23 Months Old!

I have been sooo swamped at work that I haven’t been able to keep up with the amazing development Jordan’s made in the last week. She’s a big girl. She’s a TALKING girl. Right now, she’s obsessed with nouns. She’s constantly pointing words out everywhere. It’s awesome.

After taking Cameron to school, Jordan and I had some time alone before her Parents as Teacher’s teacher came to visit and do her 24-month-old developmental testing (since Jordan’s birthday is over the holidays, we couldn’t hold it in December). I tried to shoot video of Jordan before that meeting and she wouldn’t have it. So I placed it on the table and just started rolling without her knowledge. And suddenly, something amazing happened. My girl broke out into song:

I’ll be honest. That video is SO freaking cute I can’t handle it. It makes my heart melt with glee and pride and just obsessive amounts of love for this little girl. I feel it deeply for both kids. Somehow, this video is pure love. It could be because she’s singing “I love you.”

Tonight, Jordan did another amazing thing. She took her sock and shoe off in the car. She would NOT let me put it back on. I had to carry her into the house (it’s way too cold for a barefoot baby). She promptly sat on the floor, worked that sock onto her foot and then got her shoe back on. Then she stood up, put her arms in the air and declared: “Ta Da!” She did it! ALL BY HERSELF! I was so proud, I rushed over to her, gave her a HUGE hug. She felt so dang proud! What was really funny was Cam’s reaction: “I do that all the time.”
