Jordan's Journal

 

I have to admit that I just put this page together in September 2001and the year is almost over.  I am going to try to highlight some of the events that happened earlier in the year but I'm sure it won't be in great detail.  However, now that this page is up, I hope to keep this journal updated with all of the exciting things Jordan is doing.

March 2001
bullet3/9/01: OUCH!!!!! Jordan broke her Left Arm!!!!  Jordan was at Ms. Yvette's home daycare and was playing in the backyard when she fell and hurt her arm.  It happened only minutes before I arrived to pick her up, so I was able to notice something was wrong right away. It was Friday night and we had to go to a very busy ER. We all (including the Dr.) really didn't think it was broken, maybe just sprained, so we were all surprised to see the xray showing the fractured bone.  She wore a temporary cast over the weekend and on Monday we went to the orthopedic and she got her bright pink cast.  She only has to wear it for 3wks.

February 2001
bulletJordan has a new favorite question..."Mommy, what's that?"  We must hear it a hundred times a day.  But it's very cute. On 2/22/01 Jordan pee'd in the potty all day.  She was wearing pull-ups and didn't have any accidents.

January 2001
bullet1/20/01:  Jordan's 1st Professional Haircut.  Connie at Studio50 Hair was very happy to give Jordan her 1st hair cut.  Jordan was such a good girl, she sat in the booster seat and did everything Connie said.  Mommy has been giving Jordan her haircuts since she was born but it was time to get everything "evened-out". 
bullet1/20/01: No more Crib!  On this day, Daddy changed Jordan's crib into a toddler bed.  She slept all night and on Sunday morning she sat up in the bed and called out for "Mommy or Daddy" to come get her.  I don't think she realized she could get up all by herself.  However, by Sunday night she figured out that if she doesn't want to go to sleep, she could just get out and come to our bed.
