Learning to laugh
Jordan’s latest development is she’s trying to laugh. I say trying because she hasn’t really gotten the hang of it yet, and it sounds more like a cough than actual laughter. But it is so cute! She’ll get this huge smile on her face, and then “cough” a couple times while wildly flailing her arms and legs. So cute. She started doing that when I was singing “I love you a bushel and a peck” from Guys and Dolls one morning. She seems to wake up in a good mood almost every time she wakes up, and I’m learning her “I’m tired” signals better now, so I can put her down for a nap when she looks like she needs one. She seems to need more naps than the books say she needs at this age, so I’m letting her be in charge of naps. Today she slept most of the day. I’m hoping she’s not sick, because she was a bit more fussy today than usual. She cried for 2 hours this morning, and wouldn’t even eat. She went a full 4 hours between morning feedings, which is very unusual.
She got a bath this evening, which she really likes. She told me she wanted to get out tonight by lifting up her feet out of the tub. It was really funny. Every day she seems to have new things that she does that just make me smile. It’s so much fun to see her grow. This week we have Gymboree on Tues and Thurs, like usual, but on Wed we’re heading to Disney for a bridal shower for one of my friends who’s getting married next weekend. Jordan gets to come backstage and see where Mommy used to work! I’m planning on cleaning out my desk, too. I never got a chance to since I went on maternity early, and ended up leaving before the end of May. I’m still emplyed by Disney, but on Family Care Leave, which will last until Dec. 11. Then I’m not sure yet if I’ll be dropping my status to Casual Temporary to work weekends only, or if I’ll be quitting. It would be sad to leave the company, but it may be time to move on. We’re still waiting to hear about a possible job for Mike in Denver, too. It’s crazy to have so much up in the air. Well, that’s all for now!
