An interesting arrival

This isn’t something you would find in your average home: Five hands. Yup. These arrived in the mail today. But in our household, it isn’t a huge surprise. These are the covers to Jordan’s myoelectric. I can’t imagine us needing 5 of these… But you never know. I do know it’s a BEAR to get these onto a prosthetic, so I’m hoping I won’t have to replace one of these anytime soon. By the way, Jordan wore her prosthetic for 10 hours today and she was still moving that hand a TON. And right before I took her up to bed, she lifted her arm up and waved it at her Daddy. It was mighty sweet.

Along with our interesting prosthetic arrival, it’s a lot easier to see Jordan’s new two teeth. I caught it on camera yesterday. She was eating a HUGE dinner and happy to be happy. Jordan is doing so many sweet things. This morning she threw her sippy cup onto the floor and she quietly said: uh….. oh. Adorable. I watched her say it again at school today. Apparently there’s a new baby in the room who’s 12 months old who said Uh Oh all the time. Jordan has quickly picked it up. She also was playing peekaboo behind a curtain where they hide the diapers and wipes (under the changing table). She’s just so sweet and wonderful and all I can do is squeeze her. And I’ll soak in those hugs as much as I can for as long as I can get them.

Oh on one side note… Today Jordan had her final mommy milk at school. I’m sad I couldn’t continue to pump. But the way she’s going with her feedings, she’s going to have formula once a day… maybe two. She’s eating more and more solid food and milk is becoming less a dominant portion of her diet. I’m sad to watch her grow so fast… I’m not quite mentally ready to start the full weaning process. We’re talking about being done by the time we travel to Florida for the holidays. We’ll see. It’s just so hard to leave the baby phase while Jordan is still so sweet, girly and small. Well… Skinny. I put her into a 12 month old outfit today… It fit loosely, but the long pants almost hit the middle of her shins. It is way too short. Oh, one other thing. The upside of getting a prosthetic that Jordan wear this long: Long sleeve outfits. She can wear more of those outfits. There’s no rolling, no need for altering. She just wears it. It’s not as easy to put on with the prosthetic side… But it’s kind of cool to wear long sleeve clothes.
