I can't believe I am saying this, but Jonah is now 2 months old, in daycare, and smiling and "talking" ALL the time! It is so amazing to me how quickly he is growing. He went from a little blob of a thing to this tiny person with such personality. So last week, he started daycare. It was really hard the first few days, especially because we both work about 50 minutes away from him. It's hard to leave my baby in the care of someone I don't know. I was most upset about someone else holding him while he took his bottle and he would stare at them like he stares at me, or him smiling like he does at me but to someone else, or missing things like him rolling over. He is playing so much more now. It's hard not to be the one playing in the floor with him all day. That being said, it was really nice to get back to work. I really like the people that I work with, and it was great to have adult conversations. I do so much baby talk with Jonah B, it was nice to be a grownup again. I still miss him like crazy, but it's getting better each day.
Last Friday, he had his 2 month checkup with Dr. Bill. He was 12lbs 11oz and 23 1/8 in long. He is 65% for weight and 70% for height. I am so happy that he is such a healthy little boy! We tried to go without giving him his Zantac, just to see if he could stop taking it. He did NOT like it! It looks like we need to keep taking the Zantac a little longer. We asked about his belly button. It is still very much of an outie. Dr. Bill said it might take a few months to a year to correct, but it should correct on its own. He was wide awake and a happy little camper...until....it came time for his shots :( He got Dtap, HIB, Polio, Prevnar, and Rota. It was SO sad! I do that everyday at the office, but it is so much harder to be on the other end. He just screamed and cried. I held him so tight after it was over. He ended up falling asleep after a few minutes and actually slept most of the day Friday and Saturday. I don't think he felt very good. He had a low grade fever, but it didn't get above 100.6. He had to get a couple doses of Tylenol, though. We were a little worried on Saturday since all he wanted to do was sleep. He didn't eat like he normally does either. He also didn't poop for a couple of days. He grunted a lot and seemed like he was working hard on something. Not sure if it was related to the shots, but it was pretty sad. By Sunday he was all better and back to his happy precious self. Oh, I forgot, after his shots we went to get him a new toy! His Great Granny Jo sent him some money to get something fun, so we thought it was the perfect time. He got a playmat that has toys and a mirror hanging from above and a piano at this feet. He has been kicking so much, so this was the perfect toy for him. He kicks the piano keys and it makes noise and plays music. He absolutely LOVES this toy. It seriously will entertain him for an hour, which is very hard to do. I am so excited to see what Jonah is going to do next. We are getting into the fun stage for sure. He is going to start "talking" even more and rolling over really soon. He is already sleeping at least 6-7hrs at night, so that's about as good as I can hope for, but that might even get longer :) I love my sweetums so very much!!!!!!

| Booboos :( |
 |
| Jonah's first day of school!!! He did so good. His teacher's name is Mrs. Debbie. She is so sweet to him. He likes to go for stroller rides and play on his play mat at school. |
 |
| Mommy did not want to leave Jonah B!!! |
 |
| Off to school and very excited about it! |
 |
| This is one of his all-time favorite things to do. We have been going for a walk every night. He loves to look around at the trees and the sky and hear the birds chirping. Jonah is definitely an outdoor boy! |
 |
| This was one morning when I went to get him out of bed. He was so happy! He had just slept for like 8 hrs and was in a very good mood. |
Another very important thing that I forgot to mention was that Derek had his first Father's Day on Sunday! We went to church with the whole fam, then came back to the house to grill some yummy ribs! I am so thankful that Derek is in our life. He is the greatest Daddy for Jonah that I could ever imagine. We are truly blessed to have such a strong, funny, Godly, caring, and smart person as the head of our family. Jonah is one lucky little boy!
