Dear Jordan,

You are 6 months old and counting.  You are doing so many wonderful things now.  I call them tricks!!!  Some stuff you've been doing for a while, but now can do so much better.  You sit all by yourself for as long as you want.  You shake hands!!  It's hilarious and you love it.  Grandma Eugenia taught you how!  You give kisses...nice slobbery, passionate kisses on my face.  They are a little wet, but I LOVE them!!  You like to cuddle and smile...I love it!!!  You are eating all sorts of veggies and fruits.  La abuelita made you enough baby food for two months.  (pucherito:)  It's delicious...you'll have to share cause I love that stuff!!  It's all in the freezer in little bags!  She loves you very, very much!!!  You have a gazillion stuffed animals and we play with them every day.  We go to your room, set out a blanket and put all your stuffed animals there.  We sing about Manuelita, el elefante Trompita, we sing sabbath school songs, and anything that I can think off.
Here are the words to the ones you like the most:

Manuelita

Manuelita vivia en Peguajo, pero un dia se marcho.
Nadie sabe bien por que, a Paris ella se fue.
Un poquito caminando y otro poquitito a pie.

coro:
Manuelita, Manuelita, Manuelita donde vas,
Con tu traje de malaquita y tu paso tan audaz!!

En la peluquería de Paris, la pintaron con barniz,
La plancharon en frances, del derecho y del revés,
Le pusieron peluquita y botines en los pies.

Arrorró mi niño

Arrorró mi niño, arrorró mi sol,
Arrorró pedazo de mi corazón,

La loba, la loba, le compro al lobito,
Un saco de lana y un gorro bonito,
La loba, la loba, vendra por aqui,
Si el picaro sueno no quiere venir.

A Great big Lion (from sabbath school)

A great big lion to play with, a great big lion there'll be,
A great big lion to play with and I won't be afraid of him.

Heaven

Heaven, heaven, heaven is a special place
Heaven, heaven, I want to go there.

There's a million songs that we sing.  But the first two, we sing all the time, the last two were the first sabbath school songs we sang to you.  You love to sing when we sing.  It's hilarious.  You start oohing and ahhhing and it's really cute.

Your favorite toys at the moment are the phone and the remote.  You LOVE the phone.  I can't talk in peace, ever!  When we give you the phone you are listening intently, like if you understood everything.

Life is so much more fun with you in our family.  Daddy can't wait to get home from work to play with you.  When he gets home you just want to be with him.  You ignore me a little, but I love to see you both play together.

You also love bath time.  Two days ago, you learned how to splash.  We've been working on this for a little over a month, but on Sunday, you splashed a little, liked it, and then tried it some more.  Then when you got one hand down, you tried it with the other.  Then together.  It was so cute.  We were so excited for you!!  (the kitchen got a little wet...but ohhh well!!  :)

Ok...better go get more stuff done while you are still napping!!

love you!
