Talking
Hooray!!
Oh my gosh. Jordan is so damned sweet. I said “HOORAY!” in the car this evening… Then she joined in with a sweet “HOORAY!” Well, I had to show off her sweet hooray with her Dad. SO right before bed we started yelling HOORAY!! I took her up to bed, sang our lullaby when she…

So we’re moving forward with helping Jordan’s foot issues. We met with Jordan’s physical therapist this evening. She’s pretty sure an orthotic device called a UCBL will help. It’s a shoe insert that may help keep Jordan from curling her feet and help her hold them on the ground properly. The hard part: She thinks…

I’m still out of town but for consecutive days… When I talk to Jordan she starts babbling in a very Dr. Seuss-like way. “Hi Jordan. I miss you.” “Fat Bat Cat Sat Bat Fah.” “Wow. That’s great. Then what happened?” “Fat Cat Sat Mat Bat Fah.” “That’s amazing. I can’t wait to see you.” It’s…

It’s Jordan’s half birthday!! It’s just amazing to think about what a big girl she is turning into. We had Jordan’s 6 month IFSP meeting this morning: Individualized Family Service Plan as part of the state’s First Steps program. We are going to cut down on our PT time (we were approved for 2-3 appointments…

For the first time in my 17-month-old’s life, I let her watch almost an entire hour of Sesame Street. She sat on my lap while the whole family gathered in our bed. She kept pointing and saying “baby!” The theme was about babies and what it’s like being an older sibling. Cam was even engaged.…

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,Today you turned 16 months old! I can’t believe you’re this big. At the same time, you prove it every day. You are trying so hard to talk. I left town this past month. It was the first time I had been away from you. EVER. I was nervous. When I came back, I noticed…
Read More +Wow. Could you get some words please?
We’re soundly in the phase where my girl needs more words. She has taken to screaming a lot since I got back into town. Really painful screaming. I’m using words back with her, asking her to use the few signs that she knows… But she will fall into a ball of tears and an on-the-floor…
Read More +Wow. Things change fast
I got stuck at work late today because we finally launched the new and improved KOMU.com! (hooray!) So my in-laws got to be there with Jordan when our PT worked with her. Miss Jordan “walked” for an entire 30 minutes. Up and down the driveway, along the little walkway. She just wanted to go, go,…

I’ve been drowning in work, child care and travel. I haven’t been posting about my world enough lately. But I have to say life with my girl is getting more and more interesting. For a couple of days, the boys of the family were out of town enjoying basketball. So I got to enjoy Jordan…
