Jonathan's one month check-up!

Jonathan went for his one-month doctor's check-up today. The tale-of-the-tape: Jonathan tips the scale at 10 lbs., 4 oz. His length (it doesn't count as height until you can actually stand) is 21 3/4 inches. The doctor commented that he is actually tall for his age (ironic since his parents are far from being giants). The doctor was in awe as Jonathan went to town sucking his thumb; apparently babies as young as he is are not so fond of their thumbs. I wonder where he picked that one up from? Regardless, the doctor was pleased to say that he is a normal and healthy baby, despite his mother advising the doctor that he is a maniac from 7 to 10 p.m.

Jonathan is 1 month old!

Only 11 more months until he is hopefully off the bottle!

Working the fields

Helena helped Mommy plant the numerous flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruits that they bought last weekend at Home Depot (it has been raining all week so this was the first chance to get them in).







Getting messy




Jonathan's contribution? Taking a nice nap!

Finally....Go Blue!

I know Jonathan is not even a month old yet, but Daddy has been upset that he has yet to wear anything sporting his alma mater. Mommy must have been feeling sympathetic for Daddy and put Jonathan in this onesie, although it does not quite fit yet. Less than four months until college football season!

Chillaxing!

Are you ready for some football?

Jonathan gearing up for the NFL season this fall. Go Bears!

It's fun to swim at the Y-M-C-A...on the Rutgers Campus!

Helena started swim lessons today; good thing it was indoors because it has been pouring rain all day. There aren't that many pictures because parents were kept out of the pool area and behind thick glass to watch. The class was also cut short because of a lightening warning (the teacher said that they will actually get extra time next week because this week was so short).
