Posing for Mommy

So Jordan is starting to settle into a sleep pattern when she’s at home. When she first wakes up, she eats and then goes back to sleep. She takes a nap for one or two hours (today she slept for 3) then gets a chance to eat again. This morning after her first nap, I…

Teeth? Are they coming?

Jordan has been painfully chewing on things. She chews so hard, she makes faces like she’s in pain. And I’ve been the victim of some pretty hard chews as well. I took her to the station yesterday to see many reporters and producers who have been begging to see the kids. Poor Jordan was tired…

Showing off the girl

So my old friend Dan came into town. I was his RA at Syracuse. Anyway. He drove out into town to visit us for lunch. He happened to be visiting his family in the state, so he didn’t have to drive far. I hadn’t seen him in person in quite a while. Anyway, I kept…

She's not a "baby baby" anymore

Eating outside Originally uploaded by Jen. I came to this realization just a few days ago. Jordan isn’t a little baby… She’s an interactive baby. She’s becoming a person. She’s not just a baby anymore. One of her teachers at school coined it today. She just isn’t a “baby baby” anymore. And I’m kind of…

Time to myself

After some more time with my aunt and uncle, I actually got out of the house to see a movie with a friend who had a birthday today. It was nice to leave for a little while and do something on my own. In the meantime, Randy probably had enough time with the kids. He…

Being sweet

My girl loves showing off how she can be sweet. She took a pile of naps and in between her sleep, she smiled and shook her head and did all kinds of things to show how sweet she is. It’s awesome to watch her interact with Aunt Jan and Uncle Chuck. She’s still obviously dealing…

Cool meeting

Today Jordan and Cameron had a chance to meet a really cool little girl who has a similar congenital amputation like Jordan. It was so great to see her do everything I know Jordan can and will do. It was so cool to see Cam hang out with her and never once needed to ask…

Lamb blankie is here!

We never found the original blanket, but the two I ordered on Sunday are here. I’m so happy. I grabbed one and gave it to Jordan immediately. I threw the other one into the laundry so she can love that one when she gets home. So she’s alseep and happy. She was doing okay without…

Pretty nails

Happy with a pedicure! Originally uploaded by Jen Reeves. When I picked up Jordan from school today, she was sporting her first pedicure. She’s wearing a very pretty pink. It was very cute. Her teacher was concerned I’d be unhappy with her new artistic nails. I don’t mind at all. I think the last time…

Food

Solids seem to be throwing me for a loop. Jordan doesn’t seem to be drinking as much milk as she used to… Or she’s getting REALLY efficient when I feed her. It used to take about 15 to 20 minutes and now it only takes 10. I’m fretting that she isn’t eatin enough. Randy thinks…
