Jonah's a toddler now. The transformations over the past month have been so astonishingly quick and complete, we've remained interminably on the tips of our toes attempting to keep up. J's walking and talking and doing a great many other things, too, as you'll soon see, if I can only get myself organized enough to catch up here on the latest month of our story.
One big event to which I must make reference, of course, is Jonah's first birthday. It was a simple affair with family, whom we were visiting in Buffalo. Carvel cake--my favorite (and perhaps Jonah's, too, if the blue hue of his lips and tongue after the party were a clue) and a merry round of the birthday song following dinner. Jonah received most of his gifts back home, since our trip out of town was already an extended, luggage-filled affair. Probably the biggest hit was his new sandbox. A toy kitten from his cousin also made the top of list. (Jonah immediately took a liking to his grey Khan-lookalike, whom he aptly named "Khan".) And then there's Dragon: a pretty awesome, giggle-inducing puppet from Grammy and Grandpa.
The birthday-coincident jaunt to Buffalo was actually just the first stop on a long road trip through the Northeast, and I have lots of pics to share from our many stops along the way. In my next post.
