Wow. Could you get some words please?

We’re soundly in the phase where my girl needs more words. She has taken to screaming a lot since I got back into town. Really painful screaming. I’m using words back with her, asking her to use the few signs that she knows… But she will fall into a ball of tears and an on-the-floor…

As I had mentioned earlier this week… I didn’t take many pictures of the kids over the weekend. But this one makes me proud. She stood up at the door all by herself. She wanted to watch her brother while I cooked dinner. It’s sweet because she chanted: “Dog! Dog!” And “Bubba! Bubba!” Who knows…

Today, I plopped her down on multiple different spots and she would stand there… Even the chairs in the kitchen. It’s very exciting. During our therapy today, we’ve decided that Jordan needs to wear…

Talking up a storm

Matching girls Originally uploaded by Jen Reeves. Jordan is picking up words by the minute. Tonight she told her Daddy: “Night night.” Her vocal cadence repeats some of my sentences. And she’s catching a little temper. If she wants Mommy cuddles and I put her down, she is not afraid to throw herself onto the…

Breaking news

When Randy and I weren’t looking, Jordan pulled up into standing all by herself onto a big block toy. This is a picture of the toy. I bought it for Cam when he was little… And he never really took a serious liking to it. But Jordan digs it… And here’s a funny thing: Cameron…
