It started with a trip to the natural history museum, where we checked out the massive dinosaur fossils, the sparkly gems, and the creepy insects, among other things. Such fun! Mostly for Mom and Dad, of course, but Jonah had a few good moments, too:

| "Stegosaurus is soooo Jurassic period, Mom." |
 | |
| Sparkly gems have a little more appeal than dinos at this stage. |
 |
| In the Hall of Architecture. Jonah's checking out the off-camera Christmas trees. |
 |
| Family photo time! This is Jonah's first inclusion in our traditional self-snapped family portrait. |
After the museum, since Jonah seemed to be in a good mood, Bryan and I pushed our luck by making a stop at Banana Republic for some traditional Christmas self-treating. No pictures from that event (though I thought of snapping a shot of Jonah fascinated by his many counterparts in the dressing room's 3-way mirror). But once again Jonah showed off his developing patience by being a perfect young gentlemen all through Mom and Dad's searching and trying and buying. So impressed!
Through the car ride home, Jonah chatted with us amiably. Then at home he spent the rest of his seeming endless supply of energy playing in his new Jumperoo--an early Xmas gift from distant Grammy and Grandpa. Jonah loves loves loves this thing. He jumps like a mad man when he's in it, and laughs like one, too. I think it appeals to his desire for greater independence. He so very much wants to be able to move around on his own! Jonah loves his Jumperoo so much it may deserve it's own blog entry in the future, but for now we'll just include one inevitably blurry photo:

| Thrilled to be jumping in the Jumperoo! |
Well, after all this activity, Jonah's more than a little tuckered out now. Time to put our exhausted little man to bed. One big day behind us, but with the holiday coming, there are more than a few other big days ahead, and Baby need his rest!
