Quick update

Every night I have a little time to prepare pictures or write something about the kids online. Obviously I haven’t done as much of that lately. Why? I’m trying to figure out the right way to save the almost 8,000 pictures I’ve taken in the last couple of years. If you visit our Flickr site, you’ll notice I’ve posted more than 2,000 pictures… And those aren’t even all of the pictures I’ve taken this past year. Scary, huh? So my computer is full. It’s really full. So I’ve been spending all of my time moving folder after folder of pictures into an external hard drive. Thanks to black friday sales, I bought a second external hard drive that I plan to use to mirror the original external hard drive. Why all the fuss? I tried to save old pictures of Cam when Jordan was born into an external drive… And it crashed. I have video and images stuck in that drive that I may never be able to recover. It crushes me to even think about it. So this time I’m going to be extra careful.

As for Miss Jordan, she’s doing well. Our therapist wants her to be challenged to reach for toys, so everything needs to be a couch level for her. That’s tricky. But she has the needed body strength to stand and walk, we just have to encourage Jordan to actually do it. So we’re working hard on that. And even though it’s hard to watch, it’s a great sign when Jordan gets aggravated after falling down or angry because she can’t reach something. The angrier she gets, the more she’s going to want to learn this next crucial milestone. Other signs she’s getting bigger: Food. She wants everything and anything that anyone else is eating. Last night she was saying good night to her dad when she noticed he had a slice of pizza. She waved good bye… But immediately started grunting for that slice. Did I mention she LOVES pizza. The picture above says that. I think I’m a lot braver with messy food with Jordan. Cameron missed out on that. Randy thinks I’m crazy, but I think it’s cute… Until clean up time.
