Here are some more wonderful pictures that Emily took. Thank you! Jonas was having a blast on the fourth of July! He really enjoyed the mud!!! And might I add, he surprised me with a little more of it the next day when I changed his diaper, if ya know what I mean! He is SUCH a big boy now. He loves to point and ask, "What's that?" He asks, over & over again. And about everything! He knows what a lot of the animals say, and much, much more! He is really saying a lot of words, and communicating so well. He is a joy! And a busy boy!

Here are some long overdue pictures our birthday party, thanks to our friend Emily! Since we are still without camera. We had a WONDERFUL time, and so did Jonas! I think John Deere stock took a big jump that day with all the JD toys that were purchased for him!!! He loves all of his wonderful gifts and more importantly, loved having all his family and friends around him!

Birthday Invitation

Jonas is having his first birthday party soon! We are really looking forward to it. It will be on June 23rd at 5pm, here at our home. We would love to have everyone there to celebrate with us. (Jonas' actual birthday is on the 20th, but we are having his party the sat. after)
Jonas has gotten another tooth on the bottom. This makes 7! He is doing great. Walking like a semi-pro now. I have been enjoying being a stay at home mom the past week and a half. It is a dream come true for me! Jonas and I have been having a great time, swimming, playing outside, cooking, eating dirt, all sorts of good stuff! He is growing so fast, and is a very persistent little guy. And I love so much being his mom!

We Are Walking!!!

Yep, Jonas has started walking, our world is forever changed! He took his first steps two days before he turned 11 months. He is doing even better now, walking farther and better everyday. I do have some bad news though, I dropped my digital camera and broke it!!! So we are without pictures and video for the time being.
:o(
I am almost done with work. I work next tuesday & wednesday then I will be finished. I am excited and looking forward to being a stay at home mom!

Here is Jonas dancing and holding his hand up to say hallelujah! This was was taped around a month or so ago, and please excuse my singing and loudness!

Here is Jonas playing outside with his mom & dad on Wednesday evening.

We are still here, don't give up on us. I just keep forgetting my camera at home. Jonas is doing great! He is close to walking. He love to walk behind stuff like the stroller or anything that rolls. Last night he was making laps around the living room pushing the stroller. (he holds onto the basket on the back of the stroller) And he is "talking". He says "DA" for everything. Dad, Dog, Cow, Cat, it is all "DA". But he really believes he is saying the word! It is very cute. You can tell what he is saying by what he is looking at, but it all sounds the same! Well, have a blessed day & I will try to remember to bring my camera so I can put some new pics up on the blog! God Bless!

Some of these pics are from 3-4 weeks ago, just a little slow getting them posted!

I am two weeks late on these pictures, but here they are! Most are blurry, and a lot of them were too blurry to use. So these are just the ones that turned out. We had a BLAST! And Jonas kissed Eric & Jentry too, but those pic didn't turn out. :o(
My son was very loving that day! Except for the pic where he is pulling John Mark's hair! :o) Love you all!

Be Blessed!

Today we went to the doctor for our 9 month check up, a little past due. Just wanted to pass along the latest stats to everyone. His weight is 21 lbs 6 oz, length 30", head 17 3/4 ". Everything was great. He is a very active little boy with a mouth full of teeth! And that is about it. Just wanted to pass along the info. I hope you all have a blessed weekend. I know that we are planning on it! Oh, I believe I forgot to pass along that Brandon preached this past Saturday evening in Duncan, and will be preaching again this Sunday morning in marlow. Please keep him in your prayers, it is much appreciated! God Bless

playing in the grass

This is how I found my son as I was trying to upload these pictures!! He had climbed two steps, cleared the landing and was heading up the flight of stairs! Wow!

Jonas taking a ride in the Mustang listening the music on the "radio". I guess he thought it was praise & worship music, he is saying "Hallelujah!".

This is my new hair cut, what do you think?? Well, we are doing great! Blessed & highly favored! Jonas has THREE more teeth coming in on top now. They are all through the skin, they just haven't come all the way down yet. When they grow in he will have 5 teeth! He is growing so much and so fast. He will walk behind something he can hold onto and push. So, he will be walking on his own pretty soon I guess! He is such a joy and blessing! Enjoy the latest pictures, and we love you all! God Bless!

Pictures

I am seriously behing on post, I know, I'm sorry! Last week at work, (where I use the computer), was really busy. I didn't even have time to turn the computer on! And this week, so far, I have forgotten my camera at home Mon. and Tuesday. Hopefully, tomorrow I will remember to bring my camera with me to work and post some beautiful new pictures of Jonas! Jonas is getting so big and doing so much now. He is pulling up to stand. And he is one of the worlds fastest army crawlers! :o) Don't turn your back on him, you might not be able to catch him :o) He is into everything that is within reach, and if he can't reach it he will sure try to find a way to! Last week Extreme Home Makeover was in town, and Jonas and I went and saw all of the cast members, everyone but Ty Pennington that is! He was very hard to catch out there. He doesn't spend a lot of time at the houses. Just shoots his film for the show and he is gone. But it was a lot of fun, and we can't wait to see it on TV April the 15th, I think. And of course, I forgot my camera that day also! Oh well!
God Bless and I will get some new pics posted ASAP!!

We had such a busy week last week that Jonas had to resort to bathing in the sink at work! We had a great time attending the Faith Conference here in Lawton every night last week. But because of the late nights, Jonas ending up taking baths the next morning in the sink while I was at work. From the looks of it, I don't think that he minded a bit!! I think he rather enjoyed himself! Jonas also had a good time attending chuch last week. He learned something new, as he watched the congregation during praise & worship he observed people lifting their hands, so he did the same. It was touching! Very adorable. Now he raises his hands throughout the day & waits for you to say Hallelujah! It is so cute! He loves to praise God. Two nights last week he stayed with Papa & Mamaw while we attended the Faith Conference. It was the first time I was able to leave him for any length of time since he has refused to take a bottle. But as he gets older he relies less on nursing & more on food, so it went well. And he enjoyed the time with his Mamaw & Papa! Thanks for watching him!

I would like to say to everyone, Happy Valentines Day! And Mamaw's birthday is just around the corner on the 19th, so Happy Birthday to Mamaw!!! Have a blessed week!

Look what I can do!

Hello everyone. We pray that this day finds you blessed as we are! Things are going great & fast! Jonas is growing so fast! He can really get around these days. He has got the army crawl down perfect. He will occassionally get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. Then he will scoot a little on his knees. And a few times he has been on his hands and knees, then straightened out his legs where he was on his hands and feet. He does something new everyday it seems! He loves patty cake, and has really gotten the bye bye thing down. Just today he says bye bye and waves to the kids as we are leaving their rooms for their naps. (The kiddos I watch at work) He is really understanding it! Funny stuff!

Well, I know I have been a little video crazy here lately, but here are 2 more! He is just doing fun stuff now that pictures just can't capture! So here are two videos of patty cake, and how he has learned to make a new sound. We love you all & God Bless!!!!!

(If anyone can tell me why the sound gets off track on my videos when I upload them I would appreciate the help. It is not that way on my camera, just when it is uploaded???)

bye bye

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, here is a video of Jonas right after he learned to wave bye bye! I am not sure why the video is off centered in the box?!?

Learning to crawl

Hey guys. Here is another video. I just wanted to share with everyone how mobile Jonas is getting & how he is scooting around. The video is a little slow going, as Jonas is distracted by the camera, but his best scooting is at the very end of the video. I tell you everyday he does better & better. By Sunday he could be walking! :o) Just kidding. I just wanted to give you other mothers something to look forward to very soon! Love you all & stay safe & warm this weekend in the wintery weather!

You know the drill, click the link to see the video!

Here is a new video of Jonas playing peek a boo. The quality is not wonderful, but you can get the jest of it. He loves playing peek a boo & has gotten very good at it. If any of you have ideas as to why my camera is skipping while recording video, I would welcome suggestions. Just click on the below link to watch this video!

Everyday is seems Jonas is getting closer to crawling. He is really scooting forward now using his legs and even tippy toes. And he has another tooth coming in next to his first one. So now he has gotten his front two bottom teeth.

Everyone stay safe & warm on these cold days & slippery streets! Jonas sends his love to all!

Just wanted to give everyone a look a the "Jones Place" covered in the recent ice storm. We did survive. Friday was spent without electricity for the majority of the day, and Sunday we with without again for a few hours. But we had fun none the less. Hours of dominos & skip-bo served as great entertainment. We were able to spend a lot of time with family, and that was great! We hope you all stayed safe & warm during the icy weather!

As for Mr. Jonas Kash Dunn, he is quite the talker now. He can say Dada & Bubba most recently. Now, he has no idea what he is saying, but don't tell his dad that!! :o) And he has gotten quite good at the peek a boo game. Hiding his face behind the blankie & pulling it down waiting for you to say, peek a boo! He loves it.

Have a blessed day!
