This is the first day of the rest of your life.

Can you really get much cuter than this?

Jonna 3.5 months and cousin Isaac 7.5 months

Almond Butter

Ben loves, loves, peanut butter by the spoonful. Well Jake and I will buy Almond butter every so often from the health food store, make it right there in front of you, no additives, and I love it! But it has a much rougher texture, and really isn't sweet. So, last night, Ben asked for a spoonful, thinking it was peanut butter. The moment I put it in his mouth, he left his mouth open, saying "aghhhh", like he was going to spit it out. I said to him, "Ben, that is almond butter, it is good for you and will make you strong." He closes his mouth, swallows, and says, "MMMMM, almond butter, make me strong" and then carried on.

Noooooooooo! Jooooo-NNNNA!!

The title says it for itself. I am quoting Benjamin when he tells us that Jonna's name is not, "Doll Baby" "Your little Sister", "Sugar Plum" or "Jonna Baby".

Ben only allows us to refer to her actual name! Of course, if he is in the mood, he can call her "Booo-i-ful", or "Suga Pum" Then it is okay.

Smiley Jonna falls asleep

I wish I had this on video, but the explanation will have to do!

Jonna has fallen asleep the last two nights smiling from ear to ear. It is the cutest thing. I will talk to her and without opening her eyes, she grins and grins. I love it. It's like she is thinking, "Oh Mom, I love you and want to hang out with you so much, but I am sooooo tired!" Haha.
