Today we celebrated Jordan's 1st birthday and boy, has this year gone by fast! Enjoy the video of the cake tasting (he ends up wearing more of it than he ate!).
We were lucky enough to have most of our family come in for Jordan's birthday: Uncle Jeff came down from Maryland on Thursday and he got right to work, helping around our house. Grandpa Stan and Nana flew in from south Florida on Friday...Jordan even got to open his present from them the night before his birthday--and did he love his water table!
On his actual birthday, he got to open so many great gifts and entertained us all with his cake eating (or should I say, shoveling in, while half-asleep??). It was a great birthday and we are so happy and blessed to have such a wonderful son!

Here are some things we love about Jordan, age one:
The way your face lights up when we come into your room after you wake up.
The crazy way you open your mouth and "flap" your hands when you're excited.
The way that you call everyone "daddy", including mommy.
The funny military crawl that you are doing these days.
The new way you're eating your meals: all by yourself! (with an upside-down spoon)
Your four front teeth.
The way you "pet" Queenie so sweetly.
How excited you get when you see Murray or Elmo.
The way you give kisses: with an open mouth!
The way you "touch noses" with Daddy.
We are so lucky to have you in our lives, Jordan. You are the sweetest, funniest, and happiest little boy we know. Happy 1st Birthday Jordan Matthew...Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
