Working out at the gymn!

Mystery location! Go on guess and leave a comment!

Captions!

2006-05-18T17:19:00.000+01:00

This week I started to smile a lot more and even attempted some baby babble - somehow daddy thinks he understands it - yeah right! He must of understood skippy the kangaroo and flipper the dolphin too!

Where are my legs?

Its ok - found them tucked up into chest later - panic over!

Who switched out the lights! Finally got over my cold - look clear airways and nose as clear as can be!

I think this bed might be a little big yet!

Daddy put up my nice gift from Dave and Cara to allow me mark my age against my height as I grow up - cool or what! (don't strain your eyes to see the current mark - I'm only 61/2 weeks old and can't stand yet!)

Not including the clothes in my drawers I have more than mummy! (We hope!)

Went to youthclub BBQ with Daddy and all the girls were all over me - long may it continue!
Also went to see the motorbikes at the Northwest last weekend with daddy and it was cool!
Staying home this weekend for a quiet one though! See you all later, Josh!

Ginger?????

2006-05-09T21:13:00.000+01:00

Hi All of you regular bloggers out there! Sorry its been so long but I've been busy!

Thought I'd start today with a quick pose! Met a good lookin gal at church creche on Sunday morning so I hope she sees this!

Daddy thinks my hair looks ginger in this photo! Mummy and Auntie Carol have been buying me hats lately so it must be true!

This is me doing the Riverdance! (Josh Flatulance Feet being my stage name!)
This is actually the first and only time I have had shoes on as when these are the smallest shoes of my eleven pairs and when I had them on they were so big and bobo the clown looking on me that mummy and daddy nearly needed one of my pampers they laughed so hard!

This is daddy taking me for a walk in my chest carrier! It is definitely a lot more comfortable to be in when mummy wears it as then I don't headbutt daddys chest.

Claim to fame or what!

Being fed by the one and only "Uncle Andy". Now "give my head peace" about it.

Some other family members:
Aunties: Jill, Lauren and Emma

Granny and Granpa Jordan babysat me on Friday night past! I was a s good as gold for them while mummy and daddy were out wining and dining. Got my own back by keeping them up most of the night - serves them right for abandoning me!

Also had a visit from the Strabanites!

Auntie Monica, Geraldine, Catriona and Joseph

They brought me a lovely gift and I loved their company!

Thats me for now! Check me out at the weekend as this will be my first Northwest 200 and I can't wait to go on Saturday! Yee Ha!!

Lovin it lovin it Lovin it!

2006-04-27T21:45:00.000+01:00

Hi guys and gals! Joshi boy here! Livinit Large!

I learnt to RAVE this week! Check out the arm moves!

Lovin it!

Lovin it!

Lovin it!

Large! Middle name should have SCOOTER not COOPER!

Also went to beach with my mate Andrew - he got to go on his dads ski as he is two years older than me! I had to stay in my pram and watch daddy jump the waves like a girl! I could have done better and I'm only 3 1/2 Weeks old!

What Happened Week2

2006-04-17T10:53:00.000+01:00

This is my friend Nikolas - he is two years old and a really big fan of GreenDay! He knows all the words of their songs - he came to visit me with his mummy and daddy and brought lovely gifts! He only has two arms really - the extra arm in the photo belongs to his mum!

I went to church this week with mummy and daddy! I slept through it all and the Pastor offered daddy some more sermons on the way out to help me sleep at home!

Don't I look good in a nappy!

And without one!

I really like the bath - and check out the muscles in my left arm!

What else did I do this week :-

I had lots of visitors who have brought loads of lovely gifts!
I met my Uncle Tom and Aunty Valerie for the first!
I had Sunday Roast Milk at Granny Aickens!
I went shopping to Abbey centre and TK Maxx
I spoke to cousin Aidan who is really old (nearly 4 months!) who lives in America!
I got measured by the health visitor who told me I had shrunk! Yeah Right - Shrinking Babies!
I filled many many Nappies and learned how loud I can go to get my parents attention!

A big Hello to Cynthia and all the Farrells who left me a comment on my blog! You guys also live far away in San Francisco - but I'm really looking to meeting you when I'm over there!

Looking forward to week 3!

I love reading your comments so keep it up!

At last - some photos!

2006-04-08T19:15:00.000+01:00

The trick is to resize the photos to get them on to the blog! (thanks Julie for watching Tracey do what I had been doing!)

Josh when he was Brand New!

Josh Weighs in at 7lb 10Oz

Josh and his wee mate rabbit!

Josh prepares for a snoe storm!

Josh officially has more shoes than his dad (and mum!)

A giant thankyou to my great great uncle Pat and his wife Winnie for their lovely card and gift all the way from Mountainview California (no idea where this is but I'm sure its far away - even the TV is far away for a baby who can't walk or crawl). I look forward to meeting you guys when I'm on my holidays!

I am Home!

2006-04-05T23:14:00.000+01:00

Daddy came and picked me and mummy up from the baby hotel to go to a place called home yesterday. I had to sit in the car facing the wrong way while everyone else looked forward out the windows. Daddy after his weeks of practise even got the seat in right – (for the first time and with me in it).

Granny Jordan brought me nice gifts today! - for my 0th Birthday apparently! Think I’m on to a good thing with her! Had the hiccups three times today – at times when I was trying to drift off to sleep – when they came they woke and startled me causing daddy to laugh.

How cool too is Dermos mum – met her when we visited our homegroup and she checks out my Blog! I'll have to thank the ladies of our homegroup - they are especially nice and are making dinner for mummy and daddy for the next few days so the they can spend time staring at me in pleased amazement.

Christian Hyvart introduced himself to me on my blog. He is two weeks older than me and must be as advanced as me to be on the internet so soon. I quite fancy sharing those toys and a trip the McAuley House playground as so far I have only left our house once! I'll have to get your e-mail address Christian next time you are on. (mine is joshuacooperjordan AT hotmail.co.uk)

I'm off to sleep - then poop - then feed as usual. Mummy and daddy call me their little miracle and tell me that they thank God for me. Daddy was even pleased to hear me crying when he got home tonight - can't use that one on them then to get my way!

Sorry no photos - blogger not allowing at the minute!

My Name is Josh!

2006-04-05T00:18:00.000+01:00

Hi Everyone!

My Name is Josh, I am two days old and I'm 55cm long (would be tall if I could stand).

Mum is great so far although she has been calling me trev at times - think pregnancy has affected her memory as from what I'm told he is my dad! My Gran Aicken too is great but she's been calling me Aiden (no excuse for her I'm afraid!).

Anyway today I started bottle feeding and I'm a lot happier - don't like breasts at the moment although daddyy assures me I will when I get older. For now its the bottle for me - question though - does that stuff come in strawberry or any orher flavours?

Today I did a massive nappy filler while on dads knee - even managed the sound effects. Wish I hadn't pushed so hard though as it leaked out the sides of my nappy and even I struggled to breathe! And when mum changed my nappy I thought I'd soak her with this little water pistol - plan backfired though and I ended up with wee in my own ear! Good fun though!

Hoping to get checked out of this baby hotel on Wednesday if I feed well enough. Daddy tells me he has a room prepared for me with a cot and toys at hotel Jordan. Looking forward to meeting the other dudes (Andrew, Luke, Reuben and Isaac). I'm told theres two new girls in town too!

I have put on some photos of myself - "Handsome wee fella"I'm told but my eyes haven't adjusted in yet to see myself.

See you all soon - Love Josh

Baby Dermo!

2006-04-03T01:28:00.000+01:00

Baby Josh Really, sorry Dermo!

Finaly at 7:07 pm on the 02/04/06 Josh (Joshua Cooper Jordan) popped out weighing in at 7lbs and 10Ozs. After being Induced 35 hours ago, huffing and puffing until the epidural kicked in, in the 28th hour (causing Kim to fall asleep but yet steadily keep up the contractions), and little tug with a vacuum out he came with a pop. He had wanted to come out the entire way with his head sideways but when Kim was told he may be stuck and they were heading for theatre, out of the blue another few pushes came to push him on through! (although he looks a bit like homer simpsons wife marge from the back).

Anyway he is here safely and we thank everyone for their support and prayer over the last 13months! I have enclosed a little photo taken on my phone but I will put some more photos up later.

Trev, Kim and Josh

BABY "J" HURRY UP!

2006-03-30T23:37:00.000+01:00

Odd day today. Kim went for check up and they decided to keep her in in due to high blood pressure! They even talked of inducing her tonight or tomorrow - the excitement nearly proved to be brown. But then by the time they found Kim a bed for the night her blood pressure had settled (which is a good thing of course) the panic was over.

They are keeping her for observation tonight, which means A DECENT NIGHTS SLEEP FOR ME AND THE BED TO MYSELF!

The bad thing is if the check up had been routine they would have given us a date to be induced and we now feel cheated.

Due date come and gone!

2006-03-27T22:03:00.000+01:00

You spend the first half of pregnancy counting "how many weeks preganant you are" you then spend the second half counting down how many weeks to go. No one tells you that there is usually a third sector " how many days overdue the baby is!" We are now entering this third sector after having been focused on our due date "27th March" for the past 40weeks. Kim did however have a single contraction (we think ) this morning about 6am - which did get me excited - but when we went to count the time between contractions - the second one just never came and we went back to sleep.

Will keep you posted of any developments!

Trev and Kim Blog on!

2006-03-25T10:53:00.000Z

Hello all, with Kim now only two days away from the due date of our first baby I though it was time we had our own blog. This will aloow us to keep you all up to date on any developments and when the baby arrives we can post our baby photos. (It should also save us from e-mailing photos to Kims little sis in the states).

The photo shows us on holiday at lake Tahoe last year before we made the baby. Notice how relaxed and refreshed we look. We will put an updated photo on after the baby arrives to show the effects of sleep deprivation.
