We had a GREAT vacation / family reunion in Oxnard. I was too busy enjoying myself to take a lot of pictures, and there will be more once I see Lisa photos, but here are a few worth sharing…

It was another big week for Jordan… He started pointing, his second word was flower, he finally started holding his own bottle and he started taking steps while holding on to the side of a table.

Jordan loving the fireworks (he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying it in this picture, but that’s just because he didn’t like the flash of the camera) He only got upset when the fireworks ended. He wanted more.

Here are a couple of videos from this morning.

And a photo from this afternoon at another 1-year old birthday party.
He LOVES playing at the water table…

Here’s Jordan with one of Tammy’s former co-workers, Kathy. He LOVED Her

Here are a few of the many expressions he is making these days. Check out all of those teeth (two new ones this week)…

It’s official, Jordan said his first word. Not Daddy, not Mommy, not up or yes, or any other word you might think.

His first word is “picture.” He was practicing it all day yesterday. it sounds like “ik-tur”

Also, Jordan finally got rid of his ear infections, and is OVER 20 POUNDS!!

We had a great night lastnight with the Cashmans, our new great friends. They captured a great video of Jordan and their almost 1-year old Sylvie. You can see the video on youtube if you click on this link:

Here are some photos from the last few days

What a great first Father’s Day we had…

At breakfast…

He is so friendly to strangers these days..

The day before Father’s day we had Jordan’s friend Alex over…

The website was down last week, but here are a few photos of Mr. Fix-It from the week before.

And playing with his Obama action figure…

Jordan has been practicing pulling himself up , standing and crawling normally on his knees, but tonight he was tuning his voice. Turn up the volume!

Reading a book (one of his favorite things to do)…

Playing before bed…

And with his Mommie and me crew!

Jordan is almost 11 months old, but we just received a couple of great photos from his 9 month photo session today:

Here are the two we already had in case you missed them the first time…

He’s always a little weary at first…

Then he settles in…

For play time…

These days, he tries to stand …

And then his sweet smile…

Once out of the bath, he shows off his teeth…

It’s been awhile since I posted any videos of Jordan.
Here are a few good ones we took recently…

This one was taken the day of his 9 month photo session…
