Welcome Back

I know. I know.  Its been awhile.  Things have been moving so fast.  Today at church I saw a seven week old baby.  I turned to Steph and asked her if Jordan was ever that small, and she said yes.  And for the first time in 6 months, I was blown away by how fast time has passed since Jordan was born.

This past week was my Spring Break.  10 straight days at home (for the most part) with Jordan.  I took him to daycare once to go get my haircut, have lunch with friends and go to a movie.  And it was one of the first times that thought about him constantly when I was gone.  Other than that, it was a lot of time at home.    Jordan loves his Johnny Jump Up.  If you haven't seen the video I posted on facebook yet, you should.  He also loves to explore.  He is "crawling" around everywhere, and he is fast.  His "crawling" consists of pulling himself around and using his left leg to push himself.  I can only assume that crawling is right around the corner.  Steph and I started to babyproof, but there are a few more things to do.

He has one tooth coming in.  We can only assume that the recent fussiness and frequent breaks in sleep are a result of that.  The other constant nuisance has been his eczema.  We have been trying a number of different things in combination that have had varying degrees of success.  One of the things we won't try is something a friend's grandmother suggested: urine.

Jordan loves his real food.  We have pretty much run the gamete of fruits and vegetables.  He isn't too fond of blueberries, but everything else he seems to enjoy.  He is also starting to take juice from a sippy cup, but that hasn't been going to well lately, maybe because of the teething.

Sorry that this entry isn't very entertaining or insightful, but knew I needed to try and get back into the swing of things.
