I'm Gonna Hunt DUCKS!

Daddy got Jonah all fired up for Ducks Unlimited and Waterfowls Edge on TV this morning and then they played with the duck calls. Jonah really wanted to do it like daddy. He made his own sounds when he couldn't get the calls to work. :-)



Guess we are going to have get some more camo outfits, he's outgrown the ones he had last year. As much as he loves to be outside, I have no doubt that he will be a bigger hunter than his daddy.

Labor Day Weekend 2010

We had a great time this weekend doing some work and play.
Friday evening went pretty fast as we had a cranky and tired little boy from the week and he was in bed by 7. We cleaned up the house, watched a little TV, and crashed by 8:30... it's been a long week!.

Saturday we got up and started painting! 2nd round of YELLOW has gotten on 3 of our 10 walls around the house and garage. Josh got the lawn mowed and Jonah got some good nap time in.


Sunday we went to an amazing church service and then to the Chuckwagon Races at the Big4Fair, Nashua. Jonah took his first steps chasing Aiden for his book and truck. We got really dirty sitting down next to the track where Jonah had a place to play and wiggle instead of up in the cramped stands.

Then we went to the Milkcan supper with Grandma and Grandpa Petersen and Camping Gang in Fredericksburg. Jonah wouldn't eat anything but the sweetcorn, practically climbed out of his chair to get the ear on Josh's plate. Later he had some watermelon, but not much else. There was definite evidence of his corn fed supper in the morning.
Jonah played with Landon, another 3rd generation camper, in his wagon, got some fun wagon rides with Uncle Brandon (with wheelies)- those were funny. He climbed all over the ground, in the camper, and never stopped moving. Dirty and tired he went into his pjs kind of late and crashed on the way to Gma and Gpa's house for the night. The greatest part was that he slept in until 7. :-)

Monday we hung out at Gma & Gpa Petersens, after a bath for Jonah and breakfast, Jonah got a tractor ride from Uncle Brandon. We also picked some raspberries and Jonah finally ate some. :-) He's always refused them in the past. He also had a great time feeding them to Gma Petersen.

After all our fun there we went to day 2 of the Chuckwagon Races and got VERY dirty again. It was SUPER windy and the dust was blowing. Jonah really likes to look at the horses and is getting very close to saying "horse" on command, but gets super squirmy when he gets close to one.

We headed home after the races and made it home for a much needed bath, late supper, and books before heading to bed on time. This next week may be short, but I'm sure it will be just as crazy. :-)

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. We surely had one full of memories and fun!

More things you shouldn't do

A few more things you shouldn't do.....
Climb in the old diaper storage container naked! He ended up peeing in there in all of his excitement! YUCK!

A little stuntman, climbed up on here with encouragement from his father. Persistent to get up and clap his hands, he did. He was always pretty sure-footed and got down quite gracefully.

No MORE MULLET!!



Mom got tired of my mullet tonight and came at me with the scissors. I was in the bathtub, so I didn't really pay much attention to her. I guess it is kind of crooked and she says she is going to fix it in the morning. We'll see if I allow that.
Dad says I look way different. He was a little disappointed to not see the cutting, but not mad. Mommy kept my clippings and wrote it all down in the baby book.

Enjoy the pics, NO MORE MULLET!!

Things I'm NOT Supposed to Do

Things You aren't supposed to do....

Like climb on the table and bang on the window.....

Climb up on the lawnmower.... don't have a pic of his most dangerous trick, climbing into the steering wheel, I'm almost always standing over him waiting to catch him....

opening the shower curtain on dad... always has to find him in the AM......

Take the garbage out of the garbage can.. YUCKY!..........

There are many more, too many that I don't have a pic for...

unrolling the toilet paper roll
playing in the toilet water
(bathroom door stays shut now pretty much 100% of the time)
climbing on furniture
emptying all containers or drawers in the house that he can reach

the list goes on and on...

Bedtime Routine












I think we've finally found a bedtime routine that works with no tears. :-)
We take a bath, play and hang out, go to the bedroom around 7:30 to read books. I start the lullaby cd when we sit down to read and then depending on how tired he is we read from 7:30-8ish. We always stop at or right before 8 and end with the same book.
The music is still playing, he cuddles up on my shoulder, I rub his back and tell him how much I love him. We move towards the bed, I turn out the light, give him lots of kisses as I lay him down. Say good night, one last kiss. I give him his teddy and cover him (the fan is on for circulation and sometimes he gets cold). He rolls over and I walk out the door.

The last 2 nights we've been great! Now that I've posted this though I'm sure I'm jinxing it.
