On your mark...
Get Set
He's almost ready to go. Does this look like someone who is interested in crawling? This isn't a developmental thing so much as a tempermental thing. He's got the strength of a toddler and the energy of a small nuclear reactor. That's why I can't wait until next week. Next week is the next stop on the Party Pooper Tour '08. This next stop will take us to NYC and the lovely Pocono Mountains. While there I plan to enjoy other people holding onto the baby that loves to kick and hates to sit. I will enjoy watching his aunts' shirts be ruined. I will relax in a world class restaurant while Aunt Toni bathes the boy who does not stop splashing. I will drink cocktails with my wife while Aunt Traci feeds Jordan and Jordan tries to help while using his hands to grab pureed carrots. Some may call it a family reunion, but for his parents it will be a semi-vacation. I even got granddad to take pictures. OK I confess, I couldn't stop him if I tried. He has already finished half the video he is making for the trip that hasn't occured yet. The family has a pool for when the video will be finished and emailed to the parents. Granddad returns from the trip around dinnertime Monday. The pool currently is predicting that the odds are he will finish the video and email it before 8am Tuesday - 10am if he sleeps first.
PS - if anyone ever needs or wants to see the birthday montage again, I have moved it to the bottom of the screen.

I hate to do it to ya, but if you think you're going to send me home with 25 extra pounds in drool soaked laundry, and suffer no consequence, well...it's just not goin' down like that (airlines charge extra for overweight luggage!)
Don't get me wrong, I'll take a knock or two for m'boy, but you know, gas, the economy, yadda ya: times are rough! Your parting gift will be a fully mobile baby boy.
That's right! It's now my mission to get him independently mobile! From what I hear, that's when the real fun begins :)
P.S...can you post (or just bring one w/you) a pic of him in the playpen?
THE video? There's the video of Rochelle seeing Jordan for the first time since September, the video of Gail et. al. and the video of Marilyn and Kalik seeing him for the first time, plus the family reunion starring JJV. I am bring 10 hrs. of tape to NY. In addition I'm expect Jordan to ask me to pick him up from the airport.
I probably won't have the video ready for 2 days if I don't sleep during that period of time.
Company from abroad left this morning and I now await the arrival of "His Majesty" (not you Granddad!)
I look forward to seeing all of you. My kids will be here and I expect to relive some of those early times together.
See you manana -
Love, Gail
You left a short time ago and I'm still smiling. Jordan - you are a delicious child with a wonderful temperment. I love that you go to everybody and you are such a content baby. Of course, I will begin to nag my kids that it is time for me to be a nana.
The family looks wondeful and just as I expected, the visit was a pleasure - just too short.
I hope you all come back for a visit and we can retell those great stories.
Hope you enjoy the family gathering.
Much love,
Gail
