She's a big girl now

Jordan has had a big couple of weeks. She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything she can reach now. As soon as she figured out how to crawl forward, she headed straight for the outlets. We definitely have our hands full now. She has already managed to bang her head on the wall and fall on her butt hard enough to scare herself. She usually just plops down on her butt to begin crawling or playing with whatever she has grabbed from the coffee table.

And this is Jordan playing with a toy from Wally world designed to help her learn to walk. I just wanted something she could safely pull up on and had a hard time finding anything without wheels.


And while no teeth have come in yet, she is teething and drooling. Notice the drool on both her onesie and the couch. I think she was proud of herself.

So, this week we figured out what was more pitiful than an infant chest x-ray, an infant barium swallow study with upper GI. They had to strap her down with her arms by her head again, only this time for more like 20 minutes while they fed her barium and watched it progress through her system. Not that I blame her, but she was royally POed with the whole thing. Infants apparently like barium, which is something I was worried about. We still don't know much of anything about the cough, but the radiologist said everything looked fine. I think we're going to call our pediatrician on Tuesday to see what the results were. The pediatric pulmonogist is apparently out of town until sometime in June, and we don't have a follow up appt with him until early July.

On a happier note, Jordan will attend her first cook out tomorrow. I hope the weather is warm enough for her to get in the pool. This pool is kept in the high 80's, but if it feels chilly, we are definitely not putting her in there. As much as she loves playing in the bathtub, I have high hopes for the pool. Don't worry, our deprived child owns 5 swimsuits and a coverup to choose from.

Sorry I am commenting kindof late. I read your post the other day and I like the new look of your blog. Cool water pics - Jordan looks like she had fun. I hope she has been feeling okay. We are getting more teeth and are not particularly happy about it. I hope to catch up with you soon.
