Dear Jordan,
Life is just flying by. Yesterday, you were a little bitty baby who needed to be held to fall asleep and needed a bottle every two hours. Today, you're a little boy who just pushed his pretend car by my chair and said "Bye, mama". I feel like God has given me wisdom to savor today because I know before long, you will be grown up and I will miss these crazy days...and yes, they are crazy!
You keep doing things that blow our minds. I'm going to name a few and you'll probably laugh at this, but for us, we are constantly amazed at watching you grow up. For example, last night, I fixed sloppy joe's for dinner. I put your meat on your open bun because you usually just go at it with a spoon and your fingers. Last night, though, you watched your dad put his sloppy joe together and then you closed your bun and picked it up and started eating it like a big kid. We were both so amazed by that! (I told you, you will laugh!). You also have started asking questions like "What's that?" and "Where did he go?". I had no idea how much fun it would be to watch you develop.
You have been sleeping better this week. Last week you were sick and it was kind of a hard week from you. But the past couple of weeks you slept past sunrise. Whoo hoo! You have no idea how nice it is for me to get up and get my head on straight before you wake up. I am thankful that you still need a good snuggle when you wake up. I will miss that when you grow out of it. Maybe you never will!
Back to eating...you are always more interested in what I'm eating than what you are, even if we are eating the same thing. Every few minutes you push your plate over to me so I can put some food on your plate. This morning we were both eating oatmeal and you just wanted to eat my oatmeal.
On Friday, we went to the OU English Conversation Club Thanksgiving meal. We hosted a table and they all really enjoyed you. For some reason, international students just love you. They had a professional photographer and you were in a lot of pictures with people we had never met. It was pretty cute! You ate your meal on my lap and shared with me. I kept trying to give you bites, but you refused. But you stuck your spoon into the bread and would eat bites of food off of the bread. Silly-ness!
Well, you are lounging on the keyboard right now. Time for me to go! We are going to a playdate with some friends here in a bit, so we should probably get ready.
Thanksgiving is this week. I am so excited to celebrate with you and your Daddy. I am beyond blessed to have you two!
Love, Mom
