She climbs!
I looked away in the backyard for one moment… And suddenly I look up and Jordan is on the first rung of the treehouse ladder. I rush over and spotted her as she climbed all the way up on her own. Success!! She was very proud. I’m nervous. Cam would have never climbed that ladder…

Yesterday afternoon something little but very exciting happened. I was picking the kids up and Jordan REALLY wanted to drink water from the water fountain. So I dropped her down onto the floor and she took two baby steps before she plopped down on her butt and scooted the rest of the way. 2 BABY…

Jordan went to work with me this morning because she had a meeting with the physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor at a nearby rehab clinic in town. The doctor checks in with us every once and a while. We met up with him a year ago when I was struggling to find therapists for Jordan.…

I picked up Jordan at school today… And she made MASSIVE strides towards walking. She can go long distances by herself using the play walker when she’s outside. Today, she made her next big step towards walking: She will hold your hand and walk distances. I did it with her a bunch of times. WE…
