Our little trooper! Not only had Jordyn been battling all that stuff - ear infection, allergic reaction - but she was in fact teething, too. We will try to get a good picture but her top two teeth have now broken free of the gum. Man, all that going on and still she barely let us know. She's one tough cookie. And, she can pull herself up by herself and she will do it on anything! She is getting very strong and we are sure its only a (short) matter of time before that girl is walking. She has been doing squats on her toys, slowly lowering herself down while holding on and then standing back up - its pretty cute :)
Jordyn also will follow us if we leave a room. She is lightning fast at crawling and will go after us when we walk. Its so funny, she seems so big when we are holding her and playing right with her but when we look down at her as she is crawling after us she looks soooo small!

**Update** Jordyn sure is putting us through the ringer! Yesterday she had some hives which have overnight spread all over her body. It turns out she is allergic to penicillin, which was in the amoxicillin she was taking for her ear infection. She doesn't seem to be bothered by the rash but it looks awful and could take up to a few weeks to go away. Poor thing!

Things are happening so fast these days its hard to keep up! Over Memorial weekend, Jordyn met her uncle Bryan who visited from North Carolina (pics on our family blog - link to the right). That weekend Jordyn ran a fever of about 102. We made our first trip back to the hospital since she was born but were told it was a virus and we went home. Tuesday we saw her doctor and discovered that she had a nasty ear infection and then Wednesday we were back at the doctor to find out she had Roseola (sp?) and thrush! It kept Lauren out of work for two extra days, but Jordyn was fighting a bunch and it took its toll. She was very cuddly, sensitive and took a lot of naps. But she is a trooper - once again she didn't complain that much so we didn't have an inkling it was an ear infection.
Now that she's feeling better she has made it her mission to stand. She is pulling herself up a lot and over the last few days can almost do it without extra support from us. Mommy and Daddy are now just jungle gyms and she splits her time playing with toys and the turning around to climb on us. She has also started to take steps when we hold her hands. She's also back to sleeping better through the night, and loves saying 'dadadada'. Go Jordyn!
Oh yeah, and we forgot to even mention Mother's day - Lauren and Jordyn's first! It was a good day just spending time together. Jordyn made Lauren a plant at daycare, it is the first one Lauren has not killed and its still blooming. We will get a pic on soon, it was very cute. Jordyn also got Mommy a gift certificate to get a massage which Lauren is looking forward to using.
