Jordan and I spent the day in a class and meetings on campus. Jordan had many little naps… nothing big. When we got home, she was pooped. We’ll see how it goes when she decides to wake up in the morning. She went down at 5:45pm… I’ll guess I’ll be up at 4:45 at the…

I got home from the long weekend of basketball and found a message on our voicemail from a well-known pediatric PT expert in town. She gave me wonderful tips on how to get Jordan covered under a state program that would really help us get her the therapy she needs without as many insurance struggles.…

I went shopping today. I try not to because I know I’m going to spend money that I don’t have. But I really wanted to see what kind of bows the stores had to offer here. So I discovered a store with a bunch of bows. And I had to get some. Luckily, my mother-in-law…

So we’re staying at the brother-in-law’s house to enjoy the basketball tournament… And that means we’re testing the sleep ability of Jordan. Cam never slept well in other houses when he moved into the long-stretch of sleep phase of his baby-hood. So now we’ll see how the girl does. She did not like going to…

It took almost 11 weeks, but today a stranger walked up to me and told me I have a beautiful daughter. I have known this all along. But it was special to hear it from someone who wasn’t provoked or even asked to say something to me. I was sitting having lunch with a friend…

So I realized a couple weeks ago that Jordan wasn’t picking up on bottles… And time is running out. Yesterday, I gave two of her feedings with a bottle. She wasn’t really happy about it. Actually, she was really mad. But eventually after I changed the bottle type, things improved. So I thought I’d go…

Jordan has started this new squeal when she’s upset… I swear it sounds like a cat in heat. It’s this high pitched squeal that sounds like death. She usually uses the sound when she’s uncomfortable or getting really tired and can’t relax quick enough. Whatever it means, it’s a creepy sound. I’m hoping it phases…

Jordan got to meet folks the university’s pediatric occupational therapy clinic today. She was so good. She had just waken up from her nap, had to be hungry… And yet she smiled and cooed and let the therapists bend her and analyze her without much of a fuss at all until we got to the…

I don’t know why, but Jordan didn’t smile much today. Every once and a while we had a grin, but she just wanted to be held by Randy and I. I tried to let her Daddy take care of her more. I’ve noticed she calms to fast with me and really not with anyone else.…
