Silly Jordan!

Here's a funny video of Jordan blowing raspberries...he is such a character!

Spring Break

This past week was really great as John was on Spring Break from school.  He really wanted to be at home and spend some time together as a family since, in the past, we have always been "on-the-go" during his spring breaks.  Jill worked Monday, Tuesday, and a few hours on Wednesday, so Daddy got to spend a ton of quality time with his Jordan.  I think that they both enjoyed it, although John did mention that being the stay-at-home parent was tough!

Jordan has now been to the pool three times, each time getting more into it.  During his last visit, tonight, he even kicked his legs some!  He definitely smiled and talked while "swimming" so that made both Mommy and Daddy very happy!

Ready for some sun!

We also took Jordan to the beach for the first "official" time this past Saturday morning.  He was totally checking out the ocean, the waves, and the seagulls.  Daddy put his feet in the water and he just stared and stared.  We sat him on the beach, near the ocean, to watch the waves come in.  After all that excitement, we went to relax in the shade under Jordan's beach cabana.  Daddy and Jordan both took it easy in the shade, while Mommy tried to get some sun.  We plan on visiting the beach often--might as well take advantage of the beautiful beaches while we are still in Florida!

Checking out those waves!

Chillin' in the shade

Grandpa Stan and Nana babysat for Jordan this past Thursday night so that Jill and John could head out to a country concert.  Jordan was excited to have fresh faces to entertain and he was a perfect angel for the grandparents.  He also helped Grandpa Stan cheer for Kentucky basketball...we figure since Clemson is out of the tournament, he can at least root for the boys in blue!

Go Big Blue!

So happy in my SC tshirt!

Waving bye-bye

Here's a cute video of Jordan waving bye-bye.  He's been studying us and practicing for about a week now and just finally started waving.  He does more of a wrist-pop right now, but we are so proud of him!  Enjoy!

Happy 6 Month Birthday to Jordan!

Jordan technically turned 6 months old on March 10, 2011 but we have been on the road since then so this post is a little late!  We visited Dr. Luchtan, Jordan's pediatrician, tonight for his 6 month checkup and once again, all is going well.  Jordan weighs 16 lbs. 8 1/2 oz and measures 27 1/2 inches long.  The doctor was happy with everything regarding the little guy so that makes Mommy and Daddy happy too!  Unfortunately, Jordan had a rough time at the doctor's office...he got out of sync with his naps today so by the time we got in to see the doctor, Jordan was wiped out.  He cried most of the visit and then just before his shots, fell asleep on Mommy's shoulder.  This was unusual for the Jord, as he has been very pleasant and happy during our previous doctor office visits.  It was rough and we were so glad to get him home, although I anticipate a tough night ahead!

One cool dude

This past weekend was a busy one, as the whole family traveled to Charleston, SC for Jill's cousin Sarah's wedding.  Jordan did great on the car ride up, except for the fact that he had been given a teeny tiny itsy bitsy amount of prune juice the night before because of 4 days worth of constipation.  He had been uncomfortable and we didn't want him to be in pain during the trip. But because of that small amount of prune juice, Mommy and Daddy's 8 hour drive became 9 hours, with lots of stops at not-so-ideal locations!  While Mommy and Daddy were sweating it, changing poopy diapers in the car and trying not to make a mess, Jordan just smiled and laughed.  At least we know his tummy was feeling better after all that!

Once we arrived in Charleston, or actually on the Isle of Palms, we were bombarded by family all waiting to see Jordan.  And don't think he didn't get loads of Peebles family time this weekend, because we were literally surrounded by them all....we stayed in a huge house with the entire family for 3 nights!  Jordan was basically, a pretty big deal, other then of course the bride.  He was passed from aunt to aunt to cousin all weekend, but he had a blast showing off.  There was lots of squealing, shrieking, sitting up, and playing (check out the video below for some silliness!).  He got some new (hand-me-down) toys from his cousins Jackson and Riley.  He hung with his Uncle Jeff.  He got to go for a stroller ride on the beach with Mommy and Daddy.  He even got to play with a new babysitter named Ashton while the entire family was at the wedding, which was beautiful, by the way. 

We returned home from SC on Sunday afternoon.  The drive home was a lot easier (boo to prune juice!).  Mommy worked today and Daddy had his first full day as the "manny."  Everyone survived and Jordan loved having his Daddy all to himself.  Spring break has started and we are looking forward to lots of family time this week.

On another note, Jordan is still enjoying his solid foods and has so far tried rice cereal (like), avocado (like), sweet potato (really, really like!), peaches (like), and oatmeal (like).  We are having so much fun feeding him and he is much more aggressive with the food now.  He will grab for the spoon and try to put his hands in the food bowl.  He will also sit there with his mouth open, waiting for the next bite....so funny!

I looooove sweet potatoes!
