4th of July and Jonah's first ice cream





We had a lot of fun 4th of July weekend. Dwight got Friday off so we went to New Smyrna Beach and hiked the dunes to the inlet where the Indian River meets the ocean. We decided that it's our favorite beach that we've discovered so far here in Florida.

On the 4th we visited an ice cream shop that has over 50 flavors of soft serve! I got blackberry and Dwight got mango. Jonah was very interested in the orange stuff Daddy had, so of course we let him try it out - and of course he loved it! I imagine soft serve will become a beach trip tradition.




After ice cream went to the other side of the inlet where the Pont's Inlet Lighthouse is. It's one of the tallest lighthouses in the country and for sure in Florida. Dwight was such a trooper carrying Jonah all the way up to the top.

Jonah's 5 months old and I'm ready to take this blogging thing seriously...

Alright...here's what was missed...

Jonah Allen Renshaw was born January 14th, 2009, 8:04am, 8 lbs 9 ozs, 21 1/2 in long, and I must admit...the most beautiful baby I've ever seen!

Let's fast forward through the last 5 months...









Jonah now has 2 teeth, he can roll over both ways in both directions, he laughs, smiles and FINALLY takes good naps! Of course he chews on everything he can get into his mouth, but his most favorite thing to chew on is fabric. Give him a blanket and he will roll and chew happily forever! He's just a fun little guy. I'm the luckiest mom in the world getting to spend my whole day playing with him!

He shows all the signs that he's ready to start regular food, but we're waiting until he's 6 months in an attempt to avoid food allergies. Poor little guy has some severe eczema so whatever we can do to prevent any other allergic reactions will be worth it. But that 6 month mark is coming pretty fast...I'm sure we'll have some great feeding pictures to post really soon...
