Life in Texas is finally becoming bearable for Chris and I. It's still a bit warm but we're excited that the temperatures are cooling down a bit so we can actually go outside and enjoy a family stroller ride. We had a lot of fun this weekend with celebrating Mom's birthday on sunday. We had all of us there, including Jeremy and Laura, along with the Bennion family, which is always alot of fun. Jordon and Matthew had quite the time. They tried to interact with each other but being a sunday and how both of their schedules get so mixed up with church and interupted naps, they were both exhausted. But it was a lot of fun to see Matthew, he's such a cute boy, making us see what Jordon might be doing in a month.
We have figured out a better routine for now for Jordon. He has always been so active at night and waking up off and on in the middle of his night time sleep that i figured that he might be getting the wrong amount of sleep at the wrong time. He's awake for quite a bit of time during the day, but i've limited his last nap until 5:30-6 at night, so he can go down around 8 with another last feeding around 9:30 and then back to bed around 10. He sleeps until 7 or so in the morning now. We have also figured out why he hates tummy time. He rolled over once and that was it for about a week or so. He has great arm muscles but he only uses them when he's propped up on something. So I make him lay on a stuffed animal as if he's attacking it and put down toys in front of him to entertain him and it works quite well. And because of it, he's been rolling over at least once a day for right now, he's getting used to being a little mobile.
Chris and I are doing pretty good with juggling life with a baby now, parenthood is a lot of fun, yet challenging sometimes. But it's all worth it when we see Jordon look up at us, recognizing us as mommy and daddy. It melts our hearts every time. We're so blessed to have such a healthy son. Things could've been different, considering how small and weak he was, but we appreciate our family's prayers during that rough time.
This fall we are hoping to be able to use some of Chris's vacation time to either go to San Antonio or use it for when Mom Gallis comes to see us. She's still going thru rehab and we're hoping by October she'll be able to come spend some time with us and be able to spoil Jordon even more. We are also trying to update our house little by little. We have redone the master bathroom shower, updated the hallway lights, and painted the back 3 rooms. We're slowly trying to figure out what colors to do for the hallway, living room, and kitchen. Maybe with Kacey's expertise decorating skills, we'll be able to get this place looking good before Christmas.

Hope everything is going well for everyone. Here are some recent pictures!
Jordon has graduated to actually being able to be in the main part of the stroller, he's getting so big!
He sure enjoys his bath time too!
Enjoy the pictures!

He is getting cuter by the day! I wish we could be down there to see him growing up. I'm glad you and Chris are enjoying the parenting experience so much :)
