We are through the looking glass people. It's a brave new world. The future's so bright I gotta wear shades. All those clichés you heard are true. When your kid starts walking (like Jonah!), things change dramatically.
Yep, you got it right. Little Jonah is on the move. Hide the crackers! Lock your women up! Jonah now puts one foot in front of the other and ambulates. Sometimes he even perambulates. He's not the speediest or stablest toddler on the block so your crackers and womenfolk are safe for now. But you have been warned!
Also, because the kid doesn't have enough going on in his life right now, we've started to wean him. So far, two days sans la boobie and he's doing....mmmm...OK. He screams like a banshee for a minute or two before bed (" MMMARRGGGHHHH!!! WHERE'S MY POSTPRANDIAL SNACK!!??? I CURSE YOU AND YOUR OFFSPRING!!...uh..whoops...JUST YOU..NOT YOUR OFFSPRING!!"....zzzzzz) but he's working through it.
So, big changes are afoot. Har har.
Jonah loves him some water.
Above you will find a photo of Jonah and his buddy Cedar during her birthday. She just turned one so join us in wishing her a hearty congratulations. Go Cedar!
Below you will find a list of words that Jonah "says." They aren't all pronounced correctly (e.g. banana comes out as "nana") but that's what makes it so darned cute. Assume that anything in the list that is a noun goes in his mouth. Kudos to Mom for compiling the list. Go GB!

This one's from a while ago, about 4 months. But if you were Jonah's age, that'd be about a quarter of your life so that'd be a long time ago. (Lord knows I don't remember much from the late 90's). It's from our pal Doug's visit in February. See, I'm not the only one who takes tons of photos of the JBM.
What a Dad sees: Cool! A fire hydrant. I'll take a photo of Jonah with that.
What a Mom sees: I am not letting my son touch anything that a dog urinates all over.
Uh....whoops.
