Filling up that tub!

Look at me then and....

..... look at me now! Jonah is soon to outgrow that whale!

Grand Harbor Weekend

So, we hit the road Saturday morning early and got to the Mississippi River Museum later on in the AM. We toured around looking at fish, crashing barges (dad hit a bridge and a boat!), watching the otters, tried to find frogs, saw some lizards, and watched a small video about how big barges are and where they travel. It would take Uncle Brandon 60 trips to fill 1 barge. He'd better get busy!
I had fun looking at things, I probably had more fun looking at all the people though and laughing at my cousins.

From the museum we went to the hotel. Everyone was excited to get to the water. I was of course clueless until mom put me into that FREEZING WATER! I yelled at her and kicked my feet. It was not fun! Lots of people, too many people, NOISY, and Cold water. I wanted out. I clung to mom's neck and wouldn't let go.

Upstairs we played on the bed, talked to Maddox, and laughed at Paige. I was supposed to take a nap, but all was failed when everyone came upstairs. I was way too interested in what they were doing.

After a short bath and start of the UNI game, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat and watch the game. We all had a lot of fun. Aiden got to watch wrestling, mommy watched a little track, and we all cheered for the Panthers. I jabbered away in the corner and no one could hear me it was so loud in there. I fell asleep on the way there, but was MAD on the way home. I guess mom and dad gave Aunt Jill my bottle to take along, so it wasn't in the car with us and I was HUNGRY, but mostly tired. I cried all the way to the hotel. Grandma Meyer could hardly take it much longer without crying herself.

Once we got inside we finally got me calmed down and soon after to bed. I slept okay, not the best, but okay. I woke mom and dad & grandma and grandpa up a few times. Finally got them up at 6ish to play and hang out with me. Mommy said it was a short night for her.

Sunday:
We got up and most went to the pool. Not me, I wasn't going there again. I ate some mangos and had a HUGE blowout. Mommy and daddy put me in the bathtub to get me clean. It was really weird to get put under the faucet to get my poo washed off. Mommy and daddy were really making a fuss over how bad it stunk. I slept from the way to Perkins almost all the way to Grandma and Grandpa Petersen's. It was a good snooze, but don't know if I "made up" any of my sleep.

We went to Gma & Gpa Petersen's for Oberheu birthday celebrations. Grandpa Petersen's on the 10th, Great-Grandpa Oberheu's on the 15th, and Uncle Brandon's on the 20th of March. I had fun playing with my cousin Emily and Aunt Carol, but before the Hammitts arrived I was cranky and tired. Mom took me for a drive finally and I konked out for an hour or so. When I woke up I was a little happier, but I really just wanted to be home with just mom and dad. I started to get a tickle in my throat again this weekend. Starting to cough more again. Mom keeps coming at me with that blue sucky thing, I HATE it, but she keeps telling me it is for my own good. Yuck!

Well hope you all had a good weekend too. We'll be back "north" the next few weekends too they tell me. Dad is in a dodgeball competition on Saturday and my cousin Maddox gets baptized Saturday afternoon. Then the next week is Easter... sounds like that is going to be a long day too. Looking forward to seeing all of you!

See my teeth?

This is the best shot I'd let mom get, so if you want to see them you'll have to come see me.

I don't want to crawl!

What a week!

If any of you have seen Jonah within the last month or so you'll already know that his favorite thing to do is JUMP on your lap, on the floor, or anywhere anyone will hold him up so he can.

We've been talking about getting him a jumper like at daycare for a little while and we finally broke down and got him an early Easter present. Much more than we wanted to spend for his first Easter, but it was well worth it after watching him this afternoon.

Our first Springtime walk

It was BEAUTIFUL out today! A whopping 50+ degrees. So despite dad's hangover from the St. Patty's day party last night, we went out for a family walk. Below are a few shots to add to the photo album. I was plenty warm. :-) I started out watching everything, but soon fell asleep. It was a great place to take a nap... I hung out for another hour or so after we got home according to mom.
Enjoy the warm weather!

love, Jonah
