Jonathan was walking out the door on his birthday with a cupcake in one hand and cracker in the other. I asked him to hold his Sippy cup (Yes, he still uses these sometimes) and he says, “I can’t do it Mommy, my hands are full.” I guess he is used to hearing me say that often.
He is obviously having a few jealously issues with James. He has repeatedly asked me to hold him whenever I am holding James and will sit right on top of James if I don't act fast enough. He also has been asking me to spoon feed him- no way kiddo.
He loves to give kisses and is especially sweet during FHE when he knows he is rewarded for good behavior with a treat.
James has just started pushing himself up on his knees. What a lovely little guy.

President Monson - CES Broadcast
The Lord tells us in the Doctrine and Covenants that during the first eight years of our lives, power is not given unto Satan to tempt us as little children (see D&C 29:46–47). We had an eight-year head start on Lucifer.
This information was given by the Lord to the Prophet Joseph Smith back in 1830. In our own time Dr. Glenn Doman, a renowned scholar and scientist who has almost definitely never heard of the revelation quoted, has, through his research, come to the conclusion that “a newborn child is almost an exact duplicate of [a] computer, although superior to one in almost every way.
“What is placed in the child’s brain during the first eight years of life is probably there to stay. If you put misinformation into his brain during this period, it is extremely difficult to erase it.” He believed that the most receptive age in human life is that of two or three years old.3
You might ask, “Why is President Monson emphasizing this? Our first eight-year period of learning is long past.” But you, my brothers and sisters, are going to be parents one day, and you will want to emphasize the importance to your children and to your future generations of descendants of that first eight-year period.
