Amazed daily

That is probably the best way to describe Steph's and my reaction to Jordan.  It is amazing how fast he is developing and how fast he is learning.  Only weeks ago, he was just learning how to sit up.  Now he goes from his stomach to sitting to crawling to sitting much faster than I could.

At times, I believe that our perspective is skewed because he is our only child, and we just haven't been around a lot of babies as they are developing, but "he is so smart." And by smart, I mean that the Pavlovian principles of classical conditioning apply to him perfectly.  However, I believe that Jordan is starting to grasp the idea of object permanence, usually not grasped until 8-12 months.  This is just one example.

I hope we don't end up becoming the parents that think their child is good at everything, and smarter than everyone else, and cuter than everyone else, and more skilled than everyone else, and more creative than everyone else, and more intuitive than everyone else, and more humble than everyone else, and I think you get the point.  Because if you haven't, I'm sure Jordan already has.  (haha - insert sarcasm here)

But then again, one of his favorite toys is an old cheese puff bag.
