Uncle Jeff comes to play and Hilton Head trip

This weekend has been very exciting...Uncle Jeff came down to visit Jordan!  He got in Thursday night, after Jordan was already asleep.  The next morning, he got to greet Jordan as the happy little guy woke up in his crib.  That started off a fun weekend of someone new to "show-off" for!  Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Jeff, and Jordan loaded up and headed to the beach for a few hours on Friday morning.  It was so much fun for all of us...Uncle Jeff, "the engineer", built a baby pool and baby-sized castle of mud for Jordan to play in.  Jordan ate it up (literally!) and loved when the waves would come into his pool.  It was too rough out to play in the ocean, but we did laugh at silly Jordan when he'd lift his feet when the waves would come in towards him.  We couldn't tell if he was being prissy or if he remembered "jumping the waves" with Mommy last time!

Loving my pool...the sand sure is yummy!
The next day, Daddy and Uncle Jeff went fishing and came back with a couple of dolphin (mahi mahi) for dinner.  Jordan and Mommy met them at the dock and went on a short cruise.  Jordan still wasn't too happy with the lifejacket, but it was a fun, although quick, ride.  We spent the rest of the afternoon with all the boys napping, then some playtime with Jordan, and finally a yummy dinner of fresh fish.  It was a great visit and we hope to see Uncle Jeff more, soon!

Still not sure about this lifejacket....

....but loving hanging with the guys!
After we dropped Jeff off at the airport Sunday morning, we took off for Hilton Head for a few days!  Daddy had a job interview and wanted the whole fam to come with him, so we spent the day driving up to South Carolina.  On the way, Mommy saw a tooth peeking out of Jordan's bottom gum (finally!).  We have been trying for a few days to get a picture of it, but Jordan is not cooperating.  (Who can blame him, really?)  

Once in Hilton Head, we were one busy family.  Jordan has never been dragged around the way we were dragging him around before!  In the morning, we explored Bluffton.  After Jordan's first nap, we drove over to Hilton Head and met one of Mommy's friends, Courtney, who was there vacationing with her husband, Jonathan, and her two kids, Alex and Ashley.  Alex had just turned three the day before and was so attentive and sweet to Jordan.  They were entertaining each other face to face in their strollers while the adults got to catch up.  We spent a few hours with them before heading back for Jordan's afternoon nap.

At 4pm, Daddy had his job interview, so Mommy and Jordan took a stroller ride around the area.  Then we drove out to Harbour Town as a family and had dinner there.  Jordan could hardly stand it, there was so much to see in the restaurant.  We must've gotten there at the magical "family hour", because every single table had at least one small child or baby at it....we were worried that Jordan might get whiplash looking all around!  He has been so great going out to dinner with us, he plays in the highchair with one of his rattles and just enjoys watching all the people go by.

After dinner, we walked around and looked at the boats.  There was a guy playing live music outside at a cafe, and that really got Jordan dancing.  He's so funny whenever music comes on, he starts bouncing up and down and shaking his hands in the air.  We were having so much fun watching him boogie...can't wait to see if he will be able to moonwalk someday like his Daddy!

Dancing to the music!


Funny squinty face
