Ups and Downs

Most of the time these days Jonas is moving so fast it is hard to see him...


Until he comes up for air, that is.


He does have more reflective, quiet activities, as well. His artwork has become much more clearly representational (translation, "we stand a better chance of recongizing what it is"). Here is his owl, make entirely without adult input. These shots aren't perfectly clear, but if you look closely you can see big eyes, horns on top (great horned owl being the favorite species), a beak between the eyes, and stubby little wings on the sides.







Unfortunately, asthma still rears its ugly head at times. Recently a cold got him it its talons, and after a couple of nights of coughing until he threw up, we hit upon the right combination of meds and sleeping position. He slept on my chest, while we sat up on the couch. Not my best recommendation for cuddle time with a little one, but we non-breastfeeding parents have to take what we can get :-)



Dr. Gina guessed "croup", and a few steamy showers later, he was back in action. This started out to be a chopper motorcycle, but got co-opted part way through into being an ultralight...
