! He put his hands in his mouth after every spoonful (to help swallow) and tried to get his hands in the bowl too!
There was just as much cereal on his face and his bib afterward, but it was fun!

Baby touches

Jonah did something different last night from his usual scratching mommy on the face or pulling her hair. He softly touched mommy's cheek with his hand. Aw!!! So cute!!

Indoor voice

Jonah has been talking a lot and immitating our inflection. The other day I was changing him and he was yelling really loudly... I whispered, "Jonah use your indoor voice". He then proceeded to keep talking in a lower tone voice!
