Fun Weekend!

We had a great weekend (2/12-2/14/11)! On Saturday, Jonah had his first playdate and his first visit to the library. The library was hosting a play group/reading morning for kids aged birth-5, so I decided to take him out and maybe meet some other local moms. I invited Aunt Sara's best friend's sister-in-law (who also happens to be there neighbor) and her 6 month-old, Eli, to join us because we had been talking online, but hadn't met yet! There was suposed to  be 4 other kids, but it turns out that they were all from the same family and they all got the stomach flu! I was very happy that they didn't show up to play. So, it turned out to just be Jonah and Eli, but they had a GREAT time. The library lady took out all kinds of cool new toys and books for the boys to play with and drool on. They both decided that it would be a good idea to put everything in their mouths...good thing the library washed the toys! It was nice to be able to do floor play because it is hard to do at home. Everytime I want to lay Jonah on the floor, Cosmo has to see what's going on and is all up in his face...so we don't do it very often. The library lady invited us to come and play whenever we wanted, even if there isn't an organized play group. I think we will definitely go back!

After the library, the four of us went out to lunch and Jonah sat in a highchair for the first time. He did great!

We had a lot of fun that day and we are looking forward to playing with Eli and Sarah (his mom) again soon.

On Sunday, we took Jonah swimming for the first time! My friend Daisha had given us a bathing suit that he won't be able to wear for very much longer, so I thought it would be fun to see how he liked the water. It was sooo fun! He kicked and splashed and sucked the water off his hands (I know...yucky chlorine...). Here is a video, please excuse how terrible I look. The water is not flattering to me!

Finally, yesterday was Jonah's very first Valentine's Day! I had the day off (furloughs...booo), so I decided to take Jonah up to York to see some of my old co-workers at the JCC. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to show him off! We had a nice time and he was a big hit. As always, he flashed his adorable smile and melted everyone's heart! Jeremy and I usually don't do Valentine's Day, but Nona and Grandpa offered to watch the baby, so we went out for Thai food. Yummy! However, before we left, I took some pictures with my favorite Valentine, the love of my life....

My favorite Valentine!
