Jorja - 1 month old


I woke up Jesse this morning and asked him if he was ready to get up and play with momma, he replied, "No, momma, yay yay wake up play with Jorja". Well, my wish for Jorja, on her one-month birthday is that she will always remember how much her family loves her and that she and Jesse will always be great friends.

J&J's favorite things: (I will post this section with each J&J milestone)

Jesse - Age 2 1/2
Jesse loves playing with his dad at home, and at the park, when it's light & when it's dark. In the house, in the pool, anytime dad's not at school.... Jesse loves his dad "this much" and loves mom too, just a "little bit". His favorite sayings are "momma happy?" "yay yay good boy" "where is uncle Vie? Uncle Vie cut hand off?" "Yay Yay Snot Rod". Jesse is really good at saying Please, Thank you and Welcome and has learned how powerful Please is in a household of pushover parents. Jesse knows some of his colors: Red, Yellow, Orange, Blue and Black and can count to 6 (sometimes to 8). His favorite movies are Cars, Madagascar, Little Mermaid and Monsters, Inc. He also loves Sesame Street and likes to pretend he is cookie monster (monst); what a mess! Jesse likes to make cookies with Grandma Pete. He knows how to roll the dough and grandma Lydia taught him how yummy cookie dough is. Jesse likes to take naps and go to bed on momma's bed. We are currently trying to potty train Jesse by bribing him; needless to say, I ordered a potty training book yesterday since the toy we bought him a month ago is still in the window even though he knows full well it is his once he goes poo poo in the potty. Lastly, Jesse currently adores his little sister. He likes to give her kisses, hold her hand and talk to her in cutsey baby talk. The only conflict of interest we have had thus far is when baby J is laying on Jesse's blankies.

Jorja - Age 1 month
Jorja loves her momma, is enchanted by her big brother and is enamored with her daddy. She loves the soft pink blankets that grandma Pat made. She seems quite captivated by the flickering flames in the gas fireplace and the designs on our ceiling but she definitely has some angels that she is familiar with; my dad being one, evidenced by the staring contests she has with them. Jorja is definitely a cuddle bug and has quickly become spoiled; she would like to be held and rocked around the clock. Jorja drinks Enfamil Lipil and is supplemented by breast milk (yes, this is backwards and we are working on it). Lastly, Jorja thoroughly enjoys visiting with Grandma & pa Pete, Grandma Pat & Don, and Grandma Lydia & Grandpa Jess.
