Happy Birthday Daddy - We Love You!

You are truly one of a kind and I adore you for it. You are a wonderful husband and an even more wonderful father. I love you with all of my heart. All of the time. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Leah is getting so big. She is sitting up but she would prefer to stand. She is not crawling but she can get anywhere she wants to go now by rolling and wiggling her way around the room. She has a new friend these days too... she adores Elmo. Every time she sees him her eyes light up and she smiles that big toothless grin. I am sure she is teething and we will see some pearly whites very soon.

BIG Boy

Jordan went a whole week without ANY accidents. We are so proud of him that we had to share the great news. I was at my wits end with potty training but he finally has the idea. I am afraid to even share the news because I don't want to jinx it but we are SO PROUD!!

My Fly Boys

We had a great weekend. We went with Aunt Carrie and Jacob to see real airplanes up close and personal. Jordan has not stopped talking about it. He has been a little under the weather so we were hestitant to bring him but we figured the fresh air would do him some good. He really enjoyed seeing all of the airplanes and he even got to sit in one. He has never talked about something so much. We are definetly going to have to do that again next year.

You see the tiny two seater my guys are standing in front of...Drew went up with Kevin's Dad in that plane!! Cool huh?! I can hardly believe my Drew, the same guy who needs to take sleeping pills whenever we fly, went up in that tiny plane. Very cool!

Jordan sat in the airplane and got to look at all the buttons. He was very good and sat without touching anything.

Jordan's Birthday

So here I am, two years of motherhood behind me. At times I can hardly believe it and at other times, I feel as if it has always been this way. My dear first born Jordan, this boy is seriously sweet to the core.

Some things about Jordan at 2:

He is loving and kind, always puckering up to give smooches and “huggies”
He adores his sister and he asks, “Where is she?” first thing when he wakes up in the morning
He smothers Leah with hugs and kisses on a daily (if not hourly) basis
He loves to “read” books, especially if they are about trucks, trains or dinosaurs
He is silly and likes to make us laugh. Lately he has been telling me, “that’s funny Mommy.” like just yesterday when two birdies were running around the front yard looking for worms
He likes to wear anything with a basketball on it…or pockets…or buttons (just like his Daddy’s button down dress shirts and polo’s)
He is a helper. He wants to help with everything… dishes, laundry, cooking
He likes most to play with his garbage trucks, tools and in his “house” (tent)
He is obsessed with our vacuum (although it still scares him to death when it is on)
Orange is his favorite color (I think), he knows many other colors but if you ask him what color he wants 9 times out of 10 it is orange
He likes to play outside, rain or shine
He doesn’t like to get dirty and is always asking me to wipe his “handsies”
He loves to ride his bike and to be pushed around in his car or swing (he likes how Daddy pushes him best)
He is tall and skinny…very skinny
He sleeps with his best pals Cookie Monster, Puppy and his two special blankets
Pizza is his favorite food. He even does a pizza dance
He also does a potty dance, a happy dance and a going outside dance…which are all the same

Hope you had a wonderfully Happy Birthday Jordan! I am so lucky to be your mom. Love you so much!

Thank you everyone for celebrating Jordan's special day with us!
