Jordyn is a big girl! We are very proud to announce that for the past week, Jordyn has been sleeping....drumroll, please.... in her crib in her own room! We know, we know, its about time! But seriously, we had a very hard time accepting the fact that it was time to put her in her own room. She has been too big for the bassinet for a while (weight wise) and the crib mattress is much firmer which we think she prefers. She has slept great though a few times she's gotten up to eat. She's so funny, we still put her down on her back like the doctor says, but Jordyn almost immediately flips over to her stomach and sleeps with her knees scrunched up and her tush in the air! So cute!
This weekend also was Jordyn's first time in a high chair. We figured since she sits up so well there is not a lot of danger of her slumping or slamming over and she just loves being part of the table like a big girl. And its easier for us, too!
Last, we forgot to mention in the last post that Jordyn likes to cross her ankles like a proper little lady. When she is in her bouncer, she will cross her ankles over and it is soooo cute! We got a pic of her leaning against a pillow doing it, too.
We have also finally settled on a sort of theme for Jordyn's room. We didn't want to go too girly because we are sure she will go through a phase where she dislikes the princessy, pretty girly stuff so we went with a funky theme of big flowers and black and white tiger stripes. We still have some painting in her room to do but we hung the curtains and that alone transformed the room. Pics of all this will be forthcoming but for now we wanted to make sure we posted everything.

Wow, our little girl is 6 months old! And you know what that means, more shots! This time, Aaron was out of town on business so Lauren had to take Jordyn by herself yesterday for shots. We found out that Jordyn weighs 16 pounds 9 ounces and is over 25 inches long. She is now right at the 50th percentile for height and weight. The doctor said she sits up very well for a 6 month old. Here's a few examples.
