Less than 2 weeks and our little guy turns ONE!

     I still can't believe how fast time is going. It doesn't seem that it is possible for Jordan to be turning one in eleven days. I have everything ready for his party and can't wait to see how cute the whole Monster Theme is going to be. Sometimes I feel like I get a little to excited planning my kids parties,but I just can't help myself. I want them to have a great party and have lots of fun. I still can't believe how blessed I am to have 2 children now. Jordan is still a wonderful baby. I get so many people that say to me "He is such a good baby." He is usually smiling and laughing. He does have his moments where he cries because he is tired, but somehow this usually only happens at home. I pray that Jordan will keep his laid back happy personality through the years as he grows up.
     Two years ago when I was announcing that I was leaving my job, someone looked at me and said "By this time next year you will have another kid."(By the way this women ended up pregnant the next year also and had a boy just three days after I had Jordan.) I said "yeah right, it took me six years to get pregnant with Jaelyn and I just really don't think I will be able to have anymore kids." Well, I am glad that God surprised me and showed me how things you think are impossible are indeed always possible. 
    I  have been trying to have a different look on life lately and I have realized just how blessed I am in this life. I have a loving husband (don't get me wrong we have our little moments too) who believes in communication between a husband and wife. I have a very inquisitive and entertaining little girl. ( who at times can be a major drama Queen, but only at times.) I have an adventurous and entertaining little boy (who again, when tired can be a handful.) I have a home that the whole family loves and I am able to live my dream as a stay at home mom and wife.
      Jordan is now more mobile than ever. He can stand all by himself, and at times will attempt to take one foot and try to step. Usually after that he slowly bends his knees and plops down on his bottom. He can pretty much run on his knees. He is walking while holding onto the furniture or his Push/riding toys. Jordan still only has one tooth, but tries to eat table food when he can. He loves to swing outside. We got him a new swing to go on the big swing set for his birthday. He is finally able to go for a ride in the wagon, because he can now seat in the wagon seat and be buckled up like a big boy. He also attempts to put everything in his mouth. I still can't believe this little guy will be turning ONE in less than two weeks.
