2 Brothers Layne

Check this Kiddo out. He is standing with only a bit of support from the couch and Mommy's legs. Not long ago Jonah did not understand nor have the strength to stand on his own two legs. Isn't this a typical child's reaction to Mom when she is messing with his face? He cracks me up. Jonah was getting tired and wanted to sit down. Just taking a quick breather before we try for round number two. Round number two! Standing up tall for all to see! Oh No, the dogs think it must be time to play with all the cheering that's been going on. Jonah is wanting to bend down and pick up the blue ball that's behind my left heel. He is rather fond of playing ball with his puppy! I have three days to get Jonah and I ready to be apart for a few days. We are in pretty good shape, just a batch of laundry, some packing, and a few lists and instructions for Jonah. Can't wait to see Dave!

Today we had a nice change of pace. Mamaw needed one more shopping trip for wedding odds and ends and she invited Jonah and I to go along. We made sure to ask Gaga if he would mind sitting in the van with Jonah while Mamaw and I ran into a couple of stores. He said he didn't mind so we packed up the van with Jonah's paraphernalia and we were off. While we were in the first two stores Jonah got upset and Gaga was so kind as to burp Jonah's tummy to help him feel better... it worked like a charm! Way to go Gaga, and THANKS! This afternoon Jonah and I played some but mostly he wanted time to play with his toys on the floor and spend some time in his jumper. We seem to have the beginning stages of a good game of chase going. While Jonah was on the floor I got on my tummy and loudly approached him saying that I was going to get him. He smiled, looked right at me and rolled the other way. Then he looked up at me again and smiled in triumph. ...Too Cute! Maybe with time...
