Jordan: 8 Months



February  proved to be another month filled with new milestones, developments and one happy girl (except for that one pesky ear infection). Jordan is pulling up on everything that can bear her weight. Her favorite item to crawl up on is Mommy and Daddy. She is in a bit of a stage where she really wants her parents. I know this won't last forever, so we will just embrace it with open arms for now!

We started off the month celebrating new babies and our best of friends! We had a baby shower for Mia Aguirre and then attended Luke Holasek's 2nd birthday! We loved celebrating with Mattie Rhine at the party. Jordan will be running around with this girl before we know it!
                                           

This is what we see now in the monitor when this little one is ready to get up. We couldn't take a picture of the first time she pulled up on her crib because the mattress was still up higher and the crib was at her waist. We had to rush in before she just toppled over at 3am! Now we just laugh at her as she stares at the monitor as if to say, "Hello...I'm ready, come get me!"


While Daddy had a couple of road games, Jordan and Mommy watched Disney movies and folded the laundry. Well...kinda. There is not much better than watching her get complete happiness out of something you dread so much!

Another little fun tid bit that we learned this month is that this girl is quick when you try to change her diaper. Everyone needs a break from those stuffy diapers from time to time. I'm sure she'll hate us for these one day, but they're too cute to pass up!





We had a little visit from Grandpapa and got to try on our pretty Valentine's dress Lynn made for Jordan.


We went up to hang out with Daddy and the boys and talk some pregame strategy. Jordan was just staring and listening to him and the other coaches talk hoops, it was really cute. She's such a daddy's girl already and will be on the court before we know it. She's working on her shot already! She flexes her wrist up and down. "Reaching in the cookie jar"

For Jordan's first Valentine's Day we went to her first Gymboree play class. Our little valentine loved learning new songs and climbing on all the new equipment. It is fun to get out of the house on our days together and go play! I love this picture where she is really showing off her two bottom teeth. We had a fun Valentine's day playing and then went to hang out with the boys up in Huntsville!

This just may be one of my favorites. We never capture her profile, but it just shows her sweet little features. She was staring at the lion dangling from her jumper. She can get so intense staring at things sometimes!



We spent a Saturday game day in Hunstville hanging out with Ms. Jayden Hooten during the game! She may not look too excited here, but she loves the band and just watching the basketball game trying to figure it all out.


During season, we LIVE for our Sundays. It is the only full day that we get to spend as a little family of 3. We love taking this girl to the park. It is so fun to watch her swing on the swings, ride in her wagon, check out all the big kids and just watch her love every second of being outside. We cannot wait until summer to get this little roll in the pool! :)

I love when I get to make her an Aggie girl and go show her off! We even like the mohawk. Maybe we'll cut her hair like this even when it grows out!



At the end of the day, these cheeks and snuggles are hard to beat. I know she's growing up and now sleeps and takes naps in her own bed, but from time to time, you absolutely cannot pass up good snuggles. These won't last forever!


Things we don't want to forget:

- That two bottom teeth smile we get when she smiles really big
- She loves peek-a-boo
- We now hear lots of "da" and "ta" noises
- She's developing little tickle spots right on her neck
-Loves watching us dance silly around the house
- Even though she has a blocked tear duct, and sometimes her eyes are stuck shut when she wakes up, she still gives you the biggest one eyed smile when you walk in to get her!
-She's been scooting around, until her leg gets stuck underneath her so she just gives up and sits down and plays with whatever she can reach.
-She smiles all the time, but those little giggles are not as often and are priceless!
- WE'RE SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT...FINALLY!
