Family time!!

Jordan and the rest of the family just got back from spending time with Daddy’s side of the family. You can see the girl enjoyed playing with her Uncle. For someone who moved out of state, we sure have been lucky to see him so often.

We also had a chance to spend with Jordan and Cam’s great-grandparents who can’t travel like they used to. Jordan was not into giving kisses to her Moma Dot – until right before we were leaving Moma Dot and Daddy Jr’s house. The trick: Make sure I’m not in the room. I’m hoping someone in the house got a picture of Jordan doling out the smooches. I tell you, there’s something about me that keeps her from sharing the love with everyone else.

So there are some fun things going on in the language department: Many, many words. Some of the funniest. Jordan’s Grandpa is named Poppy. Jordan has recently stopped calling all dogs Bubba in honor of our fat pug, she now calls them “puppy.” But the difference between “puppy” and “Poppy” is slight. Only an expert hear can notice that difference. Another funny one: “hot” and “hat.” Oh, and her blankey is officially named “Lamby.” She is still walking about the house assigning items: The couch is Daddy, my computer is “Mommy.” Ditto for my chair in the kitchen and of course my van and bike and phone. Now wait, the phone is “Elmo” because she can watch Elmo on it.

Anyway, during our drive home tonight, Jordan got chatty. I sat next to her to help her eat her dinner… And girlfriend wouldn’t stop talking. She talked and talked and a few times I could notice a word or two. But whatever she was telling me was SERIOUS. I just nodded my head and responded to the words I thought I heard. If this is what we’re headed into — it’s going to be tricky to think with all that chatter.

Oh! One other thing: Poppy trimmed Jordan’s hair for the second time in her life. Just a little off the back to help even out the natural layers she’s growing. It looks great and it think it will help lighten the load and help the curls pop out a little more. Hooray curls! (I only say that because I don’t have any and I think they’re cool)
