Yes, like most kids right now, Jonas has a runny nose. We are learning how to help keep his face clean without smearing the snot up his cheek and into his eyebrows. Mostly, he loves to use your shoulder to wipe his nose, which makes for lots more laundry. We think his runny nose comes from the one day he spends at daycare. He really seems to like it there, as he never cries when we leave him, and seems to enjoy interacting with the other kids and toys.
Right now, the little guy is playing with his Fisher Price activity center. It's this thing four legs that has a kid version of laptop, piano, book, and phone. He love love loves it! Except for when he traps his little finger under the laptop.
He's starting to jabber a bit, and we can make out the beginnings of "da da" which really sounds more like "dja dja." He crawls everywhere now, pulls himself up, and is cruising the furniture. His other favorite toys are the Melissa & Doug frog pull toy, Leap Frog "spin a letter", and cheap plastic phone with rotary dial. And he loves to watch the cat, and follow her around. She's not as excited, as you might imagine.
Jonas is more interested in reading time, and we are really starting to play his CDs. He has about 15, if you can imagine. His Aunt Desi gave him 6 Putumaya CDs for xmas, and they're really quite good!
At our 9 mos doctor visit, Jonas weighed in at 18 pounds and was 28.5 inches in length. He remains in the 50th percentile for head circumference and length, but is quite low on weight. I think that's odd, because he seems fine to me. He's not a linebacker, but his legs still have creases so I'm not worried.
Can you believe our little boy received 5 valentines? His first one was from Caroline, who you may recall is his girlfriend. He got two from daycare, one from neighbor Charlotte, and one from Gramma Helen. What a lucky guy! They are all going in his baby book. Caroline was the only one who sent her photo. I think it may have been perfumed too.
