Jordan: 3 Months Old

 I can’t start every blog with “I can’t believe it’s already been ___ months/years” so I’ll try to find another introduction each month. At 3 months, it is starting to feel more like, “I can’t believe I ever knew life without Jordan”. She is already such a part of our thoughts every single day that we can’t remember a time without her. She has captivated and stolen our hearts so quickly that we don’t even mourn our tv time, our sleep, or our movie date nights! I think I've put almost every picture I took this month in this blog,it's so hard to choose and since I'm in charge, I didn't. I decided to include them all!

Jordan’s third month has been full of new adventures! Of course, she’s 3 months old, so almost everything is a first.  

Happy 3 Months Little One!

               

Developmentally, Jordan is picking up her head so high while on her tummy. I’m waiting for her to roll over any day now. She has found her hands and loves to chew on them any chance she gets. She has also started grabbing and holding on to her clothes, her toys, blankets, whatever is in arms reach. Our little girl isn't quite so little, she has been growing A LOT. I get a lot of stares and confusion when I tell people she is only 3 months old. What can I say, the girl eats well. Her chubby little cheeks are so precious though, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Check out those cheeks and lovable rolls!

In the beginning of month 3, it was time for Mommy to go back to work. We’ve done ok for one month in, but I’m not going to lie and say it has been easy. My friend told me it’s much easier to call it “school” then “day care” because then you feel like they’re away being educated and going to school is what all kids do. I like it, so I adopted it too! There are days that are really tough. She’s only 3 months old, but some days she seems to have grown from the time we drop her off to the time we pick her up. I’m so afraid to miss out on something that it makes long work days tough. But Jordan is doing great of course! She has teachers that take really good care of her and that is all we can ask for.

First day of school wore her out!

But we both survived day 1!

After a couple of weeks, Jordan had her first event at “school”. It was culture day and her classroom country was Mali, Africa. Here is a picture of Jordan in her outfit for culture day they made for her at school. It makes me giggle every time!

I love all of the faces we get to capture from Ms. Jordan.  We always try to capture her smile, but get these little gems instead.

                  

Football season has begun, so obviously Chris and I had our first Aggie/Longhorn discussion about what Jordan would wear on the first Saturday of the season. Like any good marriage we compromised and had a wardrobe change after the afternoon A&M game and before the evening Longhorn game. However like any REALLY good marriage, the husband decided to give the wife what she wanted and Jordan wore Aggie gear the next two weekends! J 

  

           

Jordan also made her first trip to College Station for an Aggie football weekend. She was pretty pumped up about the Alabama game and cried all night when it didn’t go our way. It was a fun weekend to catch up with her Gamma and Poppy as well as Aunt Alli, Uncle Matt, her sweet cousin Barrett and her Uncle Kyle who doesn't quite know what to do with her yet. (They're watching football!)

We also had a visitor from Nani the weekend Jordan turned 3 months old. It's always so fun to have visitors to come and love on our baby girl...also that are there so we can nap and have a mini date night.

Just some more of our favorite pictures from the month that we dont' want to forget!



Bath Time

Sweet Face!

She really hadn't been crying, just has watery eyes!


Things we don't want to forget:

- This girl LOVES her bath time
- The way she smiles with her entire body (makes it hard to photograph, always blurry)
- Those rolls, can never forget those rolls
- The way she looks up at her Daddy when he reads to her at night
- She responds to our voices and even smiles when we walk in the room
-When she gets "chatty". Love hearing the beginning of her little voice
- She will hold onto her ball with a serious death grip, even while napping
- She already loves to watch TV......Parents of the Year
- By 3 months, she's already wearing her 6 month clothes
- She still REALLY loves fans
