My precious boy!

I really wanted Jonah to walk, as many first time parents do, and many many people told me to cherish the time before he could walk. I did cherish that time, but I still wanted him to walk and now he is officially a walker. In just two days he went from talking 6, 7, or 8 steps in a row between Micah and I or my mom and I to walking across rooms, turning corners, and walking outside downtown Morris! It is soooooooooooo cute!!!! He walks with his arms straight out in front of him:) It is going to be a little bit of a tougher task for me though starting on Monday when he's walking this much and I'm at home with him by myself. I will be getting a lot more exercise following him around the house I'm sure! In just a few days he has also gone to saying Mama here and there to saying it all the time!!! He walks to me saying Mama the whole way...it melts my heart!

We have been in Morris all week and it has been wonderful. Last weekend Micah was here too and we spent time staying at his parents house. Saturday night we went to Princeton, IL for one of my best friend's weddings and it was a blast!! I got to see my girlfriends from college Bible study and I hadn't seen them in forever (a few of them had not even met Jonah!) Then Micah went back home to WI on Sunday evening to work for a few days and Jonah and I stayed with my parents on Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night and had a great time as usual. Then Micah came back Wednesday evening and we went back to stay at his parents house for two nights and have Thanksgiving with his family. Then Friday morning we came back to my parents and were here last night and had our Thanksgiving today. It was very nice as well. Back home and to our normal routine tomorrow!:)
