Rockin' Out
I just got back from a "thrilling" weekend at Women's Ministires retreat. By using "..." can you sense my sarcasim? In any case, I am very happy to be home.
Jonathan is becoming a star drummer, he cries if you pull him away from the drumset, it is pretty funny. We have discovered by giving him to straws when we go out to a restraunt he keeps himself busy and stays happy, I guess he is going to be a rock star.

flying high
Jonathan and edith on the astro orbiter at disneyland. he enjoyed the ride, and was super hyper after.
standing tall
maybe not the best picture, but if you can tell, Jonathan has his hands at his sides and is standing up all by himself. he did, or does this, for 3 seconds or so then says "HEY, i'm not holding onto anything, and sits down".
Good times.
Good times.

These shoes were made for walking
Jonathan got some new shoes, some cool Nike's. We didn't get them because they were nike, but because they were good shoes and really seemed to fit well and had great flexibility. So Jonathan, who hasn't ever like much of anything on his feet didn't want to take them off today. In fact when his Grandma Ortiz had taken them to put them away he started to cry.
He wore out Edith today...he was so on the go, I have the feeling that this is the end of rest for Mommy and Daddy.

napping at church
Not a lot of updates lately, sorry. We had a big youth event at the corps this past Saturday night that I was heading up, had a good crowd, a few other corps joined us.
This is a rare photo...jonathan napping during the day! :) He is definetly changing, his nap schedule has become infrequent, as has his eating schedule. We have been trying to get him on some solids but it is a slow process. He either doesn't take it from us or chucks it back up after he has it, along with whatever else he just ate.
Any suggestions from all the mom's out there on how to ease him onto some more solid foods other than gerber #2's? Right now that is all he will take, he isn't even eating his baby cookies. :(

Sesame Street
Jonathan usually gets to watch an episode of Sesame Street each day, often it is just on in the background as he plays with his toys. It seems he has figured out between the show and playing with his toys who is who.

One Year Doctor Visit
Yesterday we went to the doctor, Jonathan got his shots, which he wasn't to happy about of course. But he quickly got over it and seems to be doing very well. He weighed in just over 25 lbs, which is about what he was a couple months ago. He is 31 inches, so he continues to grow but seems to be replacing fat with muscle, he is a good sized 18 month old baby according to the doctor.
There was some concern that his head was to big as it was sort of off the charts, compared to the rest of him, but we are back on the charts now so that was good to hear....but still......a big head to balance.
Sad news regarding Autotopia, we went back on the 4th to ride and discovered on October 1st the changed the ride requirements from you must be at least 1 to ride, to a height limit, Jonathan is just a few inches shy of it, so sadly we did not go on. We were pretty bummed that we decided to wait till Jonathan was one, to make it special, even though we could have obviously lied, and then have it changed to a height limit. The guy at the front of the line said they were caught off guard, they showed up that monday and they had added the height requirement and raised the one for ride alone drivers.

No one see's the wizard!
Here is Jonathan playing in his Little TIke Town. It is a cute little building that has all kinds of different things all all the walls, a phone, gas pump, little table. It is very cool, check out the flickr site for a few more photos. I will get a video up when I can.

Birthday Pinata Fun
As you all know, Jonathan celebrated his 1st birthday on Thursday. It was a great day...although a little tiring especially for his mom and dad. We woke up and went to Disneyland for a little bit, got a birthday button for Jonathan, went to the petting zoo, Jonathan ate, Edith and I enjoyed a parfait and cinnamon roll, it was a good time. So much that time got away from us and we didn't get on a ride...which was one of the main ideas of going, Autotopia will just have to wait till next time.
We came back and started getting everything ready for the party. enchilada's and carne asada were on the menu. I even tried out making some chili sauce, it got good reviews in taste but wasn't very spicy, but not bad for my first try.
Jonathan had a fun time hitting his pinata with a soft bat, it actually was suppose to be a pinata that you pick a string and pull, and then the next person picks a string, and so on till the right string is picked.....yeah Edith helped Jonathan pick a string and it just happened to be the right one. So candy for everyone!
Thank you to all those who came, sent cards and gifts, and most importantly have kept us in your prayers.
I hope to have a video uploaded sometime today, I used my new camera to capture the day and then roughly through it all together.
