Wow... time flies. I can't believe how crazy life has been lately. It seems like the last two months have gone by in the blink of an eye.
Life has been pretty overwhelming the last couple of months. Last spring my dad was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, and recently we have hit some pretty big bumps in the road in regards to this. I feel like it's all I think about these days, and it's exhausting... mentally, emotionally and even physically. I, like many little girls, grew up thinking that my daddy was the strongest man in the world. It's hard to wrap my brain around the idea that something might be wrong with him, that he could be so sick. We're trying our best to be positive and strong. I've been praying like crazy. In my heart, I know that my Dad can beat this. He IS strong. But it still scares me.
Work has also been crazy for both Scot and I. I've been hiring like crazy and trying to stay focused, while Scott has been putting in lots of very long hours. Sometimes I feel like it will never end, like we'll never get a break. This rat race really drives me crazy. We've had very little time for each other lately, which also makes me sad. I'm hoping to be able to take some time to connect this weekend when we go out to celebrate his 27th birthday. I can't believe he's already 27! Time really does fly.
Jordyn continues to amaze us. I can't believe how perfect she is. Lately, she has been crawling and climbing all over the place. She recently learned how to wave Hi and Bu-bye. She is just so smart. Now, every day when I drop her off at daycare, she cries and waves at me. It absolutely melts my heart. I always listen right outside the door though, and she stops as soon as I'm out of sight.
At her 9 month check up, she weighed in at 18 lbs and 8 oz... such a big girl. Right now she has 4 teeth and is currently working on 2 more. She loves to put everything in her mouth, and Cherrios are her favorite breakfast food. Within the last two weeks or so, Jordyn has figured out how to push walkers and run behind them... baby girl is quick! I'm sure she'll be trying to walk here shortly.
Well, there is my quick update... pretty exhausted, and its late. I'll be sure to post more later with pictures!
