Less than TWO months until Jordan is 2!

It has been quite the year. Jordan is such a toddler, it is amazing. He speaks in sentences, understands nearly everything that is said to him and has the best personality (like his mommy ;)) ha ha. It is actually VERY scary to know that he has my memory, too. On that note, we took one of the gates off the stairs... he started climbing over it. Josh has been teaching Jordan Spanish. Jordan repeats very well and sometimes we catch him counting in Spanish and English. It really is a good age to learn language. Now if potty-training can be that easy. I cannot believe we are planning his SECOND BIRTHDAY. He found the birthday catalog and has picked out a few themes, we shall see what really will be the theme. I sure hope we dont end up with giant tractors, a petting zoo, clowns and Mickey... I would never be able to top that for the next years. As he grows so fast, I cannot help but reread these posts and get a little sad. He is such a daddy's boy, but nothing beats the feeling of coming home to Jordy running up to me, hollering "MOMMY, Hug, Kiss!" The past few nights he's even cuddled with me, boy I miss that! We have been so lucky in finding a new sitter! She was recommended by our past sitter who is now a teacher (we cant wait for Jordy to be her student!). Searching was so daunting- it actually made me ill for several reasons... but the new one lives literally 10 houses away and Jordan requests to go there to play just like at Whitney's. Such a good sign! He must love the dark hair! Well, enough ramblings for now since these are not even cohesive thoughts, it has been almost a year since the last entry, I am a bit rusty.
