New Pages & New Jonah Stuff

Well Jonah has found his little voice and now we can't get him to be quiet. LOL! I love hearing the things he says and he will repeat just about anything we say. So we are having to really watch the way we say things (we don't say bad words anyways) but just having to watch our tone and any other derogatory things we might let slip.

The theme of this week has been "I do it mysef!." Whether it's taking off his jacket by himself or opening the door or going to get his toy.....whatever it is he does NOT want any help with it from anyone. He even gets upset if Michael (Daddy) tries to help and Daddy is his favorite! LOL

It is taking some patience from us but we are catching on. As long as he is being respectful to everyone, that is all I care about. He is still very good about saying thank you and please, too.

Jonah is pretty much talking in sentences now and it is just amazing how quickly they catch on with the talking. He has learned several of his little friend's names and once he knows their names he does not forget who is who. He seems to have a really good memory for a 2 year old.

Jonah still loves a routine (just like his Mama) and when something is outside of his routine we've found it's best to let him know what's coming next so he doesn't freak out on us. For example, last night we had a funeral visitation to go to so I was explaining where we were going and what we were going to do (i.e. hug some special people). He wasn't thrilled with the idea because it wasn't in our routine but he did pretty good.

He has been really playing well with his toys and he officially loves trains and trucks the best! Total boy and I love it! Good thing Santa is bringing him a train table this year. :)

I have also had time to work on two scrapbook pages layouts. I used free templates and some papers I bought online. I love how they turned out. I just love scrapbooking fall stuff!
