Another Day

Okay, so it can't be coincidence - Jordan didn't cry last night when I put her down! That makes the third night in a row... Could it be that the worst is over?? Oh I HOPE SO!


So - some pictures that I promised from yesterday. First of all, grudgingly so, but at my mom's request, a swimming picture from our lesson. I just love Jordan's little bathing suit.





Second, the picture of BJ's buck. And a funny one - because of what you can't see, which is daddy telling Jordan "see, nothing to be afraid of, it's just a deer - head - hanging from a tree." :)

So - Jordan is beginning to get herself a little bit of an attitude! I've noticed lately that if you take a toy away from her, she gets upset... She is VERY grabby right now, and wants to hold EVERYTHING in her reach, and if she can't reach it, or if you try to keep it away, she gets very frustrated. I was playing with her, and let her pull on the cord on the living room fan that turns the light on and off - which totally astounded and amazed Jordan. Much to her delight, she could turn the light on and off as often as she wanted, for as long as I stood there holding her up high enough so that she could reach the wooden pull. Well, she didn't want to stop, even though mommy's arms were tired - and she has not forgotten about that wonderful toy since, because she reaches for it every time we walk under the fan now. It seemed like a fun good idea at the time. :) So today in daycare, Victoria asked me "so who does Jordan get her temper from"? I looked at her in awe, and promptly responded "from her daddy" (obviously, because mommy is made of sugar) and asked her why she would ask? Apparently Kohana, one of the girls in Jordan's room, took a toy away from her -and Jordan pitched a fit! Ha! The personality is starting to shine through - and she is living up to her nickname of "Stinker". :) I've been described as having a "strong personality" in the workplace - perhaps Jordan will follow suit. :) She never stood a chance, between BJ's genes and mine, she won't be a girl who stays in the wings. Let the fun begin. :)
