Is it truly possible that an entire year has gone by? My teeny tiny 6 lb bundle of love is now a very energetic stubborn inquisitive laughing little boy! David and I have truly been blessed as parents, and Jordan has made parenting easy (so far!). We'll see what happens when he turns 2 :)
At the age of ONE (!), Jordan is showing us that he is very much emerging into being a 'big boy'. Jordan is helping with getting dressed - he will hold out his feet when it is time to put shoes and socks on. He also will step out of his pants for us, one leg at a time ... even when all I need to do is change his diaper, he's determined to help me by taking off his pants. He's not so great at helping put his pants back on however.
Jordan loves his bath time and does not want to get out until the water has drained completely - even then, he is content to keep playing with his toys. Something he loves to do is stick his face in the water and even lay down while holding his head above water. Future swimmer? We'll find out this summer!
We have also entered the lovely stage I like to call "kid, you are testing my limits by refusing to eat your food!". Jordan, the boy who used to scarf everything down has now become a picky eater. Lord help me - it sure tests my patience. Yes, those of you who know me are laughing b/c I myself am a picky eater, but I was really hoping Jordan would take after his father in this area! It would not be such a concern if he were above the 5th percentile in weight but since he's not, I get nervous when he refuses to eat his veggies and only wants to eat fruit. Even putting cheerios in things does not help - he just plucks out the cheerio and eats that. I could write a blog just on the subject of new things I try to trick Jordan into eating his food!
When the frustration passes and Jordan gives me a huge toothy grin, I remember just how blessed I am and really, how easy it is to be his momma :)
