19 Months


I picked up a couple parenting books at the library the other day and one of them had the perfect definition of a a toddler. so adorable and fun one minute...so stubborn and demanding the next That describes Jordan to a T. Here's what he's up to at 19 months...

- Says no to everything. Even if he wants it, he'll say no when you ask him. I have yet to hear him say the word yes. Sometimes just for a laugh I will ask him if he likes marshmallows or basketball or something that I know he loves and without fail he'll say no.


- He pushes the couch cushions up. Luke figured out that he does it so he can get up on the couch easier. He also loves to jump on the couch when the cushions are pushed up.


- When we walk to or from the car he has to be in front. If you get ahead of him he freaks out.
- Anything that is round or a circle is a ball to him and he must have it. I made these two balls for him using this tutorial and some left over scraps of fabric. He loves them and thought it was so funny to knock them out before I could take a picture.


- He calls Luke mama. He also calls me mama. I realized this the other day when he brought a picture of Luke to me and kept saying mama and pointing. Then I pointed to the picture and said who's that and he said mama!

- He is so sneaky. If you are eating something he will want some. He then takes what you give him and goes and hides it and then comes back and asks for more. He'll keep doing this until you catch on that there is no way he ate whatever it is you gave him in that short amount of time.

- He would rather take a shower than a bath.

- He LOVES the computer. If we ever leave the door to the den open he'll run right in and get up in the computer chair and start typing and clicking away.

And if you haven't had enough, here's a video of him...just being him.

What a cute thing to do. Jordan sounds like McKay. I think they would be great friends if we lived closer to each other.

When are we gonna get together? Like I always say, Jordan and Walker must be soul mates!! It looks like Jordan talks a little bit more though.

So cute! I didn't even realize until halfway through that Georgia was absolutely glued, watching this video! All of sudden she stopped wiggling on my lap and just watched so intently! And was he doing the sign for "please?" So darling!
