Our First Time...

Leaving the baby!

Auntie Liz came over to spend the whole day 12/6 with Sweet Baby J... So we could go to the Bulls game. It was hard to leave at first, but he loves his Auntie so it was all fine and dandy.

By the time we got home, he was sweetly sleeping and slept until 7am! Way to go Auntie Liz!

Go Bulls!

*8 Week Doctor Visit*

Friday, December 10th, Jordan has his 8 week doctor's visit. Such a big boy! Dr. B always has something good to say so it makes us feel like we are doing everything right!

Jordan is right on target for his age and technically his 2 month birthday is not until the 13th. He weighed in at 13lbs 4oz. Measured 24.5 inches long and his noggin must have a lot of brains because it is 42cm around...

He is able to look from side to side, watch his own hands and use them, babble and SMILE! It just warms our hearts when he smiles at us!
He also started something new the past few days: blowing bubbles and sticking his tongue out... not sure if that is a developmental milestone, but he's doing it!

His next appointment is February 11th. 4months!

Thanksgiving and more!

Thanksgiving this year was busy!

We started celebrating the Sunday before with Gran-Nola and Gpa Steve! Jordan sat in his baby rocking chair while the adults ate and the doggies weren't to sure about him on their level. It was so nice to have a relaxing dinner and not have to run after eating.

On Thanksgiving day, coming to town was quite a chore. We packed the Camry to the gills to stay in Rockford one, yes one night. But I am glad we stayed so Jordan could have his first sleepover with us at Grandma Olga's!

We started the day by going to Grandma and Grandpa Mershon's. (Kathy and Barry)- The house was packed but we got there early so he could spend some QT with Gma and Gpa. Then the craziness started! Around 30 people came and they all were lovin' on Jordan! His cousin William wanted to keep holding him- William is 2! It was very cute.

From the Mershon house, we went to Grandma Olga's. It was filled to the brim with family, too! Jordan was a little crabby from all the fun during the first part of the day, so he ate and napped, not many got to see him. He needed a good nap though.

From Grandma Olga's we went to Auntie Nora's. Mommy and Daddy ate yet again...and Jordy got to meet Aunt Pam and family, Uncle Ron, and Grandpa Emmett! How fun!

All in all it was a fun day and Jordan was so tuckered out, he slept from 10pm until 7am! We were so thankful.
