Jordan's starting to get a handle on this walking thing. He isn't quite walking on his own just yet, but we bought him one of those push toys, where he stands behind it and moves forward while holding on for dear life. At first, he was a little weary of it. Then once he got up on it, he took a few wobbly steps. Well, he finally got his sea legs and man does he take off on that thing. It's hilarious to watch.
He still hasn't busted out with any more teeth, which has completely perplexed Jon and I. We thought for sure we'd see more teeth with the way he's been drooling. He also hasn't been eating very well. That also might be because we've been feeding him "third-stage" foods, or baby food that's kind of lumpy. I'm thinking he's not so keen on the baby food and is ready to launch into full-blown adult meals because he eats table food just fine. So far, he's munched on broccoli, crackers, avocado, beans. Pretty much anything we put in front of him. But when it comes to the baby food, it's a fight.
The other thing we're both excited about is his first swimming pool experience. Even though the water's too cold still, Jon's already bought him a little swimming suit. It's really cute too. We can't wait for summer to get here!

Hello Houston
Man, so much to update everyone on! It's been a while (again, sorry) and a lot has happened. Actually, a ton has happened. Ok, where to start...
First of all, we moved to Houston. I got a job working with a Website called Biztools, which is run by Administaff. It's a much better opportunity and in the end, it made a lot of sense because it effectively gets us closer to family. Jordan has handled the move remarkably well. And he's so aware of his surroundings, so I'm pleasantly surprised at how well he's handled it.
We've been in Houston about four weeks now, and in those four weeks Jordan has: learned to crawl really, really fast; stand up on his own; climb stairs; wave; and clap. His development has been lightening-fast. He also has two little teeth, which came in around February. I think he might be getting some more soon, because he's been drooling more than a labotomy patient.
He's now 9 months old. He weighs about 18 pounds, which still seems small to me. But the pediatrician told us not to worry at this point since he still has a lot of growing to do. And his weight isn't due to a lack of eating, because let me tell ya--that kid can eat.
He also got his first major cold about three weeks ago, the aftereffects of which we're still dealing with. He had a fever and then later on developed a cough and congestion. He's still dealing with the congestion and the past couple of nights, he's been waking up at 3 am crying. I think it's because he can't breathe. Poor baby. Needless to say, it's been challenging for me to stay awake and functionaly at work. Poor mommy.
That's all folks! We'll keep you posted as he takes those first steps!

Roll over
Rolling over from tummy to back is known to be a major milestone. And at this point, Jordan's only accomplished it a handful of times. But I'm not worried.
Two days ago, he rolled over from his back to his tummy, which is said to be a harder feat. Not only that, but he keeps doing it. And he's sitting up fairly well unsupported (another milestone that's difficult at his current age). I'm extremely proud.
I have a feeling Jordan's going to be one of those kids that gets ahead of the class with little effort, becomes the owner of a mega corporation without getting a college degree (although I will strangle him if he doesn't finish college) and becomes a millionaire by the age of 30. In other words, he's going to start at the top and not bother with the whole working-your-way-up part. He's already wanting to walk more than crawl. He'd rather us hold him up by his arms in an upward stance than be on his belly. It's hilarious.
He has his six-month doctor's appointment today. Stats soon to come...
