This week is going to be a bit crazy (and fun!) so I wanted to take a minute, while it's quiet, to jot down some things about this adorable little man that you see above . . .
* Today marks 11 months since we came down the infamous escalator at Bluegrass Airport with our precious gift, Jordan! Wow. I cannot believe it's almost been a whole year of being home with our sweet little man! What a wild ride it's been! We are so so so blessed!!!!
* Jordan will turn 18 months on Tuesday, the 4th. 1 1/2 years old!!! I've heard it said over and over, "It just goes by so fast!" Now, I TOTALLY get what everyone has been saying all of these years. Slow down, sweet Jordan! You are growing up way too fast! :)
18-month milestones . . .
Food: The appetite has not changed. I've heard it's coming, but for now, we still have a VERY good eater on our hands. :) Favorite food: COOKIES!!!!
Personality: Jordan continues to reveal his "true" colors as the days go by. :) We have a VERY sweet, sensitive little man on our hands, but we also have a very stubborn, loud, 110% all-boy as well. Needless to say, I (mommy) am learning how to handle the world of BOY. I've started reading Bringing Up Boys by Dr. James Dobson. So far, very helpful (and comforting to know that my son is a NORMAL boy when he likes to throw, climb, hit, pounce, attack, all of the above . . . ). :)
Vocabulary: Wow! This boy can TALK!!!! All of a sudden, Jordan likes to mimic everything he hears! (uh-oh) Some of his favorite words right now include: applesauce, please, Nat-ee (Natalie), bird, airplane, muh-muh (milk), hello (pronounced "heh-wo"), bye-bye, mommy, daddy, Jayce, and Nee-na (Nana). Some of my favorite moments with Jordan are when I catch him jabbering away when he thinks no one is listening. He is usually talking to someone/something outside, or he is having a very detailed conversations with one of his toys. HILARIOUS!!!!
Sleep: As you already know, we've transitioned to the toddler bed, and things seem to be going pretty smoothly. So far, so good!
Health: Besides the occasional cough and runny nose, we've got a very healthy, happy boy on our hands! Thank you, Jesus!
Favorites: Jordan is really into trains, planes, and cars right now. Oh, and he enjoys anything that he can throw that makes some kind of loud noise when it lands. :)
Happy 18 months, Jordan Bezuneh! We love you and look forward to celebrating our very first Family Day this month with you!!! (more on that later . . . )

He could not be any cuter, Happy 18 months beautiful boy....
PS and yes we have an itch to do another adoption too, just figuring out how we can do it.....
Stefany ... I remember you telling the BGWP group about the blog, and I found it! I hope you don't mind me lurking. I'm thrilled for you two and your beautiful Jordan! He is such a precious gift!
