17 Months Old
Miss Jordan is 17 months old today. I’m so proud of all she’s been able to do in the last month! She’s walking better every day. Yesterday, she was walking FAST from one spot to the other in our basement. She fell on her face on Sunday and even though she bruised her mouth, she…

Jordan went to her third movie today… But I think this was the first that she really watched. She giggled when other people giggled. She waved at the characters and actually sat in her own seat the majority of the movie. Fun! What makes this especially fun is how Cam’s first movie was Shrek 2……

Jordan is figuring things out. Last Friday I got a voicemail from her occupational therapist telling me how Jordan was figuring out how to really use her prosthetic. Today I got to see the proof. This picture shows Jordan holding a striped tube that you have to hold to put shapes on it. She would…

I normally talk about Jordan here, but I’ve turned up my nerd level a notch since I got a new MacBook Pro yesterday. I’m scheming to get my station’s website up and running with a big project for next year, so today I started building documents on Google Documents and I’m kind of excited about…

I was snuggling with Jordan right before bedtime and I got all goofy… I’m not sure why. I’m going on a road trip to a conference tomorrow and for some reason that makes me more nervous than flying to a location. It’s easier to get into an accident in a car. Anyway. I just soaked…

So I’m heading out of town this week for a conference and a quick visit to see old friends. I just got an email from Jordan’s physical therapist who said she thinks Jordan is possibly days away from walking and recommended someone keeps a video camera around at all times to capture the big moment…

In the midst of my crazy life and efforts to balance everything I do… I spent the majority of my day with my kids. Even though I went into work this morning… I brought the kids. I wanted to be around them as much as I could. This weekend has been overwhelming. Our students graduated…
