Grandparent time

Jordan gets to hang out at home for the rest of the week… Her Grandma and Poppy are here because of a big tree house project underway in our backyard. I’m really glad that she had that chance, because today was a really big sleep day. She woke up early and less than an hour…

5 Months Old!

Wow. How fast the time goes by as Jordan grows. It’s pretty amazing. Today was a holiday, so we had to work with the kids. And I don’t fear that, I actually consider that a fun day in my world. Cam and I got to hang out while Jordan took her morning nap. After we…

Rolling and giggling

Have I mentioned that Jordan can’t pay attention when I’m feeding her these days? It’s a very standard issue for babies at this age. The world is exciting, and she doesn’t want to miss any moment that is happening behind her when she’s eating. So she eats a little, turns around to look at something……

Rolling over!! Both ways!!

I’m so excited. Two days ago, Jordan’s teachers said she rolled over. They missed which direction she rolled. Today I was in the prosthetic office when I got Jordan to roll one way on camera… And then she rolled the other direction! Very cool. If you can’t see it, click here.

Kick kick kick

Special Mother's Day

So today I was a Mommy to two on a Mother’s Day. I’m so lucky. Jordan was full of smiles today. We finally found a baptism dress! It is sweet and simple and sleeveless — which I felt was very, very important. My Mom came into town yesterday. She arrived late in St. Louis, so…

Tummy time, better. Sitting, needs work.

Jordan had PT and OT in the same day. Bad planning on my part. Jordan dealt with it pretty well… Until after about 20 or so minutes of OT. She got so upset. I felt terrible for her and we had to end our appointment. So I sent her off to “school” so she could…

Busy, busy, busy

Life is so busy these days… I’m struggling to get a new syllabus put together for a class that I’m kicking off next week. There are so many logistics that I am not sure how I’m going to get it done. At the same time, there’s a few fun things going on in my world.…
