Museums, Baptism, and Winter Fun

Jordan has been one busy boy these past couple of weeks! A couple weekends ago we went to the Grand Rapids Public Museum with my parents. Despite the huge crowds we managed to have a fun time with Jordan. He especially enjoyed the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit as there were many wheels and gears to turn. Here is my dad helping Jordan turn one of the gears at the da Vinci exhibit.

Once Jordan caught sight of this truck he didn't want to be anywhere else! He loves to sit in little trucks and turn the steering wheels!

Last Saturday my mother-in-law and I took Jordan to the Children's Museum. It was crowded there as well, but Jordan is fearless and immediately took off to check out everything there was to see and touch!

Jordan loves music- he's a boy after my own heart! Here he is playing with a little tamborine.

Jordan spotted another little truck at the Children's Museum and went running right for it.

This past Sunday was Jordan's baptism. I was a little nervous about how he would do on stage in front of the whole congregation. It turned out that he did fine during the actual baptism and even gave a little wave to the crowd (what a little show-off!), but waiting to go up on stage proved to be challenging. Jordan hasn't quite learned how to be patient yet!

My mom was sitting right behind us in church and tried to keep Jordan entertained and distracted until we brought him up on stage.

We tried to get a family picture in the church's gathering room after the service. Unfortunately we couldn't get Jordan to look at the camera.


Although we've had a busy couple of weeks we have enjoyed a few quiet days at home as well. The weather has been frigid so we have been staying cozy inside or bundling up really well when we do go outside.

Here is a sight that is becoming common- Jordan reading his books in his new little chair!

It takes a lot of work to get Jordan bundled up to go sledding! I tried and tried but could not get this picture to post correctly. But even though it is sideways I thought it was way too cute to pass up!
