Teeth, Fairies, Etc.

Big news everyone...Jordan got three new teeth this weekend! That brings the grand total up to 5. He's actually starting to get hair now too and he walks almost everywhere. I can't believe how big he's getting! Now if he would just outgrow his infant car seat carrier thing I could get him one of those car seats that you leave in the car and my back might recover from hauling him around in the carrier. Also the permanent bruises on my legs from the car seat slamming into them might heal.

I get the joy of planning Jordan's first birthday party now too. I think there are going to be about 30 people invited so it should be great fun. Luckily less than half of those are children, so while our house will be packed full, hopefully the level of destruction won't be too bad. Another exciting thing that I'm preparing for is Halloween. Months before Jordan was even born, Justin and I decided that we were going to take him trick-or-treating this year, even though he's far too young to eat candy. This way, we get to eat all of it. Selfish? Yes. Do I care? NO.

So, Jordan is going as a little devil. It is the cutest costume I've ever seen. It's a little red outfit with black bat wings and black horns. No tail, but I think we'll survive. Ann and I decided that we are going to dress up this year too, because every Halloween we end up doing nothing and wishing we had. I'm going as a bad fairy and Ann will be a good fairy. Last night I finally got my entire costume together. It rocks!!! Now I just need to convince Justin to dress up. I think a vampire would be a nice easy costume that would coordinate nicely with Jordan and I. Plus, he always pretends that he's a vampire to scare me. (Yes, I do scare much too easily. I keep waiting to grow out of it, but so far, no such luck).
