Jonathan's 1st Day of Preschool

We went to the school a few days before he started to get his paperwork turned in and such. There's a few pics from that day and a bunch from his first day of preschool. He walked right in the classroom on his first day and wanted to jump right into the middle of everything! His teacher said he did great and was happy as could be, for a boy who had to be there in the middle what is usually nap time! He LOVES preschool and we are so excited to see how much progress he is making all the time now!

Road Trip!!!!

In February, we took a road trip to Arizona to see cousin Jacob get baptized. The drive was uneventful and the weekend was fun. Didn't get a lot of pics but here's a few!

Jonathan's 3rd Birthday!!!

On February 8, Jonathan turned 3 years old! What a big boy! We had a great little party with cake and presents and lots of fun! Jonathan got a big boy bed with big boy dinosaur decorations, a sand and water table and lots of fun toys! He had a great time celebrating and we had fun watching him enjoy it!

Happy Birthday Jonathan

Last day at Bright Start

Jonathan had his last day of therapy at Bright Start. It was bittersweet. We miss Jamie and Christine (and Loreen and everyone else) so much but we are so thankful to all who were a part of Jonathan's huge progress in his first 3 years of life! Here's some pics from his last day of OT and Speech therapy at Bright Start with Jamie and Christine!

Things Jonathan learned at Bright Start...

SWINGING!!! 
 (He used to hate it! Found every possible way to avoid it! Now he LOVES it!!!)

BLOWING!!!

HIGH FIVE!!! 

 

PUSHING & PULLING!!! (sometimes at the same time!)

 

HITTING!!! (appropriately of course!)

  

Christine, Jonathan, Jamie

 

Exhausted at the end of Therapy but not too exhausted to POSE!!!

 

Thank you to everyone at Bright Start who made my little guy work so hard and gave him such a great jump on life!
He wouldn't be where he is without any one of you!

Jonathan's First Haircut!

We all love Jonathan's blond, curly hair but it did finally get a bit too wild and crazy! On December 28, 2009, Jonathan had his first haircut. It was not the best experience ever, but not the worst either! (Worst for me would have to be David's first haircut!) I told the girl that I wanted him to still have a bit of curl left so to just trim it a bit but leave it a little longer. She did a great job considering he was squirming excessively, biting, hitting, crying and screaming! I sat in the chair and held him on my lap while he got his hair cut and therefore I was the recipient of most of his bites and hits and NOT the girl who was cutting his hair! Enjoy the pictures!
