Jordy is 11 Months Old

Just checking out the pantry

Jordy has had a big month! He is totally mobile and loving every minute of it.

Some things he is doing now:

• He is crawling everywhere including up the stairs
• He is eating all table food (Some of his favorites are cheese, grilled cheese, pancakes, waffles, bread, oranges, cheerios)
• He is only taking 1 nap a day (usually about 2-3hours) and sleeps from 6:15 pm to 7:15 am
• He is wearing mostly 18 month clothing
• He has 4 teeth (1 on top and 3 on bottom) and has two more coming in
• He is signing "all done" and saying "all done"
• He loves to ride any of the ride on toys we have all over the back yard
• He stands up to anything he can

Tub Time With Jordy

I couldn't resist this photo op with Jordy the other day. Lately I have not been able to put the boys in the tub together because Jordy is out of control constantly, trying to stand up and splash around and Logan gets a little frustrated and rough so for now they each get their own time. Jordy LOVES his bath and goes nuts when he knows he's getting in. This first pic is what he is constantly trying to pull himself up to do. He is pretty proud of himself and so is Mommy ;)

Meet Buttercup

Apparently we have a new member of our household as of the last month or so. Meet Buttercup as Logan named him. He is our praying manthis that lives in our backyard. Like I said he has been there for at least a month, maybe longer. At first I was a little apprehensive about this big giant bug but I have come around to kind of liking the little guy. I guess I have to get used to this stuff with a house full of boys. :) We look forward to going outside and seeing where he is that day.

Jordy is Crawling!

I will say Jordy is officially crawling. He has been army crawling for the past few weeks but this week he has really been trying to get up on all fours. I am definitely in for it now! No more easy baby . . . He's ready to rock and roll :)

Old Timers

Last night was the annual "Old Timers" Banquet for Hensel Phelps. It was a fun night to go to Newport and stay at the Balboa Bay Club and enjoy a good night with friends. Oh and also to honor those who have been with the company 5 years or more. We had a great time!

Such good friends!

Let's Go To The Movies!

Today Logan got to have a special day with Daddy and go to the MOVIES! It was his first time going to the theatre and he did great. They went and saw Smurfs and he came home singing the catchy theme tune. They had a great time and Daddy even got them a special treat while they were there .

Jordy is 10 Months Old!

Jordy is 10 Months old this week! He is such a happy little guy with such a loveable personality.

Some things he is doing now:

• Not crawling on all fours yet but he is army crawling to wherever he wants to go



• He is a very picky eater and it is driving me crazy. He is eating cheese (his favorite), beans, frozen veggies, bread, chicken etc.



• He is wearing 12-18 month clothes
  



• He is drinking water out of a sippy but formula out of a bottle still



• He can play independently for a long time. It still amazes me how two kids from the same two parents can be so different. I love exploring their personalities



• The screaming phase continues but we have definitely added more letters to our arsenal



• He is extremely ticklish



• He still has 3 teeth on bottom

Busy August Part 2

The second part of our trip was spent in Kansas with Daddy and his family. We spent some time in KC with Jeremy's brother Jon and his family and then all headed to Hutchinson to see Grandma and Papa Wright as well as Aunt Amy and Uncle Clay and their new little girl Adi! We also managed to somehow surprise Grandma Cindy for her 60th Bithday with a party with many of her friends and of course her kids and grandkids. It was another great week and many memories were made.

Jordy and Jaxon

So in this picture Jaxon is wearing Jon's old t-shirt and Logan is wearing Jeremy's old t-shirt from when they were little. It was too cute and they both really liked wearing them.

Daddy found a Garter snake and of course had to get Logan to touch it!

Busy August Part 1

We are finally home and settled from our little Midwest hiatus. Logan, Jordy, and I headed back to Omaha on the 1st and spent some time with Grandma and Papa Stanzel. It was a nice and relaxing trip and I had a great time catching up with some old friends as well.

Logan go to watch a tractor mow right outside Gma and Papa's front door

On Tuesday we headed to the Omaha Children's Museum. Not gonna lie, coolest place ever!!! Definitely going to be a fun place to go back to over the years. They even had a Dinosaur exhibit whilt we were there and Logan is still talking about it!

Grandma Dee and Papa Greg with the boys

Jordy had a great time too!
Jordy esopecially LOVED the carousel

Sprinkler time with Papa

Grandma Dee took us to a Splash Pad that was great on a hot day

I couldn't reach Jordy very well and his head had fallen forward in the carseat while he napped. Poor Guy! But thank goodness his big brother was there to rescue him :) Logan was too cute holding his head up for him.

At the Park

We had to stop and check out the cement trucks after the park

And I got to go to a good high school friend's wedding. It was so nice to catch up with some old friends, Mandy and Brian.
