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 5-21-11

Friends, Family, Prayer Warriors,

The twins continue to grow and thrive, and each day presents amazing (and sometimes difficult!) developments for us as we watch the world through their eyes.

Bluebonnet season in Texas was pretty dull this year; without a good spring rain season, the crop was pretty non-existent because of the lack of proper precipitation. But through the magic and technology of Photoshop (thanks, Grandma Susu!) we were able to have a good picture of the kids sitting in a plentiful field of Texas Bluebonnets for the first time!
















Hopefully the next few seasons will be better and we can continue this favorite southern tradition!

The kids' first Easter as toddlers and ability to physically interact with their surroundings was also a memorable time; they kids weren't quite old enough yet to go running around Easter egg hunting, but we all went up to Great Aunt Kathy and Great Uncle Corky's house in Brenham to celebrate. It was a good time for all, and the kids did get into the spirit of the holiday:




























We even got a great family photo of all of us upon our return to Katy before the sun went down!
















And now the 411 on the babies' individual progress...

As of the last doctor's checkup on 4/25/11:

Jacob - 18 lbs., 1.6 oz. , 28.58 in. long
Jordan - 17 lbs., 13.4 oz., 27.36 in. long

Jacob has officially mastered walking and is practically running everywhere. His face lights up and he screeches with delight as he turns every corner, looking for a new place to explore and get into.

Jordan is still crawling, but has improved her standing and now is walking along things; she uses objects to move along. Once she figures out how stand unassisted and move those legs, it's off to the races with her brother!

Also, both kids have their top and bottom front teeth in, and to see them smile, grin, laugh and baby jabber, is a wonderful experience!

Another thing to mention, is both kids are now exploring things via climbing onto them. Recently we were able to capture Jordan exploring the small cubby hole in the entertainment center, and then the half-full toy bucket! See below!





















































As you can see, with the current and future developments, we definitely have our hands full! We also have a great deal to be thankful for with them, and we truly love each day we get to experience something new with them!


We hope everyone is having a great year in 2011! 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)
