It’s been a fun filled few weeks watching Jordan explore so many things now that he is walking more confidently. He quickly graduated from walking, to running, to dancing. And the looks of joy and self-satisfaction on his face make us smile every day

This was about a week and a half ago. One of the first times he got to explore the park near our house on two feet. At that point we were still helping him up when he fell because he was having a hard time standing without something to grab on to. But now he has learned to do it himself.

He loves to watch others run. We are encouraging him to try himself:

We took him to the Grove last week in the holiday crowds with Safta and Tali, Jonah and Hayley and he loved walking on his own there.

They have fake snow (soap suds) during the holidays falling from the sky, and a big fountain that dances to the music. Jordan loved both:

Here he is dancing to Beyonce (one of his faves)… Excuse the advertisement over the video…. That’s the price for uploading copyrighted content to youtube. Also excuse the messy room

And here he is dancing to some Israeli music, having a blast!

Opening a gift from Safta:

We were able to get away for a quick 24 hours to Palm Desert for much needed R&R. The video camera ran out of juice, but I captured a few photos.  We had such a fun time!!

We stopped at the zoo in the desert on the way home (Living Desert). Most of the animals were hiding, but we did see some giraffes:
