Sorry Jane from IBC!

(Actually, I was just updating our blog when I got your email.) :)

Easter was more than a week ago! It's crazy how time really flies so so quickly, especially at this time of year, with Jonas doing all sorts of things (walking!) and Jeff finishing up his last semester of seminary and taking trips to Maryland and me, trying to catch up. Jeff preached at our church this past Sunday, which made last week even intenser. (If you want to listen to his sermon on Judges 21, go here. It's not up yet, but will be there soon, we hope.)

Anyway, on to the pictures! Jonas's first Easter was a busy one. It began on Saturday night with dying (dyeing? cause they weren't deceasing...) eggs with the Lauterbachs. I really like that one of the eggs looked like a pimp, even though the person who made it didn't mean for it to! (Flava-flav!!!!)


Then, we made the drive to West Covina to have a late lunch with the family. Here's Jonas in the car in his Easter outfit. He's always very tired after playing with the other babies and missing his nap at church.

He did surprisingly well, despite being so tired. We ate and talked and played. Jonas took off the formal duds and played with his cousin Mason in their matching soccer jerseys from Grandma...
He also got to ride in Carson's swing. He liked it!

And then, we "hunted" for eggs. Jonas "found" 3 eggs! (Thanks Grammy for your help!!!) I'm sure that next year he'll be more interested in the goodies inside the eggs, though Jeff and I didn't mind eating his Easter candy for him.

Correction...

Apparently, Jonas has been holding out on us. He knows how to walk, but just needed the right motivation (ie. cheerios!) :)

10 months old!!! (Double-digits... crazy!)


Jonas is now 10 months old! He has transitioned very well to being "almost 1!" and is doing more or less the same things he did last month. We think he's getting ready to walk (he's taken two steps by himself, but only did it once) and is constantly chit-chatting to anyone who will listen and respond. He takes baths in the bathtub, still eats like a glutton (but in a very cute baby kind of way), and is our little social butterfly. Not too much stranger anxiety (yet...) and still a pretty good sleeper/napper (11 hours a night, two naps a day). He love to chase and be chased and is really fun and curious.


Jonas Clayton, we love you very very very much!!!
