Big Day for Jonas

Jonas had a big day today. He started out waking up in the morning about 8:30. Of course, the first duty of business was to have his diaper changed and eat. Normally, a 2-3 hour nap follows, but for some reason he decided to stay up and entertain Amy, Rory, and Kiley when they came over. Kiley and Rory love holding him and it must have wore him out, because he finally decided to go down for a nap around 1:30. He sleep through the trip to CVS to meet Nan. She had been waiting all week to meet him in person.

After CVS, he took his first trip to Costco and ordered his birth announcements. We tried to do it at CVS, but ran into problems. Don't ask....let's just say Emily took notes and her boss and the DM for that store will be getting an e-mail about everything that did (or didn't) happen during our visit. Jonas is definitely his mother's son, because his favorite part of Costco is the friendly sample ladies who stand at the end of each isle and hand out food and drink. :) Unfortunately, that was just enough to really make him hungry, and he told momma that he needed to be feed RIGHT NOW!

I guess the trip to Costco was enough to get him excited again, because he decided he wasn't tired and he and I chilled out listening to John Denver while momma made dinner. Right before dinner we figured out why he wanted to party all day....his umbilical cord finally fell off. Congratulations little guy....now we can finally give him a real bath.
The little bugger kept begging to stay up all night, but we finally got him to fall asleep around 10:00, but only after I read him two books and rocked him to sleep. He's never stayed awake this much in one day, and never has had a hard time going to sleep so far. I guess we'll see how he sleeps through the night.

P.S. - Jonas wants to welcome another friend into the world. Lukas B. (one of my co-workers son) was born last week. He can't wait to have play dates with Lukas!!
