Images of My Two Favorite People in the Whole Wide World

Born at 6:57 am on March 6, 2007 after 30 hours of labor. He is healthy and likes to poop but doesn't like getting diaper changes. Hallie is feeling much better and looks wonderful. Life is wonderful and I feel happier than I have ever felt in my life. Tired, but elated.

What can I say? I am thrilled about the addition to the family and can't wait to meet my nephew.

You've now experienced the miracle of life and I know you are already such wonderful parents to Jonah. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us through this blog so we can watch Jonah change and grow through your eyes.

All my love to your new little family - Michael, Hallie and Jonah - and peace be with you on your unique and special journey.

Welcome to the club! Only those of us who have experienced birth can understand exactly how it feels. You described it perfectly- Ivan was so frustrated that he couldn't DO anything when I was in labor with Isabel.

Now every moment is such a gem. Yesterday Isabel was cuddling in bed with me and she said, "Mami, soy tu tesoro" (Mommy, I'm your treasure). She was so right.

We are so happy for you and can't wait to hear how Jonah and his parents are changing and growing.

Love, Elena, Ivan, Isabel and Lily

Congratulations! Welcome to parenthood. So, glad to hear that you have a healthy beautiful baby boy. (We will be able to share many stories in the years to come.)Jonah is so lucky to have you both as parents. Treasure your time together--he will grow so quickly.

Hey guys…I’ve been wondering each day on my way to work when your new addition was going to arrive. CONGRATS! We are so happy for you two and really looking forward to meeting Jonah and soaking up all the first-time parent experiences from you both. Who knows, MAYBE (with a LOT of practice) we can be your neighborhood drop-in babysitter service. :) We’ll look forward to visiting soon when you’re feeling ready for extended visitors.

Want some Cheese With That Ice Cream?

By -
The weather was beautiful this weekend and we were fortunate enough to have plans for the beach. We stayed at a beach house in Manzanita Oregon with grandpa and grandma Clark and Auntie Kealie and her boyfriend Chris. We came back from one of 3 trips to the beach today and stopped for some ice cream. Jonah pretty much stole my ice cream and had a wonderful time doing so. He is a happy kid. I love this little boy so much.

Jonah Helps Eat/Prepare Dinner

Jonah loves to help out. Here he is preparing swiss chard to saute and eating the loaf of bread that was meant to be shared by the whole family. We eventually were able to pry the baguette out of his hands while he screamed, "WANT BAG IT! WANT BAG IT ALL OF IT!!!" Even with the bite marks, that Pearl Bakery Baguette was tasty.

Family Time at the Park

. was an hour of fun at Irving Park all together as a family of four. Steering the play structure with intense concentration, traveling through the tunnel on the way to the slide. Then the whole family got on the teeter-totter (or do you call it a see-saw? Is there a difference or is it just a regional thing like the sound a dog makes? Ruff vs. Bark vs. Woof) . Of course leaving such a fun event did not make Jonah a happy boy. But he sure looks funny when he is upset. In fact, feel free to leave a comment stating what you think Jonah would have said at the moment of the picture.
