Born Just Right

Jordan had her four year old check up — And she was a trooper. Three vaccinations and all kinds of fun showing off what a big girl she is (once she got over the shots).
The result? She’s 30th percentile in weight and 65th percentile in height. I wish I could say that about myself!!

I follow a bunch of bloggers… And one mom, Heidi, who writes at God’s Grace in Practice brought up a wonderful thing. She talked about how she

I did it. I posted Jordan’s crib and dresser on Craigslist so we can officially sell it and move the girl into her new bedroom.
It feels so official. We’re moving away from baby-land and I’m a little sad.

Jordan discovered her brother’s digital camera (don’t tell him) while she was in the newsroom yesterday. She ran all over the place taking pictures. It was SO classic. It took her about four or five pictures when she figured out the whole process. She actually took my picture while I took her picture.

We’re enjoying our time with family and friends here in the Dallas area. Jordan is such a big, happy girl…. Even though we finally have more teeth arriving!! That’s right, her eye teeth are coming in. That will leave just the bottom four to take their time in arriving.

We're trying tomake it all the way across Pennsylvania. It's taking a while but the kids are keeping busy. Jordan keeps putting herself to "bed" by covering herself up with her blanket saying "night night." Cam is high on PB&J and Twizlers. I let him buy a package during our last bathroom stop. Silly permissive [...]

We've made it through a very strong rainstorm in Connecticut. We said our big goodbyes to my parents and the beautiful coast of Maine. Jordan already took one nap. We're talking Cam into taking one right now. Only six to eight more hours of driving to go for the day!

We just said goodbye to my "Uncle" Steve… I don't think I've really spent time with him since I was on my way to college! It was great to share the kids, share some beers and just chat. I'm ready for the next adventure! Wish us luck.

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 [...]
