Hi Sweet Boy!
You are about to turn twenty months old tomorrow and I can't believe I just thought about making this blog for you! I was snuggling with you the other day and you were doing something really silly as we were singing. We were singing "Oh, How I Love Jesus" with your Praise Baby cd and every time I would sing the word "oh" you would make your mouth into the shape of an "oh". Somehow you managed to hold it while smiling the whole time. :)
Anyways, I thought, I really need to start writing stuff down that you do. I really don't want to forget, but the reality of life is that it is zooming by. I know you're probably excited about all of the new things you can do now, but sometimes I miss Baby Jordan. Don't get me wrong...I like the longer naps and the sleeping at night. But you are just getting so big and so this is my desperate attempt to hold onto today.
Right now you are in that phase where most of the time you look and act like a little boy. Every once in a while, you do something that reminds me that you are still just a baby. It's fun to enjoy both sides of you. Every morning you have to sit in my lap while you drink milk. If I put you down before you're done, you lose it! I finally figured out that a) it's not worth the battle just to get started on stuff around the house and b) you will be a big kid soon and I will really miss our morning snuggles!
I wish I had time to write all of the silly little things you do. You love to climb (everything!) and you love to help. Sometimes I find myself being really impatient with you. You are so curious and you are always two steps behind me trying to figure out what things are and why in the world I would be doing whatever chore I'm doing. Every once in a while I catch you with a sock on your hand, dusting something random because that's what I do when I dust!
Speaking of copying everything...yesterday your dad hocked up a loogie (spelling?)...disgusting! We were on a walk and he cleared his throat and spit. Well, you had to do the same thing. Only yours was cute, not gross. :)
I hope you know how much of a blessing you are to us and to so
many other people. You freely give hugs, and high fives, and waves...and if they are lucky...kisses! The other day we were walking through the library parking lot and you suddenly stopped. I looked down and you were waving at an older gentleman who was in his car. You did not stop until he looked at you and smiled and then you moved on content. I pray that Jesus will capture your heart because you can be such a blessing to others when you share His love with others!
I seriously could go on and on about your obsession with dogs and airplanes and trains. You're all boy and all sweetness combined.
I'm sorry for the times that I lose my patience. I am always trying to let go of my agenda and surrender it to Jesus. It is hard for a type A person like me! I'm thankful that he blessed me with a little free spirit like you to keep my life interesting.
I love you, buddy.
