Taylor took Jonah for a 4-wheeler ride. He yelled with joy the whole time, especially when they hit bumps. Silly boy. Thank goodness the weather is warming up, it feels sooo nice to get outside!

We went to Boise for the weekend to celebrate my Grandpa Tracy’s 75th Birthday. Happy birthday Grandpa! While we were there I got a five generation picture with my Grandpa’s Mom, Jonah’s great-great-grandma Berg.

While staying at the hotel we decided to take advantage of the pool. Jonah LOVED it!

I played bun-co last night with some girls from my ward. It was fun and we got pretty dang loud. The girls all bring a gift to exchange at the end (winner gets first pick and on down the line). All of the gifts were so nice, hand-made and tied with ribbon, such crafty ladies. I won a handmade table runner that perfectly matches the colors of the quilt I am making, I love it! Thanks for a night out ladies! And thanks for babysitting as usual Mom, what would I do without you.

P.S. for those of you considering sending Nick a package I updated the list of stuff to send him…crossed out a few things and what not. Just email if you have questions on that.

Jonah had his first piece of toast this morning…



And he LOVED it! He yelled at me when I touched it!

Jonah took two steps the other day and then three steps the next day. He’s getting awfully close to walking! AAAAh!

Jonah is officially into the double digits in months of age today. And to celebrate, we went to the doctor! Happily there were no shots involved, just measuring. So here are his latest stats:

Weight: 20.8 lbs (only a 1.4 lb gain since his November check-up!)
Weight percentile: 48% (he’s not a chub after all!)
Height: 30 in.
Height percentile: 90%
Based on these measurements I’d say he’s getting a good start on being just like his Daddy, long and lean!

Jonah traits as of lately include yelling when he wants what you have, opening cupboards and drawers, climbing up the stairs as fast as he can, poking mom’s eyes out and just basically trying to get into everything he can get his chubby little paws on.

Here is Jonah on his 10 month birthday:

he’s not actually sad in this picture, he just likes to stick out his bottom lip.

About to eat the camera…

While Nick is away I have decided that I need to have lot’s of projects to keep me busy. So I have set some goals for myself of things that I want to accomplish. They are as follows:

1. Learn to quilt and complete a quilt
2. Master a new piece on the violin
3. Train for and run in the Couer D’Alene triathlon in July
4. Catch up on my scrapbooking
5. Learn some Spanish
6. Learn how to use Nick’s camera (I signed up for a class that starts next month!)
7. Read a book a month
8. Cook something new once a week

So far I have started working on all of these except the cooking…sorry Mom! I need to start helping cook more often around here!

Here is the beginning of my quilt: (it still needs a border, back and then the hard part, quilting it)
