Johnny Month 5 - The month of love!

At the end of the month, we went to the Dr. to check on Johnny's red bum**, so we got some new stats to share.

Stats:
17lbs 13 oz = weight
2' 2.5" = height
17.13" = head circumference
**His red bum was fine. Just a bit active with his poops.

Let's get started..........

What a fun month!! I think I may say that about all of them, but we did so much in Feburary. 

The month started with a roadtrip to Yakima for Sarah's babyshower. This was Johnny's first road trip, first over nighter and first baby shower (he was the only guy invited). He ofcourse was a big hit and everyone loved him. His smile is contagious and I love showing him off. It takes just over 2 1/2 hours to get from Seattle to Yakima. Johnny was a trooper and slept 2 hours on the way there and 2 hours on the way home.

Sunday was Superbowl and Johnny was once again excited to have his Seahawks outfit on. He was just a bit upset when he realized the hawks weren't actually playing.

The following weekend, we had Valentine's Day at the zoo (which is now a Fontaine tradition) and Braydon's 1st birthday party.

Since Valentine's was on a weekday, they schedule the Valentine's celebration for the animals on Saturday. It's the best! You get to see so many of the animals, since they tell you when they are going to feed them their Valentine. I think the wolves and gorillas were our favorite. We even got a short video to show the gorillas going after their treats.

After the zoo on the same day, we headed over to Silverdale where Becky and Dustin were hosting a pizza party for Braydon's 1st birthday. Johnny had a few firsts on this day. His first ferry ride to his first friend's birthday party.

Party Hat Johnny!

On Sunday, we took Johnny to church for the first time at St. James Catheral on Capital Hill. Our good friend Pedro goes to this church and after, he treated us to brunch at the Fairmont Hotel. Johnny fell asleep for half the service and once he woke up, he was all smiles for everyone to see. He really seemed to enjoy the sermon and the choir.

Brunch was amazing too and Johnny had his first celebrity sitting. Pedro took Johnny to the lobby to walk around, so Matt and I could enjoy our brunch and he comes back to let us know that George Takei came over and greeted Johnny and him. Pedro asked if he was on TV and he said yes on Star Trek : http://www.georgetakei.com/bio.asp as Mr. Sulu. No photo of this moment, but a story he and Pedro will have to share.

That was a packed weekend.

Johnny's first Valentine's Day. Not only did he make the most beautiful Valentine for Matt and I with his feet, but he also rolled over from back to front for the nanny and later for me. He hasn't done it much since, but he did it.
Our nanny Ix-Chel is amazing and helped our little ones create the perfect keepsake. See Johnny showing it off below:

Pedro got him this bunny (named it Foo Foo) and he loves it

Auntie Nicole came to town and brought lobsters to share. While she was here, we ate lobsters, got the flu (not the most fun), Matt and Nicole went skiing and we all went to the Pike's Place Market. Johnny absolutely loves his auntie. We asked her and Ryan to be Johnny's God parents and they excepted. So I guess now, she is Auntie God Mother.

We miss you Nicole! We cant wait to show Johnny Maine in July!

Johnny had a couple more firsts this month. He went on the swing at the park and has started to really enjoy his door jumper at home.

We also took Johnny to his first beer tasting at the new local brewery that is now walking distance from our house. It will definitely be a Fontaine favorite.

Looks like he passed out from all the yummy samples

What is Johnny doing:

• He loves to be standing
• Has found his big voice and yells with excitment as well as when he's a bit pissed. He talks all the time
• Grabs for toys and switches between hands
• Will drop a toy and kneel down to get it
• We call him 'Johnny No Nap'. His naps are typically about 30 minutes each
• Loves bathtime and will be starting swim lessons next month
• Enjoys smiling at himself in the mirror
• Sits and plays with toys in his highchair
• Can almost hold his bottle himself
• Starting to roll over more and be on his sides
• Put pretty much everything in his mouth
• Watches us eat. I think he is ready for solids next month
• Loves to bounce and swing
• Working on self soothing for naps and bedtime

Just to name a few......

And last but not least, I wanted to recognize us.

Drum Roll Please... as many of you may know Matt got Engineer of the Year for his company. He works so hard and puts in many hours. It's nice to know that he is recognized for a job well done AND, I also got some recogition at work and have a Senior title now. We will hopefully be able to teach Johnny the importance of hard work .......such a mom thing to say!

In March you will see our visit to Yakima to meet the new and wonderful Baby Finn Frenzel. St. Patty's day fun. Uncle Kyle's birthday. Announce the sex of baby Huffaker, Johnny's 6 month checkup AND MORE......

In April is Easter in Palm Springs. We have booked our flights and Grandma and Papa are ready to host us. Johnny will experience sun, pooltime, and golfing to name a few . We even plan to see some good friends while we're there. It's a much needed trip and we hope Johnny is a happy baby in the air, like he is on the ground:) We start solids this month and have a 6 month photo shoot scheduled. This will be the post to see!

I have been ending my recent posts with addtional cute photos of our favorite man. So here ya go.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for the delay in the post this month, but as you can tell, we had alot to share!
