Life of Jonas and Family

Here is the weekly pictures of Jonas for Weeks 12, 13 and 14.  He is 15 weeks old tomorrow!

Week 12

I didn't take any Week 13 apparently, but Lyla took care of that.  She also took an exceptional one of Jonas being nursed, however I did not feel it was appropriate for the family blog.

After she took that marvelous picture above, she spent quite some time artistically capturing her foot arched and pointed in different directions.  This was an intentional study, as she knew full well what I was talking about when I asked her.

I finally carted him off to the local health unit, and got him weighed on January 14.  He was 16 lbs 8 oz (7.5 kg).

Week 14 (January 19)
Seth captured this shot.  Ignore the sad mosquito bites on his forehead.  The last few weeks I'm frustrated to announce we are losing the battle against the mosquitoes.  We can't quite figure out why it is so bad right now, possibly because it is holiday season and people are filling up their pools and leaving them full when they leave.  Or the rain and sun came in a perfect succession to allow them to multiply rapidly....

We had a number of other decent pictures during Week 14

This scene takes place on the mattress we affectionately call our "couch."

Also during Week 14 Jonas took his first trip to the ocean!  It has been really hot here and almost all of us have been sunburnt in the last couple of weeks, so in general it has not been a great idea to bring a little baby to the beach when he can't have sunscreen yet.  This was around four in the afternoon, when it was cool enough and the sun wasn't as strong.

I thought I'd include a few of the rest of us at the beach as well.

Who wants to come visit? :)

Lastly, here is a photo montage of our four babies.  Shaun and I thought it was pretty easy to tell them apart, but everybody is always asking who they look like so it seemed like a fun little project that grandparents, aunties, and a few others would actually be interested in.  I'll post answers next week, if you want to make some guesses first.

Tchau Everybody!  Until next week!
