A month of firsts!

Saying goodbye to Grandpa and Mumzie at the airport

Superbowl Game Face

It's been a while since we've updated you but this month has been busy! Jonas had many "firsts"in his 6th month of life, he's growing up way too fast! Where do we start.......we had our first rolling over back to front and then front to back, our first plane ride, our first tooth, first Giants hockey game with the Pereira's (which both Jonas and Daniel lasted through all 3 periods) and our first Super Bowl! Yes, we have been busy.
Jonas and I left Keith in Burnaby and went off to my parents for a week. We had a very relaxing visit in Peace River and Jonas loved all the extra attention from Grandpa and Mumzie! I wasn't sure how he would like the plane rides but he was great! We had a seat for Jonas on all the flights and we were only a bit noisy when he decided to give some "shout outs" to all the others on the plane. I'm not sure if he felt he needed more attention or if he just wanted to shriek with excitement! He loves to hear his voice and will let out a shriek and then giggle at himself! Some may call it annoying, others may say cute!
We are amazed at how fast time goes as Jonas is now 7 months old! This is a very exciting age and we are noticing more independence and dexterity from him. One of his favorite games at the moment is sitting next to his basket of toys and letting him take each toy out individually and study it, passing it from one hand to the next until he decides to move on to the next toy. As you can see we are thoroughly enjoying our little man.
On a side note, we'd love to hear from you! We're not sure who continues to read our blogs and so we'd love a little hello from you. You can either write on our blog or email at
Thanks :)

    Isn't it amazing how fast they are growing up! I love reading your blog as our boys are so close in age - it is fun to see they are discovering a lot of the same things at the same time!

Hi! My name is Jonas Carter Ribeiro and my parents welcomed me into the world on July 10, 2008 at 1:03 AM at Women's and Children's Hospital in Vancouver, BC! I'm nice and light, weighing 6lbs 13oz and 50 cm long. The Drs and Nurses at the hospital thought I was so cute they wanted me to stay for 10 days to give me medicine to make my blood healthy. It was a bit hard for my Mommy and Daddy but they stayed with me for 17 hours everyday! My Mommy and Daddy have so many family and friends that love them and me, so we always had visitors while I was at the hospital. I was finally able to come home on July 19th. I love having company, call my Mommy and Daddy and arrange a play date with me!

What to Do...What to Do

The first part of October has been fairly routine. Jonas and I try to get out of the house at least once a day and we're part of two baby groups during the week. We had a great play date with the Pereira's this week. It's great having friends with kids similar ages! Keith is midway through another course at SFU and seems to be enjoying it. We've also become involved in the Roots of Empathy program. rootsofempathy.org It's such a great program for school age children. The program is meant to create empathy among young people and reduce bulllying, etc. There really is so much more to it. Check out the website. Jonas is starting to outgrow his baby bathtub....he loves his baths still but enjoys pushing himself off the sides of the tub to see how far he can go! He's wacked his head on the babytub too many times so I think it's time to upgrade to the big tub! He's also become very oral. EVERYTHING goes in his mouth including his thumb which he's fully f...
