I wanna help

Jordon loves being outside. He now races for the door if he sees that he might be able to get even out on the screen porch. He likes wandering around in the yard or being a part of whatever we're working on. We take family walks around the neighborhood often when the weather is warm enough, and he rides in either the backpack or the stroller. He is fascinated with the rake here. Doubt that will be the case when he is actually old enough to help with yardwork...

Independence adventure

We decided one weekend we were going to visit President Truman's home in Independence. Too bad Mom and Dad didn't plan ahead and get tickets in the morning. When we got there that afternoon, there was only 1 ticket left for a tour. Oh well, will have to visit another time now that we know how it works. It was still a fun day. We got in on a local St. Patrick's Day Parade, and Jordon seemed to enjoy all the activity except for the loud sirens of the firetrucks. We visited an old fashioned soda shop and Jordon really liked sharing in our meals later that afternoon at the Longhorn. He also got to play for a bit with Dad and other kids on a playground while I was visiting one of the other shops.

Is is Jordon or a bear?

One of the last really cold mornings when he was shipped off to Granny's bundled up in his bear suit. It barely fits. Amazing how he's outgrowing his clothes and getting so big...

Trying adult food...

Aunt Sarah came up to visit a few weeks ago and we took her out to eat. Jordon had started trying more real food and really liked the blueberry muffin here. He wasn't so sure about the slice of orange but since then seems to like them too, and just about anything he can get that anybody else is eating...

Naked baby time

At night before Jordon gets a bath or ready for bed, he has naked baby time. Don is really protective of this time and gets chapped at me if I "try to put his clothes on too fast"... whatever that means, maybe you have to be male to get it. Apparently there is something sacred about being naked and free. Problem is if he's naked too long he starts peeing all over the place. J loves to run around with as few clothes as possible, and it's always a fight to get him dressed.

Strollin' at Granny's

Look what I did at daycare

Can't believe it's been like a month and a half since I added anything to the blog. Here's what J did one day at daycare after falling against a metal piece on a crib?!@ They called me at work and said he was bleeding all over the place (nice). Don was nearly there to pick him up and by the time he got there at least he wasn't bleeding anymore. It has left a scar; we'll see how much it fades over time. At least this accident wasn't on our time...
