6 Months Old
Look who is 6 months old. I can’t get over it. And to make the day even more special, I watched Jordan roll over from her belly onto her back for the first time after her morning nap. I was very proud. So proud that I had to rush her downstairs and plop her into…
Read More +Testing out a new tool
On Tuesday, Jordan, her daddy and mommy spent a long, long time at the prosthetic office working on creating a new prosthetic that includes a hand and moves with her body better than the previous chest strap. This one gives her more ability to move, but after we put it to test during today’s (Wednesday’s)…
Read More +Proof she can sit
I’ve been talking about how Jordan is getting better at sitting up. So today I took her outside to get some shots of her growing skill. She was so cheery after her afternoon nap, so I had to get some grins while she sat up. With her ability to sit, she’s been able to play…

After her day of total sleep, Jordan is recovering pretty quickly. She still has a cough, but she has life again in her eyes. Cam was asking questions about Jordan’s arm again today. He asked if her hand was hiding inside her arm. I told him that it wasn’t, that she just doesn’t have one…
Read More +200th Post — With Snot
Yeah. I caught a moment when Jordan looked snotty, miserable and goopy. She was awake a total of 3 hours all day long. We’ll see how tonight goes. I should probably go to bed and not post anymore for today. But — This is amazingly, the 200th post about my girl. It proves I’m crazy…
Read More +The big snots are back
Jordan has a cold. I took her to her PM&R appointment and saw the new hand the prosthetist ordered. We all talked about how we need a different way to fit her arm into the prosthetic and I think we’re moving forward. The doctors all had to go through this meeting with Jordan bawling. She…
Read More +That's no fun
So Jordan was strangely cranky today. She slept really strange last night — Needed turning over on a regular basis. Sometimes she’d wake up to fuss, but she was just laying there on her side, so I didn’t bother her. So when she got up this morning, she was just not her very happy self.…
Read More +New challenge
I forgot to post the biggest change and I guess development in Jordan’s and my world. She’s rolling over in bed for the first time… And she gets stuck on her belly. I think she tries as hard as she can to roll back over… But she hasn’t figured that out yet. So at least…
Read More +Showing more personality
Jordan is starting to act a little shy around people… even family members and little kids. When someone starts paying attention to her, she’ll bury her head into my shoulder. It’s very sweet. She is so happy when she sees children. She’s bound to smile so much faster with kids than adults. It’s so interesting.…
Read More +Grocery trip
Jordan got to sit in the cart and smile at everyone during her first real shopping trip at the grocery store. Sure, she’s been there in her baby car seat. But today was the first time I took her with her almost-figured out skill in sitting up. I have a cart cover that includes a…
