Un Paso a caminar

Jordan dio sus primeros paso el dia de hoy; tiene un juguete que tiene ruedas adelante como lo ven en la foto y Jordan se arrago y empezo a caminar a un principio lo agarre pero despues el solito se lanzo al exito; no faltara mucho que ya este dando sus primeros pasos y un paso mas a su independencia.

Is this cheating?

Michael and Tony are in a contest to see who can generate the most votes for their blogsites. I am casting a vote for each of them. The winner will get a bit of recognition in the blogging community. If you would like to vote for either of them, just add their URLs as they are listed in this post and that should do it.

Abriendo los cajones

Jordan esta abriendo todos los cajones y puertas que se le atraviesa. Cuando estoy en la cocina se la pasa jugando con las gabetas, esta pendiente a que abra el refrigerador para que el lo cierre; claro que estoy ahi para supervisar que no se lastime. Si me descuido se sube a la lavadora de platos y puede tomarse una ducha si sigue con sus intentos de curiosidad.

11 Months old

Today Jordan is 11 months old. It's hard to believe that nearly a year has past since he came into our lives. At this stage of his life he is learning something new every day. You have to see some of the stuff he does. In the picture I added, Jordan is playing with my remote controls. Basically, he is banging them against the coffee table and throwing them on the ground. (Note the RC on the ground.) He knows how to use the remote for the lights in the bedroom.
He has such a thrill turning the lights on and off, and his favorite is making the ceiling fan spin. I'll try to capture the look on his face when he is doing this. He is also getting very close to walking. The picture, once again, shows the area where he likes to stand at the coffee table and then turn and stand next to the sofa. Ocassionally he will make his way around the corner of the coffee table. It won't be long now.

Jordan the Ruffian

Jordan now likes playing a new game with me. Usually the game is played while Ingrid is holding Jordan. I will move-in close to tickle or kiss Jordan and he would stop me with his hand, usually on my cheek, and push me away. He pushes me in a slapping manner so I play along with it. When he pushes my face, I feign like he slapped me (head movement) and spin around and fall back. Upon seeing the effect he has caused he giggles with much joviality. I really enjoy making him laugh. I am also really impressed that he understands the cause and effect of the situation. Sometimes we play the game just between the two of us. While I am holding him he would grab my cheek and push my face to one side and then back to the other side. This would go on for about 20 turns then he gets bored and wishes to do something else(usually look for his Mami).

Tocando la flauta dulce

Jordan puede tocar una la flauta. Aunque sea dificil de creer tiene una flauta de juquete que le regalaron cuando fue a su primer cumpleanos y yo la tocaba cuando le cambiaba su panal ya que ahora se mueve tanto que es dificil mantenerlo quieto echado. Entonces cuando le tocaba la flauta y el se reia y le gustaba ahora el me la quita se la pone a su boquita y empieza a soplar. Se lo escucha muy lindo.

Comiendo Sopa y soplando

Hoy cocine una sopa de trigo (unas de mis faboritas) y Mary vino a almorzar con nosotros. Jordan comio todo la sopa que le di y queria aun mas. Otra cosa que me parecio super curioso fue que Mary le dio su comida y cuando la vio Jordan empezo a soplar y fue curioso para mi cuando Mary se dio cuenta me dijo que el sabado cuando Jordan estaba en su dept. cuidando de Jordan ella salio afuera a fumar y Jordan la veia e imitaba a Mary. A buena hora!! tratare de ensenarle a soplar su vela para su cumpleanos.

Enter the storm

This morning, Jordan woke up like most, sounding off that he is awake and HUNGRY. Lastnight, the weather was typical for this region of the country and time of year. Deadly!!!! Tornadic activity and ferocious thunder storms. We were under a severe weather warning, so I tried to sleep with one eye open. Luckily for me, nothing came out of the warning for I slept like a log. I didn't hear Jordan wake in the middle of the night for his early morning snack (this is usual). I think I will have to get a weather radio...a LOUD one. Anyway, Jordan has developed a new habit. It appears as though he likes to wrestle. After he powers down his morning bottle, he enjoys trying to pin Ingrid. I guess he thinks he could win against her for she is usually dozing in and out. After he finishes with her, he turns on me. I usually hold him down and tickle him for a good bit. Then I have to get ready for work......

>Amigos con la aspiradora<

Jordan piensa que la aspiradora y el pueden jugar juntos y ser amigos. Cada vez que aspiro algun cuarto Jordan corre detras de la aspiradora y la toca y creo reniega cuando hace su trabajo que es pasar por el piso una y otra vez. El lugar donde guardamos la aspiradora Jordan trata de abrir la puerta para que? no se solo se rie y esta faciado por la querida aspiradora.

First Words...

Maybe not, but close. This morning I heard Jordan wake-up singing/yelling in a playful voice. It sounded like "momma bottle". He was probably actually trying to say that, for I know that is what he wanted.

EarthQuake

Early this morning, roughly 5:00am, we had an earthquake of size 4.9 here in Georgia. It wasn't that big but it was enough to wake me up. I knew what it was, or should I say, I had a pretty good idea of what it was but nearly discounted it for these things don't happen in Georgia, at least no very often. I looked over at Ingrid and she was undisturbed. I got up to check the house and to look in on Jordan, all was well and Jordan was fast asleep, uneffected by the shaking. Little does he know, he just witnessed he first earthquake.

Por favor no toques el Agua.-

Jordan ahora le gusta ir al bano pararse en el inodoro y tocar el agua; tambien se da la vuelta y hace dar vueltas al rollo de papel higienico. A tony le parecio gracioso esta historia asi que la comparto con ustedes.

Puden creer que Jordan subio todas las gradas de la casa de sus abuelos, yo no lo vi personalmente, pero Pat me conto que estaba detras de el y que ya puede subir todas las gradas del primer piso al segundo. Estoy muy asombrada por su progreso ya que tambien se para el solito en cada oportunidad que tiene. Cuando se despierta me espera paradito agarradose de la baranda de su cuna. Ayer domingo su Tia Mary le dio carne por primera vez, parece que no le gusto mucho, por ahora prefiere comer pollito.

Standing Tall

Today I saw Jordan standing on his own. Ingrid tells me that he has been doing it quite a bit, but this is the first time I've seen him.

Hoy fuimos por primera vez a comer a un Restaurante Mexicano con Mary, Arielka, Jordan y yo. La pasamo muy bien tenemos que repetirlo mas a menudo.

• This month Jordan is doing many unusual things, for instance; if there is a door open, Jordan is there to push it against the doorstop, very hard. He also likes to lets it swing back and forward. He does this many times while laughing and smiling.
• As of today (Wednesday April 9 2003), Jordan, at his lovely grandparent’s residence, climbed two stairs with no help. All by himself! Of course, we were there to cheer him on. At the finish line and he got many kisses (besitos) from me. Sam (grandpa, Pa-Pa) got a clip for you all to see it.
• Jordan enjoys eating peas and green beans(baby food) not too much of the sweet stuff (much like me). He is still working on expanding his repertoire also he holds his own bottle now that is when I take my five minute break.
