Eli got his first tooth a couple of days ago after struggling for what seemed like weeks to get it out. The next one is only days behind! He also finally rolled over from his back to his front. He’s doing push-ups all day and scooting himself in circles and backwards. Seems like crawling won’t be too far behind.
Jordan has left his car obsession behind (amazing!) and has moved into some new things (obsessions), including dinosaurs, animals and anything Toy Story. He requests the theme song from Toy Story (“You’re Got a Friend in Me”) all day and asks for it on repeat. And then he gallops around in circles singing it it. He begs us to see the movies again everyday, but we tell him they are reserved for special occasions. In place of seeing the movies over and over again, he carries around the DVD cases (or as he calls them, movie “cages”). Instead of reading him books to go to sleep, he now requests that I read the back of the DVD cases and he has memorized most of the words (“a perfect addition to your Disney/Pixar collection and hours of fun for the entire family!”). When he’s not terrorizing other kids at school and his cousins, he’s a really sweet, fun boy.
Here’s Jordan playing with his dinosaurs:
He can tell you which ones are carnivores and which ones are herbivores and knows more about the specific names than I do.
We went to a great place called Eco-Station where they rescue animals as a potential venue for Jordan’s upcoming birthday party. He loved it. But it will probably be better for next year. Here I am with Eli while Tammy and Jordan are on the tour:
The kids love each other. And Eli doesn’t even seem to care that Jordan plays keep away with everything that we put in front of him.

Fun with family:
Looks like something shady is going on here. But actually it is just Jordan trying to keep a toy away from Ari and Michael
Fun jumping around with Michael at Liam’s birthday party
