Jordan's birthday...

She is officially one. As of a little more than a week ago, so this post is a little late. We had a birthday party for her at Grandma Stanley's house, and it seems to have turned out rather well. She doesn't really understand it, but she did make out like a bandit on her presents. Thanks everyone who came, and even those of you would couldn't come, thanks for the birthday wishes for her. (Speaking of which, I need to get working on those Thank you cards) Anyway, she still isn't walking, I am glad that she waited for me, rather than doing it while I was in Hawaii. She can do it, I have seen her take 6 or 7 steps without a wobble, she just won't. Apparently she likes that she is speedy when she crawls. She was lucky enough to spend the week we were in Hawaii with her Grandma Diana, Aunt Amber and cousin Bailey, who were in town while we were gone. They taught her a new word, which officially happens to be her first, other than mama, dada and baba. That word is $h!t! Nice, right? She can also now say dog and Mousse, which I think is her favorite of our dogs. She gives kisses, loves and waves bye bye. Blankets, she loves them. First thing she does in the morning, hands me her empty bottle, then her blanket, and then puts her hands up for me to pick her up. We got a new neice on Monday the 22, her name is Irelyn, and from the pictures, she is cute as a button. I will be going to visit her this week, since I was in Hawaii when she was born, and haven't had the chance since I have been back. I love my little girl, who I think I will have to cease calling a baby soon. I haven't downloaded the pictures from her party, but when I do, I will get some on here.

Pictures from our Kauai trip

So close to walking...

she can stand up on her own, but sometimes she is too scared to do it. I am afraid that she is going to start walking while I am in Hawaii, and I will miss her first steps. That would teach me. So, this is just going to be a quick little post, with a picture, and a video. I love the video, because it shows that I really do have awesome dogs. They put up with Jordan beating on them, because in the end, she still loves them, you will see her give Mousse a love in the video.

My new adventure.......

So, my new adventure as of yesterday, is Scentsy. I am going for it. I know that quite a few people are selling it nowadays, but I thought I would try. All the girls at my work we performing their Peer pressure on me, and talked me into it telling me they would buy from me. So, if anyone feels the need to take pity on me, and buy some from me, I would be glad to help you fulfill that need. I haven't gotten my consultant starter kit yet, but it is on it's way, hopefully by Wednesday or so this week. My new website is not all that exciting just yet, but give me time, I am still working on it.

Baby Mowgli

Here are a few cute pictures of Jordan (with her Elvis curl, it's always better before she goes to bed, right after her bath, and a little messed up by the time she wakes in the morning.) and a video of little Mowgli cub walking around on her hands and feet with her Jungle mates, Kasha, Mousse and Diva.

The latest and greatest

Ok, so I am extremely sorry, I have not been doing the best job of keeping everyone up to date. Jordan is now almost 10 months old, so hard to believe. She says Dada, all the time. When I try to get her to say Mama, she just comes back at me with Dada. But, the winner is when she wants something, she always says Mama. My heart be still. :) She plays patty cake, patting her hands together, and when you get to Rolling it, she tries so hard to roll it. She waves hello and bye bye, and we are currently working on some signs with signing time. My favorite thing she has learned though, is "Dancing Baby". Anytime music is playing, she will kick her little leg, and if she is standing up, she will bounce her little butt. And, I say "Dancing baby, dancing baby" I think she even says num num when she wants food or more food. It really amazes me how smart she is. She has a total of 6 teeth that are broken through the gums, and seems like they just keep on coming. Her new nickname is Mowgli, due to how she will crawl around on the balls of her feet and hands. Name really fits, considering our house is a bit of a jungle in itself. Diva is getting bigger, and Bryce and Justin gave her a little cut to tie us off until we can get her groomed after her 2nd set of shots. She looks like a little lion. Misty and I bought a membership to the Zoo. We have already been a couple times, and are planning to go again as soon as the weather warms up. I can't wait. It is so nice to be outside, especially since Jordan loves being outdoors. I promise to post more pictures as soon as I get more time.
