Well, it happened...on Thursday, October 23rd, Jonas Line took his first steps!!! Maybe thats why I had this anxiety to get home and see him tonight, I am so glad I was there for every juicy first moment of it all!!! What an amazing monumental occassion!!
Such a proud moment!!
Theres that one little tooth that finally came in at 9 months! Where are the rest of them? We're waiting! (By the way Brandi, Will LOVES when Jonas wears the Hawkeye onesie ;)
Got to get him hooked early, right?
My the force be with my binkie
Go Cowboys!! Super Bowl Bound!
Yay, I got to see my cousin Elza in San Francisco where she lives and is finishing her Masters Degree...yes, every single relative on the Poulakos side of the family has at least a Master's Degree except for me, oh and Ariana who just turned 19? No worries I am getting plenty of expereince in the wine industry which I find just a bit more interesting than academics, to each his own, right? It was a short visit with Elza, but fun nonetheless, we met up with her boyfriend and his friends at a nice dinner? But it was 3:00 PM and there were party favors on the table, oh wait was this a wedding? I felt bad crashing a wedding celebration with only 7 poeple I didnt know but Elza assured me it was fine since it was a staged wedding for the young groom who needed a green card...glad I could be a part of that. Well Elza, will it be another few years before we meet again? 
My first trip away from baby Jonas, oh was I excited and nervous all the same. By the third day there I had to remind myself I had a baby, just kidding!! It was so fun to get away and not be in mommy mode for awhile...and not sleep with a baby monitor on...and not wash bottles, change diapers and all that we mommies do everyday without giving it much thought. By day 5 I was missing him terribly! Will did great on his own, Jonas even slept through the night the first night to cut Daddy some slack. Then Jonas had his first overnight at Yia Yia's where he had a blast. He really wore himself out there playing with the puppies and crawling around their house...he had some serious square-footage to cover there!
These are a few of the girls from work being silly outside of Hess Collection Winery.
This was on top of Mount Veeder in Napa Valley...so beautiful out there! 
Mommy's Yia Yia came all the way from Greece to stay with Thia Sophia for a few months. She flew into DFW and stayed one night before they made the final strectch of the trip to Odessa where Sophia lives. Jonas and his Yia Yia were able to see Mommy's Yia Yia too. This is the only living great-grandparent on my side of the family so I was thrilled we were able to spend a little bit of time together.
My Yia Yia has plenty of experience with the babies since she raised 6 herself and now has double-digit grandbabies in Greece...I believe I am the first of the American cousins to have a baby...who is next, Thia Eroica? 
One of the many way Daddy will live vicariously through me...the football stud he never was
He's got the dive down
Uncle Jose was so great with Jonas, even after he stole Jose's hat
Its about time...Daddy's friends David, Jose and Dave only took 9 months to finally meet Jonas, ok, we do live in Oklahoma. This was proof that Dave can hold a baby without dropping it or making it cry for a FULL 5 minutes!
Highchair good times
Are you kidding with that smile? How sweet!
Oh, yes, the first tooth finally made an appearance at almost 9 months!
Super Jonas!
Oh, this was so last week...he can now pull himself completely up, the only problem is he cant always figure out how to get back down.
Jonas is getting impossible to bathe, dont let the innocent look fool you he is a wild man in the tub!! 
These are Miss Julie's kids, Cameron and Angela who Jonas spends each day with, they are best buds!
Denton had quite the parade for such a small little town...we were pleasantly surprised!
Ok, maybe next year Jonas can catch a ride with these guys through the parade
It was pretty hot, but we found a nice shaded spot under some random person's back hatch of their car.
This is a fun game...help mommy do laundry by taking a ride in the basket
Well, Ive got a hold of the sippy cup, thats a start, right?
Happy 4th!
Picnic for two
Red, White and Blue boy
Jonas' first pair of jeans...pretty cute, but its a bit hot, hopefully they will fit in the fall.
Fun time with Yia Yia
Oh, the remote...how did I ever live before I discovered this gem?
