The blankie remains missing. My temporary blanket is working. And the business that had the replacement blankets emailed me to say the shipment is on its way. Hooray. I snuck into Jordan’s room this morning while she took her morning nap… She was peacefully sleeping on her belly. It was the deep kind of sleep…

So, we went to church and Jordan had her lamb blanket with her. I seem to remember her holding onto it in church… But she was getting a little too talkative in the middle of the service, so I took her to the nursery for the first time. I left her there with her diaper…

So big! Originally uploaded by Jen Reeves. What a big girl. Jordan turned seven months old today. She enjoyed it by taking a HUGE 3 hour nap. But when she was awake, we spent a lot of time playing with her toys while she sat on the floor in the basement. She is getting so…

Jordan and I met up with our new occupational therapist today. For the first time, Jordan took an actual OT test. Not surprisingly, the test proved she’s really on target for her age. I’m very proud of that and I know the therapy we’ve been doing is because of that. And to me, it proves…

I think it’s happening, Jordan is getting upset when I leave her at school. This morning she dealt with it once I plopped her down with a bunch of toys in front of her. But this afternoon after I fed her, she was really, really upset. She was also really tired. I hate walking away…

Who knew mashed up avocado and a splash of mashed up banana would please my child so. It’s the first food I’ve given her that makes her excited. She takes a bite and waves her arms and legs around in pure happiness. It’s amazing. Even her teachers were astounded by her reaction. It’s just THAT…

Jordan is fighting another cold. Can you believe it? Poor kid. She’s been coughing for a couple of weeks, but today her nose started leaking, her eyes were runny and she had all kinds of sneezes. But in between many naps, she sat in the tree house with Cam and I for a while and…

Jordan worked really hard at therapy today. We’re working on figuring out the right way to use her prosthetic and not interrupt the wonderful progress she’s making using her little arm. You really should see how cool it is when she grabs things with both arms. I’ll try to post a piece of video of…

Jordan had her six month old doctors appointment. Sure she’s almost 7 months old. Anyway. Her stats: 16 pounds 11 ounces (75th percentile) and 25 inches long (50th percentile). She’s doing great. I think it’s so funny that almost 17 pounds is considered 75th percentile for a girl. It would probably be 10th for a…

Yeah. I’m awake at a strange time of night. And blogging early in the morning is silly. But here’s the complaint. I’m not planning on having any more kids. And tonight, my breast pump is starting to die. So I’m going to have to buy a new one to use for only 5 months. I’m…
