Picasa

Laura and Matt suggest that I download Picasa to edit some photos so I did and I could probably spend hours playing with different effects. Here are a few pictures from the baptism that I've edited.

Christmas & Baptism

We've had a very busy week. Jonah enjoyed his first Christmas. He has a lot of new toys to play with and some to put up until he is older. Matt and I made out pretty good too. Although I didn't have anything to ask for because I have everything I ever wanted. I worked Friday and Saturday and then yesterday Jonah was baptized at St. Thomas Church. He was so good. He didn't cry but thought he should join in with the singing, the sermon, and the blessings during the baptism. We were so fortunate to have Laura and Matt bring little Abby who has grown so much in the week since we've seen her. Jonah is a lucky little boy to have Megan and Laura as his godmothers. I was supposed to work today but they didn't need me and I could use the break to spend some time home with Jonah. Matt also has the day off so he and Jonah are watching tv (well Matt is trying to watch as Jonah is squealing, something he just learned how to do yesterday).

Jonah has been a busy little boy this past week. On Thursday he hung out with Laura, Matt, & Abby while I was at work and even took a trip to visit me during the day. They had so much fun and took tons of cute pictures of the two together. Then on Sunday and Monday we tagged along with Matt to St. Louis where he had an interview. Jonah and I did some Christmas shopping. Jonah visited Santa but the 30 minute wait in line made him a bit cranky so he wouldn't smile. Matt is leaving tonight for Iowa and his last interview for 2 whole weeks! We've been missing him. I especially miss him when I have to take care of the baby and dogs and get myself ready for work. We're looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Christmas Tree

We picked up our Christmas tree today. Jonah loves the lights. We usually just do white lights but put colored lights on this year for Jonah. Enjoy the pictures!

The Christmas decorations are up (except for the tree). Now we just need to get Jonah's pictures taken and get cards sent out.

I took Jonah to the breastfeeding clinic to be weighed and he was 14 lbs! He is such a happy baby and is more vocal all the time. He's also starting to squeal. Matt left for Indianapolis today. Jonah and I might go to Springfield with him later this week because we're missing him. I've been sick and still trying to recover. Thankfully Jonah has not been sick. We still don't have any Christmas decorations up which is unusual for me. Jonah and I might do that tomorrow. Enjoy the pictures!

Jonah had his first official snow day. We took him outside for a picture but it was cold, wet & windy so he wasn't a fan. He has really started to suck on his hands a lot lately. He loves sitting in his seat and playing with the toys dangling in front of him. I'm working tomorrow and Thursday but Wednesday Jonah and I are going to hang out with Laura and Abby. Jonah is now wearing 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Enjoy the pictures!
