all smiles
Here are a few pictures my sister, Shaina, took on Thursday night when Matt and I went out to dinner. Apparently he decided to use up a week's worth of smiles in the hour I was gone, because I don't think I've EVER seen this kind of smile action from Jonah. It's rare that he's this content, but when he is, we can either get a few smiles or at least a few open-mouthed grunts from him. These photos are from the first bath (before all the spitting up) when he still thought bath was a good idea. By the second round, he had definitely changed his opinion. I'm happy to have photographic proof of the happy bath.

He's such a cutie! I love me some Jonah!
Love all his little expressions!
He loooks so much like you!
Sweet, beautiful boy!
He's sooooo adorable!!!
Have a great day!
He is too CUTE!! I LOVE the second picture. Looks like his eyes were rolling while his head was being rubbed. TOO FUNNY!!
The pictures from your other post just break my heart. I can imagine how YOU must feel - wondering how much pain he must be in. What a little trooper he is. We all love your blog out here in cyberspace. Thank you for all the sweet pictures, even the heartbreaking pictures of his blisters, and for keeping everyone updated. You are doing an amazing job of parenting, and it sounds like there is nothing more you can do to prevent the blisters than you're already doing.
Oooh, how adorable!! Big, beautiful smiles! I like how the last picture looks like he's saying "there you go, how'd u like all those smiles?" :)
sweet, bath time is so special!
Absolutely precious!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for letting us share.
Love and prayers from Summerfield, NC
I STILL want to smooch the heck outta that cutie!!! I am HAPPY that he is HAPPY!!!!!!!
Delurking! Patrice & Matt, I've been praying for both of you as well as Jonah too. I am also in the W-S area and ironically your pastor lives in my parents' neighborhood. (I went to youth group at Pinedale too back in the day). Anyways, thought of you when I came across this link:

Hope you have a wonderful Monday! Take it one hour at a time :)
What a cute little fella! Thanks for sharing those smiles with us!
He is just gorgeous! :)
Too cute!!!
I hear ya! My baby girl wouldn't laugh for me - but she would for everyone else- until she was about 6 months old! Hmmm...maybe I'm just not funny :). Anyway, that boy is so cute! Hope all is well today...
How sweet - he is precious.
Oh, he is so precious!Love him, love him! Love him!!!
The octomom has 20 kids and as far as I know, they are all healthy. How can this be? Life seems so unfair sometimes.
Hopefully, God will work a miracle in Jonahs life and heal him. I am praying that will happen.

he is TOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!
That second photo cracks me up. I can hear him saying "ohhhh yeah, could you rub a little lower, please?"
Sweet sweet sweet!!! Jonah is so precious! I've said it before and I'll say it again - love THOSE EYES!!!
...and his smile isn't too bad, either!
Hope all goes well at dressing change time - am continuing to pray!
Love,

I wonder if anyone else talks to Jonah when they look at his pictures. No? Just me? Just now I caught myself saying, out loud, but kind of whispery, "You're a sweet baby boy Jonah. Yes, you are! Sweet baby boy taking his BATH and it feels good, doesn't it..." I'm pretty sure he can't hear me from Texas.
You have such a beautiful baby.
awwww ... so sweet :D
He is so beautiful, Patrice! What a precious little bundle of God's love! Thanks for sharing!

Look at that sweet baby!!! Don't you just love that smile?? He is perfect.
He's just saving his smile for you for the right moment---He knew everyone else was just visiting and needed one then:o) He's looking chubby in the pictures. So cute!!
He really does look just like the perfect mix of his mommy and daddy! SOO adorable!!!
Good golly....he just gets cuter and cuter every single day. It brightens my day to see these cute pics of him. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He's just beautiful! Hugs from MI to YOU!
Jonah is so beautiful. I know it must be very difficult but think about taking him out. I'm sure this creative bunch can come up with creative replies from noisey people.People will love him for who he is not for what he looks like. I would be tempted to say in my sweetest tone,when asked, "I would rather not discuss it right now" and move on ;-) You are a fantastic Mom. Don't forget!!
OMG I could just suck his breath! It makes my heart so happy to see him smiling like that! I remember when my own children smiled for the first times and that I would cry every time! He looks so much like you Patrice!
Loved the date nite pics and you should make a point to do that every chance you get!
I hope his blisters will soon be gone!
And about taking him out, come on Patrice, I knwo you have an answer for just about everything! I sure would not let people's stares keep me from going anywhere with that precious miracle of yours! I would want to show him off to the whole world!
Love you and God Bless your little home everyday!

He is SOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!! Even if he does have a few "football" wounds. He's a boy!
Seriously, you are doing such a great job being his Mom. I admire you is so many ways. Hang in there and hold your head high.
He is seriously gorgeous. We think of you and pray for you often. Ian (age 2) always wants to pray for "Baby Jonut" at lunch time. :)
Love,

JUST PRECIOUS!
He looks so happy!! So sweet!
Oh my goodness ... that little smile could melt a thousand hearts!!!! What a doll!
that adorable boy takes my breathe away. Jonah is so precious..He looks like he is trying to talk, coo. He knew he needed to show off for the camera.
You are probably so right that he is getting more blisters because he is growing & moving around. But you don't focus on the blisters, I focus on those beautiful eyes & his CLEAR smooth skin.
Jonah is a very handsome little guy. I would love to get me some kisses & sugars from that neck. In that 1st picture that little foot makes me want smooch it ..I love baby feet & hands.
Lots of prayers & love to all 3 of you.
I have always loved the story of Joseph, in the bible. God gave him "it". I don't know what "it" is, but he was able to find favor even in the worst of times when his brothers despised him and the Pharoah's wife tried to have him killed.
God gave Jonah "it". It's like when you look at him a spell comes over you and all you feel are good and happy thoughts. He is beautiful beyond words and I pray that God's protection is always on him. I pray for you and Matt also because I think what God gave the two of you is also special and I pray his protection on you as a couple.
Mary never felt special or worthy of God's favor, but she was a faithful servant, as are you, Patrice and God chose you because of your heart.
Keep letting him lead you and he will "carry" you through the hard times.
In His love,
Robin
what a sweetie pie!!
He is sooo stinkin cute!!! He has the most beautiful eyes ever!!!

He's so cute! It looks like he loved the bath!
That little booger, what was he thinking? It almost looks like he was saying, "Yeah, I got me a massage today too?" He is way too precious! I don't think it will matter if his whole face is covered in blisters, he will still be one of the cutest little fellas I have seen! I ain't just sayin' that neither!! ;o)
He is so beautiful!!!! What an amazing family you have.. :-)
Awwww...he's always so adorable! And he's got tons of character in the expressions he makes. Those were cute pics to wake up to this morning...
Great pictures of his bath time! SO cute. I love his expressions!
Still praying

How adorable is he?! I love the first one where you can see his cute little foot. He has a great smile!
So SO SO cute! He is such a happy little guy! Just want to give him a big kiss! Looks like he enjoyed his bath at least! :)
Make sure you check out the Tuesday F. Whitt Annual blog party auction, and help researchers find a cure for neuroblastoma, one of the least funded pediatric cancers, and one of the most deadly at http://www.fundraiserblog.blogspot.com/
I have been reading your blog and am amazed at your awesome family. I was reading some mindless celebrity internet gossip when I came across this: http://www.lillypulitzer.com/page/mommyandme
Some of the proceeds from the sale of these outfits goes to EB research! I don't usually buy their clothes because they are expensive, but who knew they would support such a cause!
He is a beautiful baby!
He's SO beautiful! What a cutie pie!!
Aw, I love how big his eyes get when he's grinning. So expressive! Thanks for sharing more pictures of the little man.
How sweet! I love the baby fat! Grow, Jonah, grow!
Patrice....this beautiful little boy of yours, whom I have never met and never will except when we are both on the other side of eternity, just melts my heart. When my sons were growing up I would literally get a "rush" when I would hold them. Well, looking at those pictures of Jonah smiling (especially the one where his eyes are closed and he is smiling) gave me that same "rush". I pray more than you will ever know for him and for his wonderful parents.
that first one with his foot is precious...such an adorable foot he has :) although it just matches up with the rest of him!
praying!
What a sweet boy! So nice to see him in a tubby and smiling! YEAH!
Keeping your sweet baby in my prayers.
I just found your blog through Mckmama. I will be praying for your beautiful son and your family!
Jonah's smile is just pure joy! Always praying for Jonah and your family.
He is so cute!
Your baby is SO cute! I am praying for him and I know God will bless his life.
May God bless and keep you in his hands.
