Swimming lesson update
I think I should convince some stranger to take pictures of Jordan and I at the pool just so I can share a picture. Lately, the only picture you’d get is her screaming: “NO KICK! NO JUMP! NO WATER!” She loves the swim class for the first 15 minutes and then her mood changes. It…

I just got back from a whirlwind trip where I had a chance to meet with a bunch of companies in California. I had hoped to meet up with BethGo, but the schedule was packed. I barely slept. I did eat well (Cliff House, Brickhouse Cafe, Circolo) and I am feeling very inspired when it…

My girl Originally uploaded by NerdyMom Jordan enjoyed a long weekend with her Grandma and Poppy in town. Along with all kinds of attention, she got her hair trimmed a bit. It was only her second haircut ever!! We’ve seen an increased drive for independence — Yesterday Jordan threw her first SOLID tantrum in the…

I have been working a lot. A lot. When I walked into the house today, Jordan squealed with excitement. She scrambled up the stairs. She babbled to her heart’s delight. She missed me. I’ve been swamped at the beginning of a new semester – There has been a culmination of projects that need attention at…
Read More +Word explosion
Jordan talks. She doesn’t just talk, she has exploded with words. Everything she sees she days: “WHATSTHAT?” That’s the fast version of asking “what’s that?” If she knows what it is, she says, “yeah.” If she didn’t know what it was, she’ll repeat the word. In the last couple of days, she’ll walk up to…
Read More +In the holiday mood
We’re enjoying family time for the holidays — I’m doing my best not to hop online as much as I normally do. Jordan is getting better at saying words like Santa, Ho ho ho and tree. She’s also saying more sentences. REALLY fast sentences. I wanna eat that sounds like “Iwannaeatthat.” She’ll say it rapidly…

I always sing a lullaby to my kids at night. Each one has their own special lullaby. It really took me a while to get Jordan’s just right — But recently I think the lyrics are ready: Go to sleep and good nightMy sweet little JordanYou are my babyMy little babyAnd I love you head…
Read More +Family time!!
Jordan and the rest of the family just got back from spending time with Daddy’s side of the family. You can see the girl enjoyed playing with her Uncle. For someone who moved out of state, we sure have been lucky to see him so often. We also had a chance to spend with Jordan…
Read More +21 Months Old!
This has been a really big month for Jordan. She’s really becoming her own person and this month proved it. She’s turning into an independent, strong little girl. Some of her big changes this month included a TON of words and more understanding of my words. I can also talk a little bit of reason…
Read More +Sentences
I swear Jordan is going to speak full understandable sentences in the next few days. Every hour as she grows, it seems like her words are better, clearer… and prouder. This is so fun.
