Jordan Jordan, What Do You See?

Jordan was quite the busy baby this week.  On Monday, I took him to Bouncing Baby Storytime at the library.  You clap, do motions, sing songs, read books and play.  It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun and Jordan seemed to have a good time.  He loves stuff like that :) 


Wednesday we went to the park for M.OM.'s group, which is a group I got involved in through church.  I love it because it gives me a chance to meet other mothers, get out of the house, and Jordan loves to be outside & playing in the sand.  The first time we went, yes, he picked up the sand and put it in his mouth (several times).  Good grief.  This time he was much more coordinated at sitting up and I turned a bucket upside down so he could bang on it, thus eliminating the need for eating sand (whew!).  Jordan also loved being in the bucket swing - I can already tell this kid will be saying "higher Mommy, higher!".  


Thursday Jordan spent the morning at my grandma's house while I went to 'work'.  He had a lot of fun crawling around and exploring a new place.  I never fail to be thankful that Jordan adapts easily to new situations and 'new' people.  


On Friday, I took Jordan to meet Delane & Ben's new baby boy, Liam! Liam is 7 months and 6 days younger than Jordan.  Delane & I are hoping that our boys will be buddies :) I had forgotten (already!) what it was like to hold a newborn.  Liam was so precious & so tiny! He was born at 9 lbs 2 ozs so he was on the 'big' side, but oh, he felt so light compared to Jordan (who is only 5 or 6 lbs heavier!).  Jordan tried so hard to crawl over me to play with Liam - grunts and all.  Pretty comical!



Here's Jordan waving 'bye-bye' to everyone! 

I like to move it move it, you like to move it move it, move it!

Jordan is doing very well at the army crawl & it has provided for some amusing moments for me! Our coffee table has a raised bottom that Jordan crawls onto. He has yet to figure out how to crawl out from under the coffee table back to the floor. So he gets stuck with his arms on the floor, legs kicking like crazy & yes ... I admit it, I laugh. It's a funny sight - will take a picture next time!

Our little guy loves to 'pet' our cat Snickers. As soon as he sees her, he gets a big grin and scoots like crazy to get over to where she is. We are very thankful that we have such a well behaved cat (at least, she's well behaved around Jordan). She tolerates his pulling on her fur & will walk away from him to sit somewhere else when she's had enough, only to have him scoot over to her new spot. Again, amusing :) We have a determined little guy.

Jordan is also learning to wave - such fun! It's similar to a bird flapping it's wing, but hey, I count it as a wave :) He is also reaching out to people now, and has figured out a little game called "if I reach out to someone, they'll take me, even if they just gave me to someone else!" back & fourth, back & fourth it goes, until I say "enough kiddo" and leave him with whomever is holding him at the time.

The first tooth is making its appearance, although you wouldn't know it since Jordan sticks his tongue out whenever you try to peer into his mouth to see the tooth. I kid you not, he purposely sticks his tongue out. He thinks it's funny & laughs when you pretend to get frustrated about it. It all becomes a game to him, like so many other things. I have never known another baby that thinks it's funny when you pull their toy out of their hands. Yes, I do that, and no, I'm not mean haha. Jordan has rings that connect and when you pull just hard enough, they come apart. He thinks it's great fun & laughs every time. I love hearing his laugh :)

Jordan's Blog

After six months, I am finally setting up a blog to keep everyone updated on the happenings of our little man! To save time (mine & yours) I put together a slideshow of what Jordan has been up to since March.  So many things & so much fun! Jordan's 1st tooth has come in (don't bite Mommy!) & scooting around the house (the end of the world as I know it!)

David and I are truly blessed with our good natured & easy going boy.  He loves to laugh and 'talks' to us constantly (hmm ... remind you of anyone?) :)  There'll be many more adventures coming this way - stay tuned!
