And .... We're Off!

I chose this clip because not only does it show Jordan walking (!) but it also reflects his personality. My little man is too funny.

Jordan started walking (and stuck with it) at 13 1/2 months. He is now 14 months and almost running. Everyone said that he was going to be fast when he started walking, but no one mentioned that when he would first start, he would be concentrating and thus be quiet - for a time I missed the clacking of the toys on the floor as he crawled around (I always knew where he was!). Now that he's comfortable and is able to bend over to pick up objects without falling, get up on his own, etc - he is back to being vocal. I love that I can ask "Where's Jordan" and almost immediately he 'answers', usually by shrieking and he comes from wherever he was to give me a big grin before heading off again.

I wish I had a map where X marks the spot ... Jordan is continuously picking up random things around the house and finding new locations for them. These locations are unbeknownst to me until --
*"ok, how did this packet of chili seasoning wind up in his laundry basket?"
* "Ah good, the iced tea that I never finished is in his toy chest - nice to know where that went" *"Of course, the coasters should be in the drawer with the seasoning!"
-- and many many more :) There is still a shoe missing somewhere!
