Our little nugget turned 10 months old yesterday. He seems so new, and yet it feels like he's been in our family forever. What you've missed from Team Wieck.....
Justin's team the Jamestown Jimmies had their first two games. They won BOTH!!! We are accustomed to home openers being exhibition that are a little less of a test, but we played a TOUGH team from Canada. Grandma Karna and Grandpa Jeff came up for the weekend to watch the Sathers came up for Fridays game. It was so nice having family there!!! I was worried about Jordy would do at the games because he's so mobile and curious but he actually sat and watched! He was GREAT!
A few pics from the Head Coach's first WINS!!!!!!
Looking a little anxious pre-game
Jordy snuggling with Grandpa before the games. He was SO awesome

Justin's mom and dad. Very proud after the win!
Then
the Jimmies hit the road and played the #4 and #7 ranked teams. For a
YOUNG team we played REALLY well and kept it close in the first half,
but lost both. So now we are 2-2 with a home game tonight and away game
tomorrow! Hopefully on Sunday we'll be 4-2!!!!!!!
Then, we MOVED into our house!!!! Why do I NOT have pictures yet?! Here are two of a little helper:
And of course came Halloween! Jordy HATES hats or anything on his head so it was a challenge finding a cute baby costume that didn't include anything on his head. I found this online and it was soooooooo cute and his cousin Owen had the same costume!!! Here is Superman!
Finally getting a little braver with Jordy trying more finger foods. So far he has LOVED everything. Here is the little guy trying blueberries for the first time:
Other than that, we are adjusting to our new schedules and lives in Jamestown. Justin typically works 8 am - 7 pm every weekday, then he comes home and puts the baby to bed (on nights when he isn't monitoring team study hall) and when Jordy and I go to bed he calls recruits and/or watches film (of other teams or our own games). Weekends are filled up, too, with either games, going recruiting, hosting recruits, practices and staff meetings. We were fairly warned but you still have no idea the time commitment of being a head coach until you are actually living it. He is also teaching a class at the college 3 days a week. We will miss him at Thanksgiving (and our high school reunion!) this year as the Jimmies are playing in Montana, but we will celebrate when he gets home with our basketball family. I feel so lucky and blessed to have such a hard working husband who loves his job so much. But needless to say, the unpacking is SLOW going :)
So here is an update on Jordy, since he is growing SO fast!!!
Diaper Size: 4. OH MY GOSH!
Clothes Size: 12 months or 18 months. Seriously.
Sleeping: Good Lord I am a NEW Woman!!! We decided the move into the new house was the time to start sleep training. It was perfect timing since he is somewhat old enough to understand that we don't leave him FOREVER and he is currently NOT cutting teeth. I knew that we weren't doing him any favors letting him use us as a crutch to fall asleep (it was a long 9 months of rocking and shushing!). I really want him to have the skills to fall asleep by himself when he can. So night #1 we put him down in his crib, drowsy yet awake, and that little stinker SCREAMED and CRIED for 55 minutes. Luckily we have a white noise machine and our rooms are further apart than we've ever had. Justin slept like a rock right through it!!! Night #2, he cried for 30 minutes. Night #3, he cried for 10 minutes. Now it is 10 minutes or sometimes even less or just a little whimper and he is sleeping 11 hours! We do the same routine for naps. We are ALL 3 SLEEPING BETTER!
Eating: He is still drinking formula and eating purees (I love that he has fruits and veggies every day), but more and more eating finger foods. He's had noodles, waffles, blueberries, green beans, cheese, meat, scrambled eggs. This kid will eat anything. He still loves puffs and yogurt bites for snacks.
Accomplishments:
-A WALKING BABY!!! Jordy started walking around 9ish months, but still preferred to crawl. Now he walks EVERYWHERE!
-Says "mama" and "dada" to the right person! Says "hi" and "mmm" for milk!!! The dr. said we are going to have an early talker.
-Responds and walks over when you say "Come here Jordy"
-Makes kissing noise when you blow kisses at him
-Waves bye-bye (sometimes)
-Shakes his head "no" when you tell him "no". He OBVIOUSLY doesn't quite understand the meaning of this word yet though!
Well, until next time!
It's fun being 10 months old~
Getting into everything :)
