Think this is cute, make sure to click on the picture to see all the other new photos.

Tonight was a good night, with bad news. Jonathan dressed up as Santa and we decorated the Christmas tree while listening to Relient K's Christmas album.

But as I said there is some bad news. I must ask that you keep my family in your prayers, my Uncle George has passed away due to cancer. His promotion to glory did not come as a surprise but I know we all hoped and prayed for him to hang on for a miracle.

Oddly enough I can only think that George would be very happy to see little Jonathan dressed as Santa as George was a Santa wanna be. He definetly had the look, white hair, white beard, and a belly that shaked like jelly. Sickness the past few years had stopped him from dressing up as Old St. Nick as much as he would like, but I know that as sad as it is to see him go, he will be spending this Christmas with the man that was the babe.

So we have a few Mickey Mouse stuffed animals around, two actually were bought for Jonathan, the rest we got for us at some point. The Christmas ones are ours, two of our favorite things, Christmas and Disney.

Things are going well, we had a nice Thanksgiving, it was great to have some days off after some hard work.

Jonathan is already fitting 3 month old outfits and his head fits 3-6. Crazy kid just keeps on growing.

Please keep us in your prayers as always, plus if your not family and don't already know. Please keep my Uncle George and his family in your prayers, he is batteling cancer and things have not been going well these last few days.

Happy Thanksgiving

This is Edith's Grandpa visiting from Mexico. I got to meet him when we went to Oaxaca last time with her mom, he is very nice guy. We are really happy that him and Jonathan got to meet.

Don't have many pictures of Edith and Jonathan so had to post a couple. Jonathan seems to be getting more playful, being able just to sit and relax, unlike before where it was either eating or sleeping.

The next time we buy diapers it will be size 1, no more newborn sizes. Now that he has hit 10lbs he is ready for the upgrade.

Growing Up

Today we went and visited the CHOC clinic where Edith works. Everybody was very happy to see Jonathan and when we couldn't tell them exactly how big or how much he weighed because it has been a few weeks since the last doctors appointment. So off to the scale we went and the results of the weigh in are.

10 lbs
22 1/4 inches long

So after 6 weeks, today is six weeks by the way. Jonathan has gained 2.5 pounds, actually he has gained more than that since babies lose 10% of their baby weight which Jonathan did, and some, So it is more like 3.5 pounds. He was 19 1/2 inches at birth.

Sur"Real"

So like I said before, lots of work this month. Tonight took me and a friend to Hollywood to film a special event at the Laugh Factory for the Salvation Army. Anyways we parked across the street in a big structure of a mall, we go, pay at the auto teller and wait at the elevator. The elevator doors open up and Lindsey Lohan walks out with some people. Way to weird. She blew right by us, maybe the fact that we both had camcorders on tripods made her think we were paparazi! :)

So yeah, that was weird

Wow am I tired, as is Edith. Jonathan keeps us busy, as much as a baby should I guess, but having to work this month really has taken a toll. I am exhausted, it is one of my busiest months with different events, and Edith is tired because I'm not there to help as much and not very usefull after midnight.

Today is a really weird day as I left at my normal time and won't get back till 11pm or so becaue of some filming I have to do. Then tomorrow I have to be back at work by 7:30am. Mountain Dew and Zingers here I come!

Video

Here is a link to a video of Jonathan, he just keeps growing and growing. There are a couple new pics at flickr as well.

Busy Busy

Sorry for the lack of updates and pictures this past week. Pictures need to get uploaded so look for that tonight maybe.

Things are going okay, tired after a long weekend at Men's Camp. Edith and Jonathan went up with me but spent most of the time in the room. Still it was a nice weekend and Jonathan behaved very well.

This is a really busy month for me as it relates to work so don't be to shocked if my updates aren't rolling in as often.
