Jordan is starting to eat for real. I give her one meal with a veggie or fruit in the morning mixed with cereal. At night, I’ve been giving her food to try and “self feed.” Yesterday I cut up chunks of avocado just to see what she’d do. Today, I put some apple chunks into…

I wish I had caught it on camera. But Jordan did an amazing thing in occupational therapy today. I plopped her down on the mat where we “play” and put a toy in her lap. It was kind of an oversized weeble-wobble. A smooth plastic toy that would bounce back up when you pushed it…

We got into First Steps today. After months and months of petitioning and asking and testing and convincing the state… Jordan was admitted today. I’m thrilled. I’m proud. And I’m so honored that so many doctors and therapists stood behind us to explain to the program why Jordan deserved the assistance and care. What does…

So, the last two nights have been strange. I kept waking up to Jordan crying. It was strange crying… Not her normal kind of cry. So I would get up and check on her and by the time I got to her room, she was already asleep. So last night I decided to just go…

We’re leaving today. I’m pretty bummed. Jordan has just loved it here. She sleeps well in her pack n’ play. She smiles at every tree and breeze. We took her to a beach that isn’t too far from the cabin. We hope to visit there more often… And maybe next year we’ll remember to bring…

Enjoying the outdoors Originally uploaded by Jen Reeves. We took it pretty easy the last 24 hours. Randy caught a strange 24 hour bug… Is much better today. So Jordan didn’t do much yesterday except amuse all of us and sleep in various rooms to keep her away from her dad’s germs. She is certainly…

Jordan woke up twice in the middle of the night. I can’t be sure it’s because she’s sleeping on a hard pack n’ play or because she’s teething or because she’s sleeping in a room with Cameron and he talks in his sleep (or whines in his sleep, you make the call)… Anyway. She woke…

Everytime the wind blows, Jordan giggles. She lets out this high pitched laugh. I love it. The wind blew in comfortable puffs today… And I guess it surprised Jordan from time to time and that made her giggle. We knew today could be one of the best days of the week, so we took her…

Jordan enjoys the outdoors… She always has. And her time in Maine proves once again, that she giggles in the wind and talks to the ocean. She’s full of smiles. Today she woke up, smiled with everyone in the cabin and took a MONSTER nap. After some time out on the rocks, she went shopping…
