Jonathan is up to 17 lbs and is 24 inches long. His newest discovery is his hands and he sucks on them constantly (which means he drools all over the place!)... He hasn't quite found his thumb, but he can get half of his fist in his mouth.
I've taken on a new full-time job - mothering Jonathan! I turned in my resignation at the IU Foundation just after Thanksgiving. As my leave was ending, we realized that it would be great for us to take the opportunity for me to stay home while we were able to make it work. It's bitter-sweet, because I loved IUF and the people I worked with, but after waiting for a baby for 3 years, it just made sense for me to stay home with him!
We think he's going to be a sensitive little guy - when I was changing him the other night, I had just finished putting a clean diaper on him when I heard a pretty good 'rumble down under' - I jokingly scolded him and he immediately pushed out his bottom lip and was about to cry - I quickly changed my face and tone to cheer him up and he smiled...but it about broke my heart to see that pouty lip!

We did get our Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving (a tradition that I've insisted on since we got married and Kyle thinks is torture). And in the afternoon there were 2 presents under the tree (a tradition that Kyle started when we put up the tree the first time... and I think is torture). As you can see, Kyle has caved on letting Jonathan wear Christmas attire... (this was a gift from Aunt Beth)
