Last weekend Maya turned 10 and she had her party at a bowling alley (one of my favorite places to have birthdays when I was a kid). What a great way to celebrate. Jordan wasn’t quite old enough to get into a game, but he loved exploring there.

Jonah was so sweet to Jordan, holding his hand and showing him so much love and affection:

Jordan had a fun visit from Tamar’s friend Ilana, who brought her two girls along for a visit. Jordan was particularly taken with Isabella, the older daughter.

The older woman thing seems to be a trend. We have a really nice family across the street from us, and Jordan has a little crush on the older daughter Sophia. Every night when she comes outside to ride her bike, he runs over to the window to say hello. Actually he yells out her name. It is so sweet, and she seems to love him too.

All of Los Angeles opened up its fire stations for open houses. What a perfect place to bring Jordan, who remains obsessed with firetrucks. We met one of his school friends, Jorge, at the fire station around the corner from our house, along with his parents.

Jordan had such a great time with Grandma and Grandpa during their recent visit. Smiles and dancing the whole time.

And a nice surprise visit from Uncle Raphe, Aunt Eden and cousin Tillie. Tillie played so nicely with Jordan!

We had such a fun time with Poppy when he came to visit. Jordan is so lucky to be surrounded by so much love all the time.

We had a fun breakfast together at Jerry’s

Then we went to get Jordan new shoes (only his third pair!), and sandals:

He was a little scared at first, because he thought he was getting a haircut.

Poppy also joined us for Liam’s 4th birthday party at My Gym:

And then we played at home. Jordan had a blast!

And played with his new basketball hoop, yelling “Get the Rebound!”

For some reason, he likes to speak gibberish when he plays hoops

We also fit in a trip to Yamato, our local Teppen-Yaki place in honor of Greg’s birthday. He always loves it there

And he even snuggled up with Poppy to watch videos on Poppy’s phone before bed:

Come back soon!

Jordan finally enjoyed a day playing at My Gym. Before yesterday, he hadn’t been having so much fun there. But as you can see, he had a great time playing on the trampoline.

We’re still trying to make Jordan more comfortable self-feeding:

Not always with a ton of success:

We had Tali and everyone over for brunch on Sunday to celebrate her 40th! Happy birthday Tali!

Other than that, just having fun, hanging out and playing before we host Poppy this weekend and Grandma and Grandpa next week!

Still OBSESSED with cars:

We went with Tali, Jonah and Hayley to get Jordan’s haircut for the second time. Since the 1st time didn’t go well, we were a little worried… But Jordan got to watch Jonah go first, and although he definitely didn’t like it, he didn’t shed one tear!

Watch him clutch those fire engines!!!!

After his cut, he was all smiles

and looking handsome:

The night before his hair cut, we told Jordan that he would be getting his haircut the next day with Hayley and Jonah, and it turned into a 30 minute tantrum because he didn’t want to wait to see them until morning…

Of course he cant always be happy:

But that’s pretty rare. Usually he loves showing off his teeth or mugging for the camera in some way:

We had perfect weather last weekend at Uncle Terry’s beach house. Jordan has been talking about Uncle Terry and Oxnard ever since…

Very relaxing weekend. much needed…

Here’s some video of Jordan on the beach, excuse the windy mic… you can still hear him singing through it:

And we hit In and Out Burger on the way home. Jordan’s first 🙂

There was a kiss too, it just wasn’t captured on camera! But these pictures of Mr. Casanova are still pretty sweet.

Jordan, like most toddler boys, has a love for pressing buttons. He’s been pressing buttons for months, that’s nothing new… But now he actually knows which buttons have which functions. He knows how to turn on the stereo and select a song on the CD player, he can work the ipad better than I can, and here is whay happened when he got ahold of the video camera… (we didn’t even know he recorded himself until we were looking at videos later…)

Here’s some new video of Jordan showcasing all of his dance moves:

Also here are a few photos I forgot to post last night. How could I forget these?
