Jordan's laugh

Yesterday, I was sitting on the couch playing with Jordan, and she finally did it for me. I had been telling her earlier, that it was time for her to laugh, I wanted to know what it sounds like. She listened. While Bryce and I were sitting on the bed with her a little later on, she did it again. He got out the camera and taped it. I know she laughs at least one good laugh in the video. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did the first time I heard it.

Jordan's blessing






We had Jordan blessed on the 7th of September. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of her that day, I know, bad mommy. But, I do have some pictures that we took of her in the dress when we did her newborn pictures, and I plan to get one of Danny holding her in the dress, probably next Sunday, then he will be in church clothes. I asked Danny if he would bless her for me while I was still pregnant, and both of us cried about it, big boobs, right? I invited my Uncle Kelly and my Dad to be in the circle as well. If Anthony and Justin had been able to be there, I would have loved for them to be in the circle, most of all, I wish Grandpa could have been here for it. But, at least I was able to use the dress he made. I am hoping I will have a boy one day, so I can use the blessing jumper he made for me. It was my wedding gift from him. He hadn't done one in a really long time, and I think he was a little if'y about whether he really wanted to do one, but he did, I guess because I was his Princess. I cried, Danny did a great job, and I am so grateful to him. But, I figured I would give him practice for when he had his own beautiful baby to bless with Ariane. There were a few memorable moments during the sacrament meeting that I have to post on here. The first was Aspyn, I am pretty sure neither she nor Delaynee have ever been to church. As they were passing out the sacrament, Aspyn turned to Diana and asked her what they were handing out, then she asked if she could have some. The other was when Noah was watching Aspyn play her Pet Vet game on her Nintendo DS. He kept saying, out loud might I add, "She's playing poker, she's playing cards." It was hard to hold it together. We invited our family over to the house for food after the blessing. We had spent all of Saturday making the house presentable. Considering the lunch was a last minute deal, we did a pretty good job of pulling it off. I was glad when the weekend was over, but it was nice to get Jordan blessed.

Jordan can roll over


Misty told me on Wednesday, that Jordan laughed at her, and rolled over twice, back to front. (even though it was on the couch, which is sloped, so she had a little bit of a handicap to help her) I was kind of upset not to be there for these things, and I tried my hardest to get her to do either of them for me Wednesday night, with no luck. Last night, while we were doing tummy time, she rolled over for me, from front to back. She did it 3 times before I even tried to catch it on camera, twice to her right and once to her left. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke. So, I took video of it for Bryce to see. And, while I was drying my hair after my shower, she rolled from her back to front for Bryce, no fluke, and no handicap. I haven't been able to video the back to front yet, but have no fear, it will soon happen and I will post it too. If you couldn't tell, I am so excited, and I just had to share with everyone.

Wheeler Farm









Jordan and I took a day trip to Wheeler Farm with Misty, Noah, Linsey, Ashley and Karissa a few weeks back. We didn't stay very long, but it was so much fun to watch Noah try to feed the ducks, even though he was afraid of the pigeons. We took the tractor ride, which was so cute, because Noah is obsessed with tractors. He was mesmerized by it. And, I even let Misty get a picture of me on the "fake" horse.

Update






So, here is a little update, not much to say. I do a little routine with Jordan, sit ups. She loves it, and thinks it is the coolest thing to be sitting up. She gets so excited. She loves standing up, and acts like she wants to take a step. When we do tummy time, she brings her legs up like she is trying to crawl, and even scoots herself forward a little. I know you shouldn't let babies watch tv, but Jordan really loves it. If it is on, she is in a trance. We have decided her favorite show is Transformers. I have a video of her watching some of it.
