Easter Egg Hunt 2012

With one Easter Egg hunt at church and a practice round at daycare under his belt, Jordan was no longer a

rookie egg hunter (2011)

like last year, but rather a

seasoned veteran (2012).

At Chamblee First United Methodist, they "hide" 10,000+ eggs and the kids scoop them all up in about 10 or 11 minutes. Jordan had his baseball Easter Basket and showed up this year ready to go. Daddy's goal for Jordan was 50 eggs (although he thought he was joking as we really expected maybe 20). When they said "GO" Jordan hunted and Nez held the basket for him. He couldn't hold it himself, as he had to hang on to Andy's keys with one hand the entire time. When it was all said and done, the final count was...

48 eggs!

So close to the goal. Just wait 'til next year...

Check out the video of the amazing Easter Egg hunter racking up all 48.

These eggs get heavy when you
find as many as I did

Round 2 Begins

Well, with the arrival of Santa this Christmas, Jordan has now begun experiencing holidays and such for the second time. Jordan met Santa on Christmas Eve at Perimeter Mall (nothing like waiting until the last possible minute and almost missing it).

Anyway, after we informed Santa of what we wanted, we had a wonderful Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa Crosby came up on Christmas morning and stayed for a few days. Jordan always loves playing with grandpa. Here, he is explaining the calendar he gave them to Grandma Mikki.

After spending Christmas Eve with Ross' parents, Lindy and Ross came over on Christmas morning to open presents and see Jordan. Does anyone know who just LOVES his Uncle Ross?

We all had a great Christmas dinner at Lindy and Ross' house with Kevin, Angela, Jodie, Jason, and Noah joining us.

Christmas was much different this year with a one-year-old than it was with a 2-week-old. Jordan really racked up on the toys this year from everyone. Although he enjoys the boxes more than what's inside.

We're thinking we are going to need to build a parking garage in the living room for all his vehicles: dump truck, convertible car, motorcycle, and fire truck. That doesn't count the insane number of smaller and/or non-vehicle toys the kid has.

Jordan had already started walking while pushing one of his toys or a dining room chair. But he is now beginning to take his first steps without holding on to anything. As of today, he has taken about 6 consecutive steps on his own.

He's officially Uncle Ross now

On October 8th, 2o11 Lindy and Ross got married at Tucker Plantation near Athens, GA.

Jordan enjoyed himself with Grandpa at the rehearsal the night before the big day.

At the wedding, Jordan showed off his tux to match Daddy's and enjoyed gnawing on his fingers.

Jordan had a great time at the reception until it got too late for the little man. We parked his stroller in the corner of the room. While everyone was dancing, talking, laughing and drinking, little man was catching some z's in the corner.

Of course one of the highlights of the night was Grandpa's "Father of the Bride" toast. Jordan was not only mentioned twice, but credited with being part of the inspiration for the speech. Grandpa read Fox in Sox by Dr. Seuss to a 2-week old Jordan last year.
