Wow! October was a very full month for Jordan! It began in San Francisco for Fleet Week and Pier 39, followed by a picnic with our Las Madres playgroup friends. You will be able to tell, based on his outfits, that we had weather in the 90's followed by cold days and several inches of rain. Jordan met a new friend, Caden King, who is two months old. Great Auntie Jan stopped by for a wonderful visit and Jordan received too many kisses to count. We had the Las Madres friends over on a rainy day and shared our pumpkins with them, and also invited neighborhood kids over for pumpkins. And then there was Halloween itself. We took a ridiculous number of pictures of Jordan in his costume at different times, so click here for the full gallery of Jordan the Giraffe!

He is now 8 months old and loves to rock back and forth on his hands and knees (but doesn't go anywhere aside from the occasional scoot backwards), but his favorite thing to do is STAND! He can't get up on his own and has no sense of gravity, but while he's up, he's in heaven! It's almost time to baby-proof the house -- we expect forward motion any day now.
