Jourdan Jourdan Jourdan

We are doing good out here in San Diego. We found out that Eaan will be going to Hawaii for a month or so in October and that he might be deploying again in June '08. Crazy, huh. Gotta love the military. We haven't been doing much but getting back into a routine. Jourdan is growing up so fast. We had a little photo session the other day and I took maybe 150 pictures. Don't worry I deleted a lot of them. I love digital cameras! You can take as many pictures as you want and just delete the bad ones. Jourdan always tries to grab the camera, he wants to play with it more than smile for me. But that's ok. I got some good shots. He still loves that little blue puppy; sleeps with him every night.

My little camera ham.



I love this picture, I got it right before the tears started rolling. It's true to life, you can't be happy all the time.

New Hairs

I now have black hair...

I looooove it!







Yeah, me & the random posts...I just posted about 5 tonight..lol. Mostly pictures of Jourdan, of course. I don't know what I would take pictures of if it wasn't for him! Check out the other posts down below!

Daddy's Boots

Busy, busy, busy...

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a couple weeks. It has been very busy here. Jourdan & I were in Maryland for a week for his birthday, than Eaan's family came into town the next weekend and Eaan came home on September 11th.

Jourdan just had his one year check up. We are happy to report he is a healthy, happy little baby boy. He just broke 20 pounds. Walking does not interest him although he did take a couple steps for his daddy. Jourdan & Eaan are getting alone well, spending lots of "guy time" together. He has grown up so much in just a year. Thought I would post a slide show of him from the past year.

Happy Birthday Little Boy

Homecoming

Eaan is finally home! I am so excited. It has been a hard 5 months but he is finally back. Jourdan and Daddy are getting alone great. They are getting to know each other again. It was exciting watching his boat come in. He was able to bring his Uncle Lance on the boat from Hawaii to San Diego, called a Tiger Cruise. Eaan's family came to see him come home and to see Lance too of course. We had a blast with his family. Eaan is glad to be home and off the ship. Now that Eaan is home, everything is back to normal, we are already getting on each other's nerves...It's great! I will be posting some more pictures from his deployment in a couple days.

Maryland

Being home in Maryland was a lot of fun. I love being back home, I can not wait until Eaan is able to come and visit with us!

Tommy loves it when we go and visit him @ work!




Jourdan ♥s Cheerios!



All Smiles!



He was even good on the plane ride!

September 11th

Eaan is home! Such a sad day for him to come home on but we are happy he is finally here.

Another Birthday Party for Jourdan

Jourdan had another party in Maryland this Sunday, the 26th. Lucky little boy. Jourdan is still scared of ballons but he loved his ice cream cake. As you can see it's all over his face. He loved all his presents too and the doggies that came to the party. 5 in all. Jourdan loves doggies and couldn't help but feed them some of his ice cream cake.

Happy Birthday Jourdan!

FIRST STEPS!

Jourdan took his 1st steps today! Just a couple, but still there were 3 definite steps. He walked to Grandma! He is growing up so fast. I can't wait until Eaan comes home to see him.

Facing Forward

We had another first the other day. I switched Jourdan's car seat around to face forward. I think he really likes it. At first he was really quiet and just looked around. Now he talks, well babbles, and looks out at all the cars driving by. I took some pictures of us on his first car ride facing forward. Don't worry I was at a stoplight, not driving.

Birthday Boy!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JOURDAN!

In The World of a 1 Year Old

In the past week Jourdan has managed to...

1. Get himself wedged halfway under the couch...chasing his ball
2. Learn how to use a straw (who cares if it is a purple & pink cup)
3. Get his arm stuck in baby gate while...chasing his ball
4. Vocalize to decibels only dogs can hear
5. Shake his head NO at me, numerous times!
6. Turn off my computer...
7. Open my CD player...
8. And turn off the TV with a push of a button.
   

I can't wait for next week!

Jourdan's 1st Birthday!

Enjoy the pictures from Jourdan's 1st Birthday, we are having another party in Maryland next week. I will post more pictures soon!

He had a cars theme for the party. Gotta love the cake!



Happy Birthday Jourdan!

New Buzz Cut!

Jourdan got a new haircut the other day! We buzzed his head...he looks so grown up. I think his favorite game is to play catch. Well he does not catch that much but he certainly can throw the ball. He would not sit still of me to take pictures. He needed to play with his ball. That's ok because he looks cute no matter what he is doing. ;)

Look at that throw!



Those cheeks! That chin(s)! Love em!



I love his new haircut. A mohawk is coming next!

The Week of the Wisdom Tooth

Aunt Sandra and Cousin Will came out to visit Jourdan and I this past week. They were a huge help. I got my wisdom tooth pulled and they watched Jourdan while I slept. I got plenty of much needed sleep! We also made sure to have a lot of fun.

When Sandra and Will got here Jourdan got some of his birthday presents early! He loved ripping off the paper and chewing on his birthday card. He looks so cute running around pushing his little car. Thanks Grandmom and Grandpa Boughton!

Of course on a hot summer day a baby pool is a must. So we pulled out the pool and Jourdan had a ball. What is better than a pool? The Beach! We went to Dana Point and played on the beach and went Whale watching. We saw dolphins, sea lions and blue whales. They were so beautiful.

We also went to the Cabrillo National Monument. This is a lighthouse at the end of Point Loma, just a couple miles down the road from my apartment. We were able to see Eaan's squadron on Coronado from the binoculars at the monument.

I just want to say Thank you to Sandra and Will. Without you guys I don't know what I would have done. You have been such a big help over the summer with Eaan being gone.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
