Finally, a little video

I know. She’s been walking for 3 weeks and I haven’t captured the right moment on video. So while the kids and I were sweating it out at the local gardens near our house, I shot a little video of Jordan walking. It was WAY too hot to put her into her myoelectric arm for…

It's back

Jordan’s prosthetic is back and she’ll be able to start wearing it again tomorrow. She will be the proud owner of a prosthetic with a new glove! The “skin” is clean again! Miss Jordan is walking better than ever. It’s pretty exciting. But her tummy isn’t improving. The BRAT diet only led to a really…

Battery failure

Jordan’s battery on her prosthetic just flat out failed. So it should be back home by tomorrow for her using enjoyment again. She has been pretty uninterested in using the passive prosthetic. It isn’t heavy and she can move it around more… But she’s been pretty off balance using it. I guess I didn’t realize…

Woot!

I rebuilt the page. I think it’s kind of cool. I’ll keep working on it… But it seemed silly that I hadn’t built my own blog header. Yeehaw.

Uncle Barry time

We just got back from visiting with Uncle Barry. Jordan had a ton of fun smiling and playing and watching all of the dogs barking in the neighborhood. A couple of funny stories during the trip:About ten minutes into the visit, I went outside to get the diapers and bags out of the car. I…

Two different schools

I’m trying to get my brain around the concept that Jordan will be my only child in daycare. She’s going to move up to the “other side” of the building in a month or two. That alone is more proof that my “baby” is growing up. Logically, I know she’s a toddler. I know she…

She's full of waves

The girl stayed up late tonight and went to Cam’s big t-ball game. She is so happy to just play around the grass, rocks and pull all the stuff out of her diaper bag. Her hair is growing and the longer it gets, it just gets wilder. CRAZY. I have no clue what to do…

A fun day at the park

We spent the day at an event called Art in the Park. We got to see cool art, eat yummy food and watch the kids play. The best part for Jordan was a huge sand area to play. She was almost swimming in it. She was a mess and I didn’t care. We had a…

Could I be leading my girl astray?

For the first time in my 17-month-old’s life, I let her watch almost an entire hour of Sesame Street. She sat on my lap while the whole family gathered in our bed. She kept pointing and saying “baby!” The theme was about babies and what it’s like being an older sibling. Cam was even engaged.…
