Happy Thanksgiving!

Celebrating Thanksgiving with Jordan sure made this year's holiday extra special. We have a lot to be thankful for this year! For the past few weeks I have been telling Jordan how much he would love Thanksgiving because he LOVES to eat! But to my surprise, when the day arrived Jordan didn't each much at all. He was too excited about playing with the new toys at my uncle and aunt's house and chasing around their little dog. I guess there are things that are more exciting to Jordan than eating! Jordan loves to sit in little chairs and was excited to see a new chair he could try out.

Jordan loved my uncle and aunt's dog, Sammy. I think he was shocked that Sammy actually let Jordan pet him. Whenever Jordan comes anywhere near the cats they always run for cover!

Here is Jordan playing with my cousin's son. Actually, they didn't really play together; they just played side by side. Jordan hasn't learned how to play with others or how to share yet!

What else has Jordan been up to? Well, he's been one busy boy! He has now begun running and loves to run up and down our front hallway. He also loves to try climbing and standing on everything he can! Strangely enough, Jordan's first English word was "hot." He says it when he points to the oven or to our coffee cups, but he also says it at random times throughout the day.

Sadly, I had to go back to work this week. It was hard on me, but Jordan seemed to adjust fine. He loves being home with Grandma!

Jordan loves to stand on this register whenever the heat is on. I often find him standing here letting the heat warm his feet! We do try to put socks on him, but he always pulls them off!

Jordan recently learned how to get into this little chair and sit down all by himself without any assistance from me. He loves to sit in it, but more often can be found standing on it and looking out the window.

Jordan was so proud when he learned how to stand on this truck. Mommy and Daddy weren't as excited as we can envision a big fall backwards in the future!
