Here you go

This video is kind of painful. The cry is brutal. It’s also for show. Notice how she turns it off on the turn of a dime. If you can’t watch it, click here.

She doesn't like to be told what to do

Jordan has a new habit of throwing her food to the dogs. Usually she starts when she isn’t hungry anymore. This morning she started throwing the food before she even ate it. I caught her and told her to stop throwing with a stern voice. And she started crying like I beat her to a…

Can someone turn down the volume?

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…

I think we're funny

Dude. Where’s my arm? Originally uploaded by Jen. I love this t-shirt. It makes me happy. I’ve waited for Jordan to grow into it and immediately made her play on the floor so I could take a picture. Silly me. Jordan was up really late Wednesday night, so she slept in late. Past 9am! I…

My lovely Valentine

Hanging at a Valentine’s party Originally uploaded by Jen. Jordan had her second Valentine’s Day… This time she got to have a classroom party. She was fashionable and enjoyed the yummy sugar. But thanks to a very short nap, she was pretty darn cranky and clingy when I took her to Cam’s party. Not a…

A big step

Jordan climbed onto the bottom step in the basement this morning. I had the phone on the fourth step, and she was trying to go after it. She was on her knees reaching when I noticed. She was stable, but when she decided she needed to get down, she wasn’t sure what to do. I…

Baby's first haircut

Hair before and after Originally uploaded by Jen. Jordan is done with her baby mullet. Today her Poppy trimmed her hair for the first time. She was pretty darn good sitting on my lap, eating cheesy bunnies. She was so good! The funny thing is her thin hair… It’s so fine that it was hard…
