Another rash
A day “airing out” Jordan’s little arm didn’t really help get rid of her heat rash. So I put some cream on it before bed time and I hope it helps. I’ve been obsessively cleaning the prosthetic, so I know that’s not the reason behind her rash this time around. The day ended with Jordan…
Read More +Words, words and more words
Jordan’s words came spilling out this past weekend. Now she’s trying very hard to copy things I say and she’s saying things more and more. Yesterday she said hi to a teacher and actually said something that sounded like her name… And as I commented on her flowers, Jordan said: Flawwww. Here’s a cute moment…
Read More +More family time
Jordan got to hang out with all of us this weekend… Along with Grandma Lee! As a part of her visit, Jordan started using more words again: “hi,” “dada,” “bubba,” “dudley,” “dog,” “duck,” and “night night.” Big fat sweet moment: I was rocking her in my arms just before I put her down into her…

Times change
As Jordan and I got our day rolling this morning, I had a knock on the door. Crews were here to clear some branches so the power company could tighten our power lines (it was droopy in the backyard… and as Cam gets older, the scarier that droopy line seemed). I showed the crew a…

I’ve been a bit down today… So it’s great to know I have my kids to bring in the smiles. I let Jordan take a big long morning nap before heading to work today. She decided to try and play with head bands that are too big for her head… and just slightly too small…

Read More +Outside fun
Scooting through the chalk art Originally uploaded by Jen. We are slowly getting outside again as the ice and snow melts and the sun is out longer. Jordan came out to enjoy the cold pavement and chalk with her brother and I. She didn’t do a lot of drawing, but she did seem to enjoy…
Read More +Family weekend
Jordan got to spend the weekend with her Grandma and Poppy… While I judged contest entries all day on Saturday. It was an honor to be a part of the judging process, but MAN did it take a long time. I missed a whole day with the family. But here’s the moment every Mom wants.…
Read More +Three days in a row
It’s like this blog has taken a fast turn into the negative about Jordan’s world. I don’t mean to do that. But here’s the latest news: She has bitten a child at school three days in a row. I think she’s aggravated. I feel bad for her and her hand biting victims. This is a…
