Walking
Is it too late to change my mind?
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…

Here you go… My girl with her first baseball from Busch Stadium. It was hot, I got a sunburn. But she didn’t seem to mind. The hardest part was keeping her hydrated even though she’d been on the BRAT diet. You know: Banana, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. I brought toast, applesauce and bananas along with…

That’s right folks. Mark today down in the books. She walked many times at school today! Not just a few – 5 steps two times and 6 steps another time. They stopped counting the many two-step moments in the day. At home, she even walked a couple of steps here and there. My girl can…

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…

Little Miss had a heck of a weekend… Her brother had a huge party yesterday and today the Easter bunny delivered all kinds of cool stuff. I learned a good lesson: Jordan is not the kind of kid you can pose for pictures. But in the end, I caught some AWESOME shots. I just can’t…
Read More +Sudden Realization
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…

15 Months Old Originally uploaded by NerdyMom. She’s growing so fast. But you know, I’ve been able to slowly work into the toddler world with Jordan. The lucky part of not having a walking toddler is how I’ve been able to watch her personality grow, her language grow… Her love of the world and communication…
Read More +Some work to do
I’ve been trying to work with Jordan on her walking with very little progress. Today we met with her physical therapist and she said we have some intense work to do. But if we do that, she thinks we could get Jordan walking in a month or two. So here’s what we have to do……
