It seems that Jonathan is just determined to grow up no matter how much Mommy and Daddy would like him to stay little. He has been able to walk for a couple of months now; he just lacks the courage. It's really funny to watch him stand all by himself when he is trying to reach something. But the moment he realizes what's happening, he'll either reach for something or go down to his bum. Here is a video of Jonathan playing with his new toy Grandma and Grandpa Tieken got for his first birthday:

There are a few things that he does that just make us laugh. Like a couple of days ago, he was playing with one of his musical toys, and just started dancing. I asked Cheri to bring the camera so you could all enjoy as well:

He is such a funny, intelligent, lovable little boy and we are very grateful that he is part of our family (and of course are excited for the next one too!)
