One Year!

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since we welcomed Jordan into this world - and yet we couldn't imagine our lives without him! God has given us an amazing little boy - curious, fiesty, adorable, and with a fun sense of humor. We will be celebrating this weekend with family and friends, and will update you when it is all over. In the meantime, we have failed to also let everyone know that he is walking (we've kinda neglected the blog for the past few weeks) - he's been doing so for several weeks now, and in the video you can see him walking with his birthday balloons, which he loves!

My First Post

Hey everybody! As you can see from the picture above, for the first time I am making a posting on MY blog. The other night, Mommy and Daddy had to be at different places where apparently kids were not allowed. So instead, I got to spend a few hours partying with the Oklobzijas (some of Mommy and Daddy's best friends). They let me do things that I don't always get to do at home, like post on my own blog, play Xbox, and drink Mountain Dew. I had a great time, and can't wait to do it again sometime soon!

My Daddy and Me

Jordan adores his dad! His face lights up with a huge smile when dad comes home in the evening from work. Jordan then knows that it is playing time! (Not that we don't play all day, but it is always more fun with dad!) Dad can always make Jordan laugh and smile! Jordan thinks the world of his daddy!

Jordan's First Christmas

Jordan had a lot fun for his first Christmas - we got to spend a lot of time with family and friends. He really enjoyed opening all of his presents - though he definitely found more enjoyment in the wrapping paper and bows than in the actual presents. He had a blast playing with his dozen cousins (and even learned how to turn off a TV from his cousin Makeo!). We all found joy in a relaxing Christmas Eve at home, where the three of us spent some quality time after attending church earlier in the afternoon. We wrapped up our "Christmas week" by visiting Matt's family for a couple of days, where Jordan enjoyed the attention and being pushed around in a toy shopping cart. The pictures here give just a glimpse of the fun Jordan had with his very first Christmas.

Our busy boy!

Jordan is quite the busy boy lately learning to walk. We have quite a few bruises by the end of the day - few tears however. We've decided he's going to be our little football player. We are amazed at how fast he is growing up. He's not our little baby anymore:(

Winter Wonderland

Jordan is already beginning to experience the joys of the Christmas season. On Thursday, Dad and Mom caved in and let him have one of his Christmas presents a few weeks early - the green car in the picture with him. Just today he started using it to take steps! He really enjoys being pulled around on it as well.

Yesterday, Mom and Dad decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree (with a Jordan-proof fence!), and Jordan loves looking at the lights and pulling on the branches. Finally, today Jordan enjoyed playing in the snow for the first time today. He enjoyed being bundled up, but wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow when Dad tried feeding it to him. All in all, Jordan is really enjoying the Christmas season so far!
