Sweet Baby

I have to say that I am impressed with Jordan over the last few days. We left to visit my parents on Friday, but we almost cancelled because Jordan was gettting a cold.

I know having lots of people around helps to entertain her, but while we were there she was coughing like crazy, runny nose, sniffling, sneezing, mouth breathing - you name it. But, she never complained. Only a few times when she coughed hard did she cry some out of pain.

Bless her heart, she was so good even though she must have been pretty miserable.

She wants to walk so badly - practicing is her favorite thing to do. And, if you want to make her smile, bring out the camera! She knows just what to do! No matter what she is doing, if she sees there is a camera pointed at her, she stops, turns, and smiles. It cracks me up! She also started to shake her head "no" when I tell her "no" about not touching something. She has also been doing her first sign ("all done") that I have been trying to teach her so that she can tell me when she is done eating. As frustrating as it can be sometimes to take care of her, it has been neat the last few weeks as I can tell she is starting to make connections and communicate some with us and really relate to the world around her.
