I’m experimenting a little using youtube for videos.
If you can’t see them let me know.
Here are a few recent ones I thought were worth sharing

From the Long Beach Aquarium last weekend:

This is Jordan with Safta. He was trying to move her out of the way and she told him she wasn’t going to move. He thought that was funny!

Here is that fun continued with Tammy:

And this is from his birthday party a few weeks ago:

We brought Jordan to the Long Beach Aquarium over the weekend. He definitely loved every part of it, except each time we left one tank to move to the next one he got upset thinking that we were leaving altogether.

The night before he had dinner out on the town with 2 of his friends, Jaxon and Liam.

The Cashmans’ photographer captured some great shots at Sylvie’s 1st birthday party, which was the weekend after Jordan’s:

Tamar met with Lia, the awesome photographer, yesterday at Travel Town (where Lisa and I took Naiya and Ellis once). This is our last (planned) photo session with Lia. We are totally grateful for all of the great moments she has captured.

Here are a few that she shared with us on Facebook. We will see the rest after she returns from vacation.

We had a successful 1 year doctor appointment for Jordan today. He is 20 pounds 2 ounces (20th percentile) and 29 inches long. He got his chicken pox and measles and mumps shots, and the doctor was very pleased with all of his developments, physical and behavioral.

The other good news is that we ditched the formula yesterday cold turkey. Not only no problem. But he seems to be enjoying it much much more. We are also weening him off or mostly off the bottle this week, and he is drinking really well out of his sippy cup

All in all, he is doing great, and we are enjoying every minute.
I thought it would be a good time to post a photo from the days of yore, Jordan’s first week. It seems so long ago but also like yesterday. Here he is at 6 days old, and under 5 pounds. How far he has come.

Hard to believe a whole year has gone by. Jordan had such a great time on his birthday and at his birthday party.

Here he is the night of his birthday enjoying his first Chocolate

Here Jordan enjoys one of his new gifts… What a lucky kid!

And here is a selection of photos from his birthday party (in our backyard)

Here are a couple of videos. First eating his birthday cake, then hosing him off in the 90+ degree heat… He love to be sprayed with water!

For those interested in watching Jordan eat lunch today close up, here’s a series of fun 30 second videos. I think he really loves being on camera these days (P.S. Please excuse the runny nose, he has a cold today).

It’s amazing that Jordan is already old enough to have graduated from something. On Tuesday he graduated from the Mommy and Me class that he and Tamar started many months ago. Gotta love the cap and gown!

Luckily he doesn’t have to say goodbye. He will for sure still have play dates with some of his new friends like Sylvie and Jaxson!

Lisa always captures great moments!! He are just some of the amazing pictures she captured at our cousins’ retreat…

I loved looking though all of the pictures and reliving the vacation all over again!
