Chuck E Cheese!

Today I took Jonah to Chuck E Cheese for the first time...and he REALLY had fun.
I made sure this was the first place he went..because, of course, Jonah comes first! He didn't want to leave the place, and he actually enjoyed their pizza! He kept on asking for more..enjoy the pics!

Air Plane Ride

Soo..from about Feb or March we decided that Jonah and I would go to Houston for the last week of Easter Holidays. Ever since then, I've been dreading the air plane ride. As you have read in my previous posts, Jonah is a tad bit wild. He doesn't like to sit down! and the ride to houston was 2.5 hours..

I packed my trusty DVD player, doritios chips, coke, juice, and cookies...in hopes that these would entertain him. Well, the dvd player battery died in about 20 minutes. I swore i had put it to charge the day before, but i guess not. he refused to eat the snacks.

he was asking me to take him to the bathroom every 15 minutes. i guess he wanted to go for a lil walk. so every single time i had to ask the man next to us to get up...poor guy.

but overall, he behaved....decent. it could have been much worse! i entertained him by singing to him, counting with him, taking pics with him, and having him hold my ipod.
i took one pic in the plane. >

Sea Captain!

Jonah has the love of the sea in his genes..and I've realized at the easter trip that he loves boats!
He's always asking us to take him in the boat. And any time we do go in a boat, he wants to drive it..right next to my dad!

Check out the pics!

The beach!

For the first part of easter we took Jonah to St. Georges Caye. If anyone had fun, it was him!! He looooved to play in the sand with his toys. He would even attempt to make sand castles. But, I think he's a lil too young to master it! So i helped him make some....but as we made it, he would stand up on it and break it up. Perhaps that was the funnest part.
We took him to swim in the sea, but he claimed it was too "wet". I guess he meant cold, because the water was quite chilly!

Enjoy the pictures!

Moms can have fun too!!

Well, I won't lie. I do enjoy going out with my friends at nighttime. Who says moms cant have a social life? We are regular human beings too! In fact, we may need to go out more than other people to relax and relieve some stress.

I hate it when people have negative comments to say about me when I go out. I leave my baby with the people I trust the most - my parents. They treat him like their own. PLUS, I don't leave the house until Jonah is sleeping, so he doesn't even know I'm gone! All my parents have to do is sleep close to him so that they can hear if (which he wont) wake up. Not a lot of work for them either.

So..other moms..don't feel any way if you want to go out. You go out..and have fun.

Bath Time!

I think that Bath Time is one of Jonah's favorite activity for the day. As I tell him "Bath Time" is eyes light up!
He does, however, hate shampooing. He gets angry with me when I put shampoo in his hair! But too bad for him, it has to be done.

But back to the fun part. He splashes and jumps around and play in his lil tub with his floating boats and balls. He never gets tired of his bathtime toys.He loves the "fishies" and he loves when I put bubbles in the tub too.

Albums completed!

After a lot of hard work, I can say that I've finally finished Jonah's picture albums (well, up to now). I've been sooo behind for a long time. The only pictures I had in the album were of his birth. But about two months ago, I printed over a hundred pictures at Chetumal. I've organized them during my free time, and now they are all in!
I've labeled the albums in order..and it looks great standing up on the shelves! Now, Jonah can always go back to those albums (and so can I) to reminisce.

I suggest that all other parents have organized albums of their kids' childhood. We need pictures to remind us of the past..to bring back memories! And don't wait too long to print the pics out and putting them in the album..you'll get lazy like i did! As you take pictures, you should have them printed shortly after.
I'm sure your kids will appreciate the time and effort put in those albums!
