Happy Fourth of July!

Mommy and Jordan spent a few nights alone last week, as Daddy drove up for a job fair in South Carolina.  Jordan was on his best behavior and slept so well for his naps and during the night.  Since early last week, he has been trying to "drop" his morning nap and tends to pass out right after swim lesson....and when he does, he take a 2 1/2 hour nap, so we're not complaining!

Silly time, just Mommy and Jordan!

I love to read with Daddy!





On Sunday, Jordan went to his first birthday party.  It was for our friend Sara's son Michael.  He turned 2 and had his party at the Little Gym, which is such a fun place for kids.  Jordan was definitely the youngest party guest, but he had so much fun playing with the balls, watching the bubble machine (which prompted a dance session in Mommy's arms!), and bouncing on the air trampoline.  There were kids everywhere and he was in heaven watching all of them!  It was a fun morning and we look forward to going back there with him again.

On Monday, we celebrated the Fourth at home in Florida as a family, with the addition of Uncle Josh.  It had been a rainy weekend but the rain held out for the afternoon so we headed to the beach.  The lifeguards were driving up and down the beach on their ATVs and blowing their whistles a ton (it was rough in the ocean) and Jordan liked watching them.  On the way home, we stopped by the pool and spent time there, too.  We are so lucky to have a little guy who loves the outdoors, beach, and pool as much as we do!

So patriotic!



My own private firework show!

Sadly, the fireworks shows are too late for our little guy, but we did light a few sparklers and firework fountains in the backyard for him.  He wasn't scared at all and did his happy dance for us!  And to top things off, he didn't even budge that night during the real fireworks show at FAU, which we watched from our street.  Happy 4th of July!
