Meet the Cordova Twins

The Cordova Twins:

Jordan (pronounced JOR-den, in Biblical & English derived from (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". It is also the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist).

Jacob (pronounced JAY-kep, in English and Biblical means "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", and (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel)

Jacob & Jordan Update 11-6-10

Friends, Family, Prayer Warriors:

2010 quickly approaches to a close with the holidays near, and the Cordova family is very much looking forward to enjoying time with friends and family for the twins 1st Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year festivities! It's a time of reflection, celebration, and thanks, and although our family, friends and our world has each had its own unique struggles, difficulties and trials, we continue to give thanks to the Lord Almighty for each blessing He bestows upon us and ask him to be beside us, and behind us as we overcome our obstacles, whatever they may be.

The kids have been progressing and growing by leaps and bounds; Jacob is slowly learning to crawl; it takes him a little bit to traverse his path, but in the end, he manages to arrive at his destination with a hearty grin and giggle. He also is growing a decent amount of peach fuzz on his head (no more bald-headed Jacob for this kid), which we are excited about; and with the cooler days we have observed recently, we want him to have as much natural protection as possible!

Jordan has learned to roll over both ways and is beginning to teach herself how to draw her legs up in the beginning stages of crawling. Where she distinguishes herself from her brother in development is her voice. While Jacob still coos, grunts and grins, Jordan has been projecting her voice to whoever will listen, smiling all the way. And her babblings are more toward the "ga ga goo goo", "ba ma" and "ma ma" phrases. I haven't heard Jordan say "Mama" to where it is distinguishable yet, but Sheri swears up and down that she has. Oh, and Jacob (not sure where he learned this) has now begun to shake his head back and forth, regardless of what he is doing. Whether on the floor trying to crawl, or someone holding him as he stands up, he shakes his head and just smiles the biggest smile! (I even took a video clip of that so you all could see, so cute):









Also, here is a clip of the kids gettin' in some floor time...







The kids also had a recent trip to the doctor for routine check ups; here is their latest stats:

Jacob - 15 lbs. 5.8 oz, 2 ft. 1.79 in. tall, head 16.732 in.
Jordan - 13 lbs. 13.17 oz, 2 ft. 1.08 in tall, head 15.945 in.

As you can see, we have much to be thankful for. We pray that our friends, family and all those that diligently visit this site to have a safe, prosperous and blessed holiday season.

Please pray for continued success for all!

Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports as soon as I can spare another minute! May the good Lord bless and protect us all.



Kind regards,

The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
