Our little Wiseman

Jonah played the part of a Wiseman in his school musical/play.  It was called "Back to the Manger" and the kids did an amazing job!  Jonah started to get a little bored standing/sitting up on the stage so he made many people laugh while trying to cure his boredom.  I am so proud of him for getting up there, he has gotten so much more confidence in himself.

Cookies with the Cousins


Every year we look forward to so many traditions around Christmas.  One of our favorites is decorating cookies and making a gingerbread house with the Talbert cousins.  I think that more frosting ends up being eaten than put on the cookies, but we have a good time!

Jonah's new SMILE

Jonah lost his first tooth on Sunday December 4, 2011.  He was playing at his cousin's house when it just fell out in his hands with little effort put forth by him.  No pain just pure excitement, he has been waiting for this day for over a month!!
Ready for the tooth fairy!! This is the pillow that Mommy, Uncle Mike and Aunt Lori used for out lost teeth.  Grandma Maggy made it when Mommy started getting wiggly teeth 
and now Jonah gets to continue the tradition.

The tooth fairy came!! Jonah received a  Transformer Spinbrush, Transformer toothpaste, $2.00 and a certificate for losing his first tooth.  Jonah was so excited when he woke up to see his prizes, 
he had to call Daddy at work right away to tell him the news!!

I am READY to be a BIG brother!!

John and I took Jonah to a sibling class at The Toledo Hospital.  It was such a cute program!  Jonah learned about the baby growing inside Mommy, how to change diapers, burping the baby, swaddling, what babies are like when they are born and also colored a onsie for his brother.  We took a tour of the maternty floor, a room and the nursery.  It was a very informative class and we are so glad we did it, Jonah is a pro already!
