16 months!


Jordyn is such a toddler these days. She is running, jumping, kicking and climbing onto everything. She has taught herself how to climb in and out of Ethan's exersaucer, and tries to do so every time i turn my back.

Jordyn also has a strong opinion these days. She is the biggest food critic, and not shy about speaking up if she isn't a fan of what's on the menu. She will often toss the entire meal right onto the floor (we're currently working on this. She also likes to dress herself. The other morning I found her sifting through the pile of clothes that I had just pulled out of the dryer and noticed that she was sporting a few pairs of my underwear around her neck, along with my tank top and a couple of my headbands. Thank goodness they were clean clothes!

Hawaii was amazing. One of the best trips ever, it was so hard to get on that plane to go home. The trip was full of sunshine, lava flows and beach time. Jordyn only minorly lost it on the plane rides, and the complimentary Mai Tais helped with that. She got to feel sand on her feet for the first time, which she hated, and play in the ocean for the first time, which she also wasn't a fan of. She did absolutely love the pool though and all of the attention she received from her uncles, Jack and Ty. Scott and I managed to steal away for a bit just the two of and took a boat ride to the Napali coast. It was absolutely beautiful, despite my motion sickness.

Unfortunately shortly after returning home I had to go in for surgery. I was very thankful that Scott was able to take off some extra time from work so he could be there when I woke up from my anesthesia. The surgery was a success and after two weeks of recovery, I am back to normal.

Scott comes home at the end of this week, and I can hardly wait. We Skype as often as possible, but there is nothing like the real thing. Jordyn and I can't wait to wrap out arms around him.
