Wordless Wednesday

Love in an airplane...

Awake!

Big Girl!

Jordan had her second Botox injection today; a procedure which can be common in CP patients but requires full sedation for the little ones.  Jared has kept me updated with pictures and text messages all morning - and I am pleased to share that Jordan is at Dairy Queen, about to eat her chocolate ice cream!

Jared said that Jordan was a real champ today; she never flinched or cried a single tear when they did her IV.  She went to sleep and woke up like a big girl, and when she was awake, she remembered the important words that I told her earlier in the morning.  "Daddy will take you to get whatever kind of ice cream you want if you do a good job."  Jared said that when she woke up, she told him she wanted chocolate ice cream. 

WE are so proud of Jordan.  She has always been so strong, and her strength continues to grow every day.  I have cried more than she has today.  I hope to one day be as strong as this little girl; I have to kneel to see in her eyes but can't help but look up to her.

School is Out

- Jordan getting ready for her last day of school -

School's out.  School's out.

Teacher let the bulls out.

No more pencils; no more books.

No more teacher's dirty looks!

A BIG THANK YOU TO MISS STACEY AND MISS BRENDA FOR A GREAT 1ST SEMESTER!

A very sad goodbye with the fantastic Miss Stacey

 I previously shared a story about Jordan's first days of school.  When I asked her what she learned, she made a silly face and told me that Ella had tought her to make silly faces.  So finally, I bring to you, the Jordan and Ella Silly Face Show!

And in recognition of Father's Day - here is a throwback picture of Jordan and Daddy showing off her ALL THINGS PINK homework assignment! Who would have ever thought that Jared would be so amazing at all things pink? What a great dad he is (and what a lucky mama I am)!

5 months

Ok, so technically Karter is nearly 5 1/2 months old, but we shouldn't get so technical around friends, right? 

Official 5 month photo!

Loving to play!

So stinkin' cute!  I love this giggle face <3

Rolling down a river!

Karter is ROLLING over! They say it is harder for a baby to roll from their back to their front than vice-versa, but Karter (getting it honest) has chosen to master the complexities in life first and is rolling from her back to her front! She started a week and a half ago, and I was pretty sure it was just a fluke - but now that it's happening more frequently, it's safe to say she's a roller!

And as every baby knows, tummy time is so much sweeter when it's your own idea!
