To Walk Or Not To Walk ... That Is The Question!

Two days after Jordan turned 1, he walked! Our little boy who wouldn't even walk holding on to one hand walked on his own (while holding a spoon in each hand).  Thank goodness I got it on video because well ... that was it! No more walking.  We've tried so many times to get Jordan to walk again but after a couple falls our timid little boy decided he was much happier walking with us holding on to one hand.  While I'm not the biggest fan of being dragged around everywhere (really, that's what it feels like), I am still thankful that I have not had to resort to chasing after Jordan as he stubbornly turns and walks in the opposite direction as I've seen so many kids do.  :)

Jordan likes to go up to someone (usually that someone is sitting on a couch), grab their hand, find just the right finger to hold, and takes off.  It has provided many laughs as Jordan realizes that he cannot go any further since the person whose hand he grabbed has yet to actually get up and move with him.  Determined little boy he is, Jordan turns, glares and huffs (yes, huffs) at the person, then tries to walk again. He never ceases to make people laugh when that happens!

* Jordan has learned to say hi, uh-oh, bye and up - he is not consistent in saying these words, but he sure babbles a lot (usually dada is his main thing to say) and no, he still has not said mama.
* It seems like Jordan has overcome being a picky eater, thanks to his daddy who has been feeding him whatever he's eating.  Jordan now eats a lot and it is sure amusing to see that little belly get bigger and bigger until Jordan decides he is finally full (yesterday for breakfast, he ate what a grown man would eat! Everyone at the table was staring at him in shock)

This might be the last post I get to write for a while - if Jordan starts walking soon, who knows when I'll be able to blog again! :)
