Mobility

Dominic has decided just rolling around and sitting on his bum is not enough. He has decided to start crawling. It makes things interesting when I walk into the other room and a little bit later I hear the sounds of him crawling into the room to find me. It also makes things interesting for a brother and his toys. They are no longer safe, much to Jordan's surprise. It just means we all have to be a little quicker.

Teeth

You would think that my brain would work. Jordan has been a little fussier lately. It wasn't until the other day that I noticed he was cutting his 2 year molars ... that explains it.

Dominic has been having fun with teeth as well. He has his two bottom front teeth. He decided that wasn't enough. He started cutting some teeth on top. He couldn't do just one at a time though. He started with one front and one eye tooth. He didn't stop there. Before they even broke through, he started with the other front tooth and eye tooth. He is so happy! Bless his little heart.

Peek-A-Boo

It is so much fun to watch Jordan and Dominic play together. I was doing something in the kitchen and heard giggling behind me. I turned to see Jordan and Dominic playing peek-a-boo behind me. They were on either side of the dishwasher and peeking around the corner at each other.

"Temple"

Jordan loves temples. Every building he sees with a steeple is a "temple". Most of the time they would turn out to be churches, we would tell him so. Now he says "Temple", if we tell him no, he says "church". If it turns out to be anything else, like a bank, we just let it go ... He usually goes through the entire family, "Daddy, Temple", Daddy responds, "No, church." "Mommy, Temple". Mommy responds: "No, church", etc. It was fun when we went to Idaho. We made sure to go by several temples. Jordan was so excited. He kept pointing out the Temples. Of course, we had to get his picture in front of them too.

There is nothing shy about Jordan. We would walk along the sidewalk and he would smile and wave at every person who walked by.

Not Quite Right

The other day Jordan decided he wasn't getting helped fast enough ... so he took matters into his own hands. He pulled out his shorts and decided to dress himself. He didn't too bad considering this was his first attempt. He had both legs through one leg and they were upside down. But all things considered ... not too bad.

"Dordan's"

Jordan has learned a new word ... "Dordan's". It is really quite fun. He likes to go around the house and claim everything. Of course, he also makes sure his sister and brother are made aware quickly if they happen to be touching something that he claims as "Dordan's". Now we are working on sharing.

Stuck No More

I knew it couldn't last forever ... but a little more time would have been nice ... guess it wasn't meant to be. My little man can now escape ... He has been practicing a lot between his crib and his brother's crib. He climbs in and out a lot. Of course, Dominic doesn't seem to mind too much. He enjoys having his brother climb in to play with him. I am just a bit nervous of Jordan trying to help Dominic get out of bed and the implications there. This should be interesting to see how nap time goes.
