Rainboots

This is my first attempt at a scheduled post so we'll see if it actually posts. Those lovely little rainboots arrived in the mail from Aunt Megan & Aunt Molly for Jonah's birthday and we had to try them on. They have little cats and dogs on them. So cute! He'll probably wear them this spring. Toddler Jonah will be so adorable. I just picked up a couple of 18 and 24 month t-shirts for him on clearance. I figure he can wear a long sleeved shirt underneath when it is cold. I don't really have any definitive plans for this week so I don't know how busy we'll be. Matt is on call the night before Jonah's birthday and then the day after switches to his emergency medicine rotation at another hospital and does night shift. But tomorrow (Saturday) is his first day off in 17 or 18 days. That is crazy! We're all missing him (especially the dogs). The picture below is funny because Jonah has a pacifier in his mouth. Much to my dismay, he would never take a pacifier. I blame the newborn nursery who thought I didn't want him to have one. He has always been a thumb/finger sucker. In retrospect I'm glad because we never had to worry about having the pacifier with us or him dropping it and he has always been able to self-soothe really well. The only time he sucks his thumb is when he is tired and wants to nurse. So I'm sure he'll outgrow it by age 4 (after which we would have to worry about his teeth). Anyway, I found this pacifier in the drawer of his changing table and gave it to him one day to distract him so I could get him changed and he stuck it in his mouth. He doesn't actually suck on it but chews on it for a few minutes before crawling off and leaving it for the dog to take.
