I was sick (with a little stomach virus) for Halloween but I did hang out at home with mommy and of course she took pictures of me…and I got to see what candy bars looked like…I am sure they are something I would like when I get older! By the way, I turned 6 months today (November 2nd!). I feel much better and love the weekends when I get to spend time with my mommy AND daddy! Enjoy the pictures! : )
This week I turned 5 months! I don’t feel any different but I am told each day that I am “so cute”! Maybe I get cuter the older I get…who knows!? I have been trying to eat cereal and food (Gerber Organic Bananas) but I haven’t completely got the hang of it yet. I did go swimming last weekend and had lots of fun in the pool. I held tight onto mommy and we played in the water. I think mommy is going to start sending rice cereal to school (daycare) with me. One more exciting thing for me (and mommy)…I now take the bottle really well, even from mommy! I think I like the Avent bottles better than the Playtex Drop-ins. Check out some pictures from this past week… 
Well mommy has gone back to work but I have a new place to hang out during the day. I had my first day at The Goddard School September 2nd and I go 4 days a week. Of course the ‘rents were sad when they first dropped me off but they know that I have fun and am in good hands.
I have my own crib and get to roll on the mats, have story time and swing. Sure I miss mommy and daddy but I know that this will help me become a big girl. Ms. Terri and Ms. Mary take good care of me but it’s great to see daddy at the end of the day.
As you can imagine, my arrival was a big adjustment for Jackpot (since he was the baby of the house…before May 2nd) but now we are the best of friends! He hears me cough, cry or make any type of noise for that matter and he comes to check on me. He is sometimes sound asleep! He really cares- either that or he is super nosey…I like to believe he cares! The other night I was sitting on daddy’s lap watching football and Jackpot (who’s not allowed on the living room furniture) jumped up to join us (he must have felt left out). I got to pet him, hug him and at one point- tug on his ear. After all that…he jumped off the couch and went about his business BUT when he heard me fuss from another room- he came back to check on me- I love my doggie! 
On August 2nd I turned three months old…I can’t believe it’s been that long. My mommy says she can’t imagine life without me, so I guess that means she is happy I am here! I started to fuss a lot less- I think three months was my turning point as well as when I met Grand-daddy. He hadn’t seen me in person yet and boy was he in for a surprise!
He had so much fun while hanging out in Denver keeping mommy and I company while my daddy was away- he went to a survival course (in Boulder, Utah) called Boss. I talked to grand-daddy everyday and when he looked at me I laughed…unless he was trying to give me the bottle (that’s a whole different story). Mommy and I missed daddy a whole lot but we kept each other company and hung out all day long!
Another exciting thing happened when I turned three months- mommy gave me some rice cereal to try and boy was it yummy…I can’t wait to eat more food…as you could tell by the picture! When daddy came home you’d think he was gone longer than a week- he saw a picture of me and said- “she’s eating cereal now?”…yes, daddy- I’m growing each day and as mommy says, sometimes too fast!
Guess what? Next week I leave with mommy and daddy to go to CT…my first time on an airplane- I am SO excited! Until next time, xoxo
… well almost. I can follow my toys side to side now even though my reaction time is still a bit slow. Mom even caught me watching TV the other day. She said something about how I was just like my dad (it was some show called SportsCenter).
The Jordan clan came to visit us for the 4th of July. I met my Titi Jeanette, my grandma, grandpa and my cousin Adrianna Skye all for the first time. We had a blast. We went to the zoo, Boulder and took some time to cookout at the house (don’t worry, mommy and daddy handled the fire - I just watched).
Daddy is going to Moab in Utah next week for his Adventure hike/Survival School. I’ll have to keep mommy company because I think she is a little worried. We’ll probably spend more time at Washington Park with my friend Olivia and her mommy while daddy is gone. We’ll also visit Makio, her dog Surfer and her mommy too. Don’t worry, I’ll keep mommy busy and before you know it, daddy will be back.
I have started to talk (in my own language of course) and enjoy talking to the ceiling fan in mommy and daddy’s room the most. Today I was laying in my Boppy gazing up talking for close to 10 minutes straight! Then, I got a little bored and started to yell for mommy to come get me. I guess if the fan was talking back to me I would have stayed longer. I also enjoy giggling and looking at faces- especially mommy and daddy’s. Sometimes when new people look at me and they are really close I look at them crazy and think to myself…”who are you??” Nonetheless, I still enjoy looking at faces. On Wednesdays mommy and I go to Wash Park and walk (well mommy does the walking- I ride in my stroller or hang out in my baby carrier) a few miles with Olivia (she’s 2 weeks older than me) and her mom (Kirstie) of course! When we are at the park- as long as I’m not fussing, I like to talk to the trees…it’s lots of fun and I am just getting started! : )
It turns out that I am not the only May Baby in the family. My cousin Wesley Keithe Williams is even younger than me and my friend Madison Rose Tucker was born just a few weeks ago.
Mommy and Daddy entered some of my photos into the Canon New Baby Photo Contest. I hope you can all VOTE FOR ME starting July 1st.
In the meantime, feel free to check out MY PHOTO ENTRIES by entering Dad’s email michael_t_jordan@yahoo.com when you click the link.
My dad decided to stay home from work for another week. Besides my chubby cheeks, we seem to have a lot in common already. We got to try out my Boppy activity gym and took a few walks with mommy. Of course he couldn’t stop laughing at me when I got the hiccups yesterday but I guess it’s one way to keep his attention.
Mommy keeps saying that I’m full of hot air just like my dad, whatever that means. I’m glad he was around to be with me and mommy when we got home from the hospital. We’ve all had so much fun together.
