On the go

J-man is one active boy. He is on his toes every minute, always moving, dancing and playing. I have to sit with him and entertain him with a book or an interesting object for him to rest a while. If I don't do this, he'll keep going and going and going and well, you get what I'm saying.

We had a bbq last Sunday and he was loving every minute of it. I was sitting back letting everyone have a turn playing with the man of the hour. He is one popular guy. He was having fun with his grandma's, grandpa's, cousins, aunt and best of all, dad.

I think Jonas gets a lot of his non-stop active nature from Jeremiah. They both want to be on the move, constantly doing something. I'm more laid back, but with these two, not so much anymore. They both love ramen noodles, motorcycles and skateboards. Oh and they are sporting the same wild hairstyle.

We're all a little sad because we are going to be moving soon. Mostly because Jonas grew up in this house and this is the last house Pico lived in.

Last week, we looked at the house we will be moving into and Jonas approved of it by running around, giggling in every room. He was especially fond of the stairs, which terrify me. We are going to have to make sure they stay blocked at all times and make sure he is never alone when near them.

He saw the first step, then looked up and said, "oooohhh.' That is one of his new sayings. If he sees something he likes, he'll say that and looks so amazed at whatever it is he is looking at. The move will be good because we will have more space to store our junk. He climbed up the stairs and only made it half way. His little heart was beating so hard. He then wanted to climb back down, then up again. A good thing about that is, I'll be in shape after following him up and down those stairs.

He is such a goofy boy. When we put sunglasses on him, we tell him, "look at the cool guy," and he'll say, "coo guy," lookin' all cute.

His new obsession is the hose. If we step out into the front yard, he will immediately say, "aba" (agua=water). Since it's warmer outside, we let him play in the water. He wets himself, us, the grass, our chairs, and his orange/yellow toy car.

He has also started saying hi, hola or hello to everyone he sees. Most people ignore him or may not hear him, 'cause he's so small, but he doesn't care. It hasn't stopped him from being friendly. I know that when he's bigger, he'll make friends easily.

Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a cool little guy!
