April

April was a busy month. Sorry I've neglected this blog. He's a short recap of what we've been up to.

We planted a garden. It's actually growing, even though I pretty much did everything wrong.

We went to Utah, and worked on our house a little bit. Also visited some family and friends.




Jonah took his first steps.
Drove to California and went to Disneyland with most of Jerry's family. There were 25 of us. It was a blast!!!



My mom came to Georgia with us and visited for a week. We toured a little of Augusta and also went down to Savannah. We saw the place were Forrest Gump sits on the bench and we ate at the restaurant where Julia Roberts catches Dennis Quaid with another woman in "Something to Talk About" Unfortunately I don't have pictures of Savannah, because I forgot my camera.

And I turned 26. Thanks to everyone for the Birthday wishes.

Jonah loves playing in the diswasher

blah blah blah

I want to post something, but we don't have a lot going on. So I'm just going to post some pictures.

Jonah showing off his almost walking skills. We found a great playgroup to go to. This week we met at a gym where there were toys and moms and kids everywhere. It was great. Jonah probably took 3 laps around the gym pushing this toy.


Jonah loves pasta and really wants to share with you.



Taking a walk around our neighborhood. We live in a cul-de-sac within a cul-de-sac within a whole neighborhood of cul-de-sac's. So there is very little traffic, I love it!!


Practicing walking.


Despite his shirt saying "Don't bother me, I'm crabby" He is not crabby, he is laughing really hard.

Happy Birthday Jonah!!!

Jonah turned 1 on Saturday! We had a great party. I didn't have high expectations when we moved out here because I always imagined his first birthday surrounded by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors. I didn't think that we would know a single soul here in Georgia by the time his birthday came, but it turns out that we have made a few, but really great friends. All of who came, and it was a really great time. Best of all, Jerry's parents came all the way out here too!

One of Jonah's most defining characteristics is his love for food and feeding himself. However one that is even more prominent is his tendency to stare at new people. S T A R E. Most people think that it's because he is shy, but really he just really studies new people and things. He likes to figure it all out before he makes any moves.

I thought that he would dig in to his cake in record time, but with 12 people staring at him waiting for him to grab that cake and take a bite, he just stared right back.

"Here's your cake Jonah! Take a bite"


"No?"
"OK, what if I give you a fork?"

"No? OK, what if I put whip cream on top!"

"Just a little taste. No?"

He finally takes a small bite, and...

IT'S GOOD!!!!!!

He kept smiling the whole day.

Jonah and Colton really wanted to go outside and play with the big kids.


Our friends. Lexie and baby Robbie (Neighbors), Paige and Emily Tyler (they moved out here from Eagle Mountain at the same time as us) and Lexie's husband Rob. We also had the Howell's (whom [who or whom?] Jerry knows from Monterey) and Jerry's parents.

Jonah got a swing for his b-day, which he LOVES!



Happy Birthday my little one!
