End of Summer

This has been a busy summer for the Thompsons. We spent the month of July in Oregon with David's family & in August, we spent a week at Coronado with my family. Jordan has been blessed with being able to visit with both families in one summer! As I did on the last post, I have attached a slideshow at the end of this entry from our Coronado trip.

Only one week until Jordan is 18 months, and hits the 1 1/2 year mark. Time sure does go quickly! During the 17th month, Jordan:

* learned how to climb onto one of the chairs outside and turn himself around so he was sitting the right way - so fun to see because he is so proud when he does it!

*is picking up Mommy's phone when it beeps, holds it to his ear and says "hi"

*helps Mommy unload the dishwasher (we're working on putting things where they actually belong!)

*is saying his version of "ready, set, go!" - it usually goes like "sahhhhhh ::pause:: go!"

*wants to sit at the table and be a big boy, but he's far too squirmy to do so!

*when asked "Jordan, who am I?" he points to his eye and says "eye"

*last but not least - Jordan is finally saying "mama" !!! It's not in context with who mama is, and he generally says it in a high and shrill voice, but he says it!

One of Jordan's most recent activities is trying to walk in Mommy or Daddy's flip flop - my silly boy :)

As promised, here is the slideshow of our Coronado trip!
