BIrthday Party Giggles

"More"

Happy 1st Birthday Jordan!

Dear Jordan,

Thank you for coming into our lives a year ago today! We love you....everything about you (well, except for the sleepless nights still).

Are you sure your name isn't George? Curious George? Your curiosity is there every minute of the day. Ever since you could crawl at 10 months, you have to open every cabinet, touch everything in front of you and climb to things that are out of your reach. You love taking forks, spoons and particularly knives out of the dishwasher.

Are you going to be a tech head just like your Dad? You love remote controls, cell phones, IPads and computers already.

You are so outgoing, smiling at everyone you see. NannyG reports that when you go to the library for storytime, you are more interested in the people than the stories. Your smile is beautiful and your giggle infectious. You haven't yet (and maybe never) will have stranger anxiety....you will go to anyone and love to touch people's noses as a way to say hello.

You adore your sister....you want to do what she is doing and love it when she chases you and makes you giggle.

(First of 3 celebrations - Florida)

Just like Gigi, you are ticklish, particularly the backs of your chubby legs.

You love all types of food, but most of all you love fruit -- blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are some of your favorites.

You have a few words -- Mama, Up, something that sounds like More. You know how to sign "more" (just learned while we were visiting Mema and Pepa this week).

You love music....and love to hear people sing. You even know how to shake your booty.

You love the water, both in the bath and the pool. Your favorite thing is to get in the bath with Daddy and Gigi on a relaxed weekend morning. You haven't yet met the ocean.

You love animals....no fear of any animal of any size. The first time you got on a horse, you didn't cry or even have one minute of worry. Just a big smile across your face. You love dogs, both Camille and Mystic and every other dog that you meet.

You know how to clap and "wave". Your wave is more like a signal to come here....so adorable.

You are still mostly a crawler, but took two steps on June 18th.

Your teeth....well, you have 6 of them, but they are slow to come in, causing you pain and Mommy and Daddy some sleepless nights.

You are truly all boy. Never ending energy....you don't want to be held in by the high chair or stroller. You want to be free. You are our little explorer.

We are so happy you came into our lives a year ago. Happy Birthday, sweet prince.

We love you,

Mama and Daddy
