superfast re-cap

Josh graduated from LECOM May 29th, he is officially Dr. Glupker! Way to go babe!

We moved back to Ohio Memorial weekend. (thank you again family for all of your help!)

My little sister also graduated from Ohio State's med-school!

Josh and I celebrated our four year anniversary but we were so exhausted from a really late night of celebrating and Jonah waking up at 4am that we both forgot and my mother reminded us. We plan on doing something special together before residency starts.

My brother got married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More to come on this later but their wedding was so much fun!

This has been an incredibly busy month for us. We are exhausted but we're trying to get as much in as we can before Josh starts working at the end of this month. Next week we'll be heading to Michigan to go to Josh's parents cottage and then hopefully we'll have some down time as a family in our home before residency begins.

Hoping to have some time to post more pictures of each event soon. Especially the picture of Jonah at my brother's wedding, he was adorable in his little outfit! 

6 Months...2 weeks later

Sweet Jonah,

Thank you for not caring that your six month post is just now getting posted two weeks late. And thank you for not caring if I've taken a shower, done my hair, make-up, or even brushed my teeth. I will try to not be so crazy about getting all of the boogers out of your nose because I know you absolutely hate me coming near your nose.

You had a great six month appointment, your last one with Dr. Z, we will miss her. You weighed 16 pounds 15 ounces (41st percentile), 26.25" in length (45th percentile) and I can't remember your head circumference but you are still on the small side (9th percentile). Looking at you one wouldn't say you have a small head but I guess your head would look huge if you were in the 40-50th percentile. Your Kika came with us to your appointment (and even Uncle Michael got to be there for a little bit) and I so appreciate her helping you with your shots, which weren't great but not totally horrible.  Thanking and praising the Lord for another healthy report and praying we can find another great doctor in Massillon/Canton.

You have been rolling all over the place. You prefer to roll to the right so we're working on that. Diaper changes have become quite a challenge for me as a toy hardly keeps you distracted.

 Oh my goodness, I love those deltoids!

The week of our move (the week you had your six month shots) your night sleep started getting a little funky, and by funky I mean you were waking up every couple of hours. Between the shots, teething, moving, and late nights due to different graduation festivities, I can totally understand your sleep habits getting disrupted. You are starting to get back on track to sleeping through the night and your naps have been getting better too (praise the Lord!)

I love this picture of you with your Kika. This was the day of our move and it was hot! Your room wasn't set up yet but I know your Kika didn't mind one bit for you to take your nap on her shoulder.

I LOVE how your whole face lights up when you smile and your eyes 

turn into little half moons. So sweet!

 Your papa and I are always talking about what an A-MA-ZING sweet boy you are. We are so blessed and love love love you to pieces! And I'm trying to not take it personally that you have 

started saying "da-da-da-da-da" before "ma-ma-ma". =) I know you love your mama.

Eating solids has been going really well, especially now that we got out your highchair. It has really helped with you not sucking your thumb after every bite, but you still sneak it in there while you're eating. You just started eating green veggies again, I was getting a little worried you were getting a tan from all of the sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash you were eating. I'm hoping to start making some of your food now that we are a bit more settled from the move.

So much has happened already during your sixth month. Your papa (and your Aunt Britt) have graduated from medical school, you moved from your first home in Erie, PA to Canton, OH, and in a couple of days you get to be a part of your Uncle Marc's wedding. With all that has been going on you have been so flexible and so great about us adjusting your schedule and your routine. Thanks for always being so chill when your mama and papa (mostly mama) are a bit on edge.We love you so much sweet Jonahtello and continue to look forward to each new day with you!

The Move/No Internet

Never really appreciated the Internet (& cable) until we don't have it. But we truly have so much to do we don't need those distractions. But hopefully when we get it hooked up on Friday I can do Jonah's six month post. :) Overall, I'd say our move was pretty successful. I don't know what we would have done without our family. I still feel like everything is such a blur. I think things were moving so fast and I was fighting back tears all day from having to say goodbye to our dear friends and our first home together. Our entire married life and my babies were born in Erie so Erie will always hold a special place in my heart. Better get back to organizing so I can enjoy a nice long bath in my new garden tub, I'm so excited about our new bathtub!
