Jordyn is 9 Months Old!

March 18, 2015 Leave a Comment

My little Jojo is 9 months old, today. This last month she has advanced and learned so much I can’t believe it’s only been a month since my last post. She’s turning into this semi-independent, head strong, feisty almost one year old right before my eyes. Although Jordyn is only 9 months old, she has so much personality, and cracks me up everyday. I know everyone says their child is adorable and funny, but I promise you Jordyn takes hilariousness to a completely different level. I don’t know how I got so lucky to be the mother of this amazing little blessing, but I can’t thank God enough for her.

“Da-da-da-da-da” is pretty much what she says a majority of the day. Yes, she is officially saying “da-da” and her Dad is loving it. If you tell her to mock you and say “Ma-ma” she smiles and laughs like it’s the funniest word in the world. I’m still not quite sure what’s so funny about saying “Ma-ma” but, whatever, Jordyn! Oh, she also switches up the letters and says “ba-ba” and “na-na.”

Jordyn is a professional at scooting herself backwards while on her tummy. She can also prop her knees up underneath her while on her tummy. However, she hasn’t quite figured out how to make herself move forward instead of backwards, and she hasn’t figured out that she can move her knees while they are underneath her either. It’s pretty funny to watch lol. She loves to stand, while holding onto the coffee table, and she has officially started moving her little feet taking steps sideways while standing at the table. She’s going to be walking before I know it, and I’m not ready!

This has been a month of big girl “firsts”, as well. Jordyn sat in the big girl part of her stroller instead of the car seat for the first time. She also sat in the big girl part of the shopping cart without her car seat. She got her hair braided for the first time, and we got on our first swing together last weekend. So many firsts!

This month Jordyn gets to eat some GOOD food. We get to introduce red meat, turkey, whole rice, a variety of beans, and so much more. I’m sure she will enjoy the new foods and I can’t wait to use my Baby Bullet for even bigger batches of food. Before we know it she will be sharing food off of our plates.

Jordyn also has two bottom teeth. She’s been teething like a champ and it hasn’t bothered her at all. Now that she has these two teeth and eats all of this food, we bought her a baby toothbrush and baby toothpaste the other day. We will use it for the first time tomorrow. Speaking of baby toothpaste, did you know Aquafresh makes an all natural, real fruit sweetened toothpaste for babies? I had no clue and thought it was pretty cool when we found it in the store last week. Hopefully she doesn’t mind us brushing her teeth and doesn’t put up a fight. She’s good at putting up fights lol.

Oh, Jordyn is in the “all about the electronics” stage of life. Especially Kris’ Playstation 4 controllers. She’s quickly learning the word “no” during this stage as well. She loves to hold our cell phones while facetiming people. You may only see an eye or her forehead on the screen, but in her mind she’s doing it correctly and doesn’t want anyone’s help. When you do help her, she throws a fit and cries like someone stole her candy. She is what I like to call, DRAMA.

Her 9 month check up will be next week. I’m curious as to how much she has grown since her last check up at 6 months. Seeing her stand next to other babies, we realize how tall she really is for her age.

This is all of the updated information on Miss Jordyn Denise. I’ll be back next month to update you all on my little Jojo again. Have a happy and blessed Wednesday! 🙂

Jordyn is 8 Months Old!

February 19, 2015 Comments : 2

My baby girl is officially 8 months old, today. In only 4 short months she will be a year old. Where is the time going? 🙁

She’s been rolling over in the middle of the night for about 2 months now, but would never do it so we could see her. That is until she randomly decided she’ll share her expertise at rolling over with us the other day trying to get my cell phone. She legit rolled over to her stomach like she’s been doing it for years. She also looked at us like we were crazy because we cheered when she did it. Clearly we’re behind and she wasn’t impressed -_-.

In other developmental news, Jordyn can officially wave “hi and “bye” to people. oh, and she LOVES to stand. She needs to be holding onto someone or something in order to do it, but she is almost to the point that she hates sitting. Lastly, this little girl loves to DANCE! Music doesn’t even have to be playing for her to dance. I’m convinced she has a permanent soundtrack playing in her mind and that’s what she dances to. Either way, it’s adorable and there’s no stopping her lol.

We’ve been working on getting her to hold her own bottle, crawl, and say “Mama” and “Dada.” As of right now, she’s not impressed with any of these things. Giving her the bottle to hold is a joke, because she drops it, then looks at us like “why aren’t you doing your job?” When we try to get her to crawl, she stretches her legs back out and proceeds to army crawl/scoot to get to her destination. And when we tell her to say “Mama” or “Dada” she looks at us and cracks up laughing. She either thinks the words are REALLY funny or is mocking the fact that she’ll say what she wants, when she wants, and not a second before. Oh, she’s also into throwing things too. If she doesn’t want it, it usually ends up half way across the room. (In case you can’t tell, her independence and feisty-ness grows right along with her lol.)

This month we get to add cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and eggplant to her already extensive diet. I bought cantaloupe, pineapple, broccoli, and kale at the grocery store the other day for her to try. Tomorrow we will give kale and cantaloupe our first try. Let’s hope she likes it!

Thanks for reading up on my little Jojo. We’ll be back in a month to give another update on what amazing things this amazing kid has learned. Have a happy and blessed Wednesday evening! I’ll leave you with this adorable picture of Princess Jordyn in her Valentine’s Day outfit <3

Jordyn is 6 Months Old!

December 19, 2014 Comments : 2

Jordyn turned 6 months old yesterday, and I can’t believe my baby girl is already half a year old. How has time gone by so fast? It is such a bittersweet feeling. Every Mommy loves watching their baby grow up and experience the journey of learning to use their body. We literally get to watch them develop into self-functioning, smart, little people. However, it’s hard not to get sad realizing the bigger they get, the more they won’t need you to do everything for them. I remember when she couldn’t lift her head up, without us having to support her head from flopping everywhere. And now, she can control her head like a pro, plus so much more.

Jordyn can almost roll from her back to her tummy. She is EXTREMELY close. Once she figures out how to kick that foot over she’ll get it. She’s also talking a lot more these days. She’s still not saying any specific words, but you can’t tell her that, because the way girlfriend talks and yells you would think she has a very extensive vocabulary. Speaking of yelling, she’s quite vocal about what she does and doesn’t like. More so what she DOESN’T like -_-. She’s feisty, but at least I can already tell she won’t take any mess from anyone lol. It also seems as if Daddy and Big Brother, Ares, are the funniest person and dog in the world to her. She has such a contagious and loving giggle and laugh. They say nothing is as beautiful as a baby’s laughter, and whoever said this definitely knows what they are talking about.

Yesterday, we had to go to the pediatrician for her 6 month check-up. She was also supposed to get the 3rd round of her shots, but it hasn’t been exactly 8 weeks since her last round so we have to wait until Monday to do those. I’m not looking forward to these shots at all. She is now 15 lbs 9 oz. and 26 inches long. Dr. Weatherwax is impressed with how well she is doing, which is what every parent loves to hear. We also tried our first real food (that isn’t brown rice cereal and formula). Our first real food of choice was peas, and someone was definitely NOT a fan. I made the peas from scratch in my wonderful Baby Bullet (thanks Josh and Charelle!) and made enough to last us a week. We will stick with one veggie for close to a week, before switching to another one, for allergy and tummy agreement purposes. I will post a few of her favorite recipes in the next few weeks.

In the mean time, enjoy these pictures of the skeptical and unimpressed, Jordyn, trying her peas for the first time :-).
