Adventures of a Family

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.

Maybe you can help us. We need a new blogger url for our whole family blog because our new little baby will be here soon and halliemichaeljonah.blogspot.com just isn't going to cut it. So if you have a snappy title that might work let us know. Also, we are in need of some baby name recommendations and books aren't cutting it. We had to throw out the last baby book we were using. As we went through the boy names one night we came to "Beelzebub" and knew something was amiss with the book. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and cruised through a couple more letters. When we came to the F's and discovered "Frankenstein" I followed that with another F word NOT in the book and we tossed the book. So, if you can suggest names better than Beelzebub Diltz or Frankenstein Diltz let us know. In addition to all of these requests we have one more. Many of you know Jonah is blessed with the coolest middle name ever, TIMETRAVELER, and the new little one deser...

Jonah is learning! Night times are a dream, nap times are coming along. He still protests at nap time, but I am able to put him in his crib fully awake and he lets me know about 2 hours later that he's ready to get up. There is still about 10-15 minutes of crying, and maybe there just always will be. Note to new parents...children are fully capable of learning to fall asleep on their own..so start early to avoid going through this at 18 months when the kid is so much more aware.
