Jonah and his cousin Jaci

Yummy, cereal with peaches!

Aren't I handsome in my outfit?

Everything went well at Jonah's appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. All of his tests came back normal, which is great. There is really no explanation for his hearing loss but we're okay with that. God has a plan!
I started back to school last week. It was hard leaving Jonah but I know he is in good hands. He is eating extremely well. He has been taking 5-6 oz of formula in his bottle and about a half a jar of cereal. He loves his cereal! He has been sleeping well too. Last night he slept from 11:00 till around 8:30 when Jarrett woke him up to go to Trish's! He woke up once, after a bad dream, and then went back to sleep pretty quickly. He is still a great baby, he is happy all the time. Jonah is always ready with a smile and an "ahhhhh!" We are blessed! He weighs 12 lb 2 oz and he just turned 3 months old yesterday.

How cute is he?!?!

Just a little pathetic, don't you think?

Jonah is still doing well. He tries really hard to say something and one of these days he'll surprise all of us and actually do it. He has a bit of a temper. . .he knows what he wants and when he wants it; if he doesn't get it, he lets us know. My mom has told me that I need to read a book about the strong-willed child.

We go to the ear, nose, and throat doctor on Thursday to get further testing on his right ear. For those of you who don't know, we found out that Jonah doesn't have any hearing in his right ear about a month after he was born. The next step is finding out what is causing the hearing loss, so hopefully we'll know more after our appointment on Thursday.

Jonah loves his new aquatic themed gym, it's great for tummy time! Thanks Kent and Jayme Bloom for the Target gift card.
At Jonah's doctors appointment last week our pediatrician told us we could start giving him a little bit of rice cereal or oatmeal. He has a bottomless pit for a stomache and formula and breastmilk aren't cutting it. He's a little messy but he really likes it. He opens his mouth for more and gets his tongue going as he's eating it.

Tiffer has become the official diaper sniffer. . .she let's us know if Jonah's diaper needs changed!
Jonah had his 2 month check-up today. He now weighs 10 lbs 12 oz and is 21 3/4 long! He has been taking his naps throughout the day in the crib in his room instead of the pack and play in our room. He sleeps really well in there because he can sleep on his side easily. During tummy time yesterday, Jonah got really mad and started kicking his legs. He got himself going and pushed himself over to his back! I think it was just luck on his part, but we were still excited about it.

Pool Time

Today Jonah tried out the swimming pool for the first time. Jarrett and I took him to the pool and put his legs in the water. I walked around with him and his feet were dangling in the water. He was half asleep but he didn't seem bothered by the water at all.

Fourth of July

We spent the 4th of July with family. We had a cook-out with Jarrett's family in the afternoon and then in the evening we went to the park for dinner with Aunt Jenna. Jarrett, Jonah, Tiffer and I took a walk before the fireworks started and then we sat at home watching a movie.

Family Time!

Jonah attended his first wedding on June 16, 2007. My mom, Jonah and I traveled to Virginia for the wedding of Jackie Coss, now Jackie Pino! It was a beautiful wedding and Jonah was an angel. He loved being outside and watching the trees and being held by beautiful women!

After the wedding we headed up to Pennsylvania so Jonah could meet his great-great grandfather, who's 91! He also met a few of his great-great aunts.

We then spent a couple days in Cochranton with another set of Jonah's great-grandparents. We were able to lay around and relax after two days of lots of traveling. Jonah was also able to meet cousins and his Great-Uncle Dan.

Finally, we went to Meadville to spend time with yet another set of great-grandparents and more cousins and great-aunts and great-uncles. Jonah and Michaela got to know each other in the crib and on the floor at Papa and Gramma's house. Michaela is about 2 months older than Jonah so they will be great playmates for each other! We ended our trip with a wonderful baby shower thrown by my grandma. We had a great time visiting with family and friends and Jonah was given a lot of wonderful gifts.

Jonah was wonderful the entire time we were gone. He spent the time in the car sleeping and hardly fussed. He is becoming quite the seasoned traveler. He is 6 weeks old now and has been to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. Wow!
