11 Months Old

We’re only a month away from Jordan turning one. It floors me. Today I had to run around doing way too many things… So I didn’t get to spend enough time with Jordan on her big 11 month old birthday. But I did catch her happy this morning as I got her ready for a…

For the very first time, Jordan sat up all by herself. She was playing on the floor in the “man cave” when she tried to sit up… Failed and continued to play on the floor. Moments later, she tried again… And DID IT!!!!! Her Grandma and Poppy were in the room at the time as…

More time in the leaves

45 Weeks Old Originally uploaded by NerdyMom. I found time to get Jordan out into the leaves on a beautiful day. Awesome. Jordan is getting better and better at saying “uh oh” and lately she’s starting to say: “Bye!” She’s happy to move around on her butt, but I’m still working on getting her to…
