I can't believe it's not baby!

He's a toddler that is! I can hardly believe my little baby is a one year old. It makes me happy and sad at the same time, if you know what I mean. He's been cruising around all the furniture for a while now and yesterday he even stood all by himself, no hands. He'll be walking any day now. To celebrate Jonah's 1st Birthday we had a little gathering of family and friends. We had a really nice time with everyone and Jonah got tonnes of fun new toys and some cute new outfits too. He's been having a blast with all of them. Well here are some pictures from the big event.

This is the cake I made

Here he is enjoying (wallowing in) it

And here Jonah is getting the hang of this present opening thing :-)

I was so busy getting ready for his birthday that I haven't even done a post about our amazing trip to California and I've neglected Halloween as well. Jonah is hungry though so they'll have to wait until later.

Summer fun

We've been enjoying summer at the Gordon houshold. It's so nice to be able to take Jonah out of the house without having to bundle him up. I'll appreciate it while it lasts. Too bad it's been such a wet summer. We had hoped to have lots of evening walks with daddy but even on the nice days it seems to rain in the evenings so we haven't had as many family walks as we would like.

Jonah and I got to go out to the Shuswap for 2 1/2 weeks this year! (The benefit of not having a paying job) Sadly Kevin was only able to join us over the August long weekend as he started a new job a few months ago and didn't want to ask for time off this summer since we will be going to Disneyland in the fall!

Here's a sweet picture of my water baby. He loved his little boat so much and looked totally cute cruising around in it. It's hard to believe he's already 9 months old! Where has the time gone?

Even though Kev couldn't be there for most of it we really enjoyed spending time out there with so much of my family. Jonah got totally spoiled my all the constant attention from Granparents, Great grandparents, his Aunt and Uncles and several of my cousins. I'm sure all the fresh air and swimming were good for us both not to mention how well fed we were! The weather was amazing; +30 something most days and drove us into the water basically every day. We even got a little inflatable pool for him to splash in and keep cool when we weren't actually IN the lake. He just loved it!

Jonah has arrived (6 months ago...)

Obviously I haven't done too well updating this in the last 6 months. My only excuse is that my hands have been full (of baby) and I've rarely had a full night of sleep.

On November 8th we welcomed our sweet baby Jonah into our family. He's such a happy, good-natured little fellow and we love being his parents. Here are a few pictures to update you on our little guys' progress.

One day old!
