I got back from China and went straight to work with Jordan! I met up with her occupational therapist to finally show her how Jordan’s new prosthetic works. It was incredible to watch how Jordan took to naturally using the “hand” after we convinced her to work on it. (She was a little stubborn since [...]

Strong opinions. WOW. They’re strong.
July 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Eating, July08, Prosthetic, Swimming, jordan
We’ve been out to eat a little more than usual. With all of our traveling, Jordan has figured out the process it takes to eat food at a restaurant. Lately, she takes charge when the waitress asks us for an order. My in-laws were in town to spend time with the girl and take the [...]

A happy Easter
March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · Easter, Eating, March08, jordan
Jordan enjoyed her third Easter… And she was able to participate in it more than ever before. She put up with my attempts to pose the kids for Easter in their pretty outfits. She put up with my need to put them through an egg hunt. She enjoyed eating a bunch of sugar — Although [...]

We’ve continued this non-stop vacation with non-stop trips. After visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens yesterday, we took the kids to eat at one of the best diners in the country: Moody’s Diner. We got their famous 4-berry pie. We even bought a slice for Jordan She’ll eat it ONLY if disguised in vanilla ice [...]

Not bad at this travel thing
July 12th, 2007 · No Comments · 2007, Eating, July07, Moblog, Vacation07, jordan
Jordan is taking her second nap of the day in a very long multi-state drive. She's come across two challenges: not getting every toy she wants and not being able to pick up things she dropped to her left. Gross moment of the day: I gave her a chocolate chip granola bar. I look over [...]

Maybe popcorn is the answer

I watched an amazing thing happen yesterday. My daughter gorged on popcorn. She’s didn’t just eat a lot… She ate so much that I had to leave the movie to refill the popcorn tub. We took the family to see Ratatouille. It’s a really sweet movie… But I don’t really think it’s the kind of [...]

Ahhhh. The weekend.
June 22nd, 2007 · 1 Comment · 2007, Eating, June07, Little Arm, Poop, jordan
Thank goodness it’s the weekend! It’s been a long one for some reason. Miss Jordan’s grandparents are here to spend some time with us. Thank goodness they were here — I needed to get Jordan into the doctor since her gross and unexplainable diaper issues continue to wreak havoc on her bottom and clothing. I [...]

Weekend dancing

I was sitting at the dinner table with the kids on Sunday. We were listening to music off of my computer when this ROCKING song from the Bottle Rockets came on. Cam started dancing in his seat and not eating. So I told him that if he ate a couple of bites, I would stop [...]

Wow. Things change fast

I got stuck at work late today because we finally launched the new and improved KOMU.com! (hooray!) So my in-laws got to be there with Jordan when our PT worked with her. Miss Jordan “walked” for an entire 30 minutes. Up and down the driveway, along the little walkway. She just wanted to go, go, [...]

Classic weekend

Although daddy wasn’t around this weekend, I have to say we had a really good time. It was one of those weekends where I focused so deeply on the kids, that I didn’t even think of finding the camera. I pulled out the camera phone a couple of times. We were outside or doing something [...]

Can someone turn down the volume?
February 27th, 2007 · No Comments · 2007, Eating, February07, Screaming, Sick, Talking, jordan
Jordan needs more words. She desperately needs more words. She was doing pretty well with her sign language, but her hands can’t demand a toy, item or food as well as screaming. It’s high pitched, loud and mind bending. I’m usually pretty patient about this kind of stuff. But tonight I took her out of [...]

Yesterday Jordan’s sixth tooth arrived after all that hard work. Thank goodness. This morning we had fun with breakfast. I enjoyed taking pictures of her and I decided to capture just a normal moment with my girl in video. We giggled at each other while she popped Cheerios and threw her sippy cup on a [...]

Mood swings

Something is going on with Jordan. Today she wouldn’t eat anything at school except a blueberry muffin and baby food… She wouldn’t eat table food at lunch time. Every time a baby in the room drank a bottle, she wanted one. She desperately needs to get out of the baby room. She’s reverting and doesn’t [...]

Four teeth!

It’s official. When I walked into school to pick up Jordan today, her teacher was proud to announce the arrival of Jordan’s fourth tooth. Very exciting. SO I gave her a dinner that’s fit for a four tooth chewer — and she took bites out of her peas and beans and pasta. She didn’t eat [...]

She can eat cake!
December 30th, 2006 · No Comments · Birthday06, Chocolate, December06, Eating, FirstBirthday, Messy, jordan
Birthday Cake!!! Originally uploaded by Jen Reeves. It took a little extra effort, but today Jordan ate her birthday cake. She wasn’t interested at first. She was exhausted from all of the fun gift opening. (Her favorite gift: a bucket of blocks) So I sat Jordan into my lap and started eating my own slice. [...]
