Happy Memorial Day to my friends and family! I love everyone and I am trying to show off my new skill.... waving! I am wearing my cute baby girl outfit. I am spending my first Memorial Day with my Amma and Afi. My daddy is in Vegas this weekend. He is going to miss our cookout... but that's ok more hamburger's for me!
Jordan Says:
This is my cousin Casey. I saw him in Febuary. He had a really cool spider man mask! My mom found him standing in my crib shooting web...... Mommy went to the Monster Truck Show while I slept at home with my Grandma! Casey went too....but maybe he should have stayed home and taken a nap like me!!!! He looks very sleepy in this picture.
This is my cousin Siobhan. She is standing in the snow at my house. She was playing with my two dogs...Ladie and Roxy. It was too cold for me to go outside... Siobhan was staying nice and warm in her coat and hat She lives in Michagan.... and the snow at my house is nothing like the snow at her house. She was so sweet to me while she visited. She held me and smiled for pictures. She played with my toys and gave me a kiss!
This is Jordan Elizabeth with Grandpa......Looking so cute and being a snuggler! This is when Grandma and Grandpa came into town in Febuary. The entire family came to our house. Aunt Lynn, Uncle Phil, Cousin Casey, Cousin Siobhan and Aunt Tanya. Jordan's Great Aunt Martha came to visit as well. We all had a great time together and it was the first time that the Uncle's, Aunts and Cousin's got to meet Baby J... (all except Uncle Brett and cousin Ethan). Jordan was showing off her big smile. She was was such a good baby girl with all the company! She loved up on her Grandpa and Grandma. Jordan's misses everyone alot! We can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa to move up to Tennessee.
Grandma helped put her to sleep! She just loved up on Jordan all weekend. Jordan is wearing her cute pea outfit that her Amma gave her for Valentines Day. It was actually snowing a few times when Grandma and Grandpa were here so we had to put a long sleeve onesie under her outfit to keep baby girl warm. We Miss and Love Everyone!!!
This is a picture of Jordan and Amma. Jordan is less than 24 hours old in this picture. This is the first time that she actually had her eyes open and was attempting to focus on a object. I love this picture and it reminds me of what a wonderful mom I have. I hope I am able to be the same kind of mom to Jordan. This Mother's Day....being my first as a mother.... I am reflecting on what a wonderful momma I have and how lucky I am to have her. Happy Mothers Day to my Momma and all the Mom's out there!
This picture was taken in December with Grandpa. This was the first time Jordan met her Grandpa. This picture has a funny story... Jordan and I met Grandpa to get something to eat. It was the first time that I brought Jordan into public alone (with out my Mom or Eric to help). I was determined to make through this day successfully. No sooner did we sit down to eat did Jordan have a massive poo. I took her to the bathroom and then entire way I was telling my self....don't panic..you can do this! I slowly get everything out to change a diaper. It took me FOREVER to juggle everything with the baby. I had a crowd of elderly on-lookers that were "cooing" and giving advice. When I finally got to taking her clothes off I realize that she had poo everywhere. It was up her back, down her leg, on her foot, on her tummy. I almost had a panic attack but I kept my composure. I had to deal with this.... with confidance. I reach into my diaper bag only to realize that I did not pack a change of clothes...."you have got to me kidding me".... in this HUGE diaper bag I have everything in the world but a simple change of clothes. I cleaned her up and put on a fresh diaper and then I wrapped my barely 4 week old in a blanket....with nothing but a diaper on. I was so worried about all the other "mom's" and what they would think. But....Jordan fell right back to sleep and slept through the entire meal. When I got back to my sister's house she gave me some of Ian's clothes to put on Jordan.... thus the "boy jacket"... complete with her purple blanket. Even though it was a stressful day for me.... Jordan slept peacfully... even though she was wearing every color of the rainbow. To this day I ALWAYS check her diaper bag to make sure we packed a change of clothes! HA!
This is one of our famous "saturday morning" pictures. Eric and I just sit around and shoot pictures of her. Jordan is so relaxed here. She is really so easy to take care of... Just give her a warm bottle and dry clothes and she is good to go. This is jordan at about 3 months. She was laying on her daddy's chest listening to her Baby Einstein CD. It is simple moments like these that make life wonderful. I love you baby j... you are momma's cute-pea!
