So... Jordyn is now truly walking. She loves it and walks everywhere. But she still likes to hold our hands which makes us feel good ;).

We still wouldn't call it walking yet, but Jordyn is taking lots of steps on her own. She is getting much more brave. And she has said 'mom'! Well, she is making the sound but we are not quite sure she knows what she is saying, just like some of her other "words".
Jordyn has also had some dry skin patches on her face that we have been trying to figure out. They are inconsistent, and we thought they might be heat related, but it may just be that she has really sensitive skin. We are trying a different lotion which seems to be helping so we will see how it goes. There are other photos we will try to post soon, and her 1 year birthday is next month - can you believe it? - so she will be getting pictures done around then that we will put up. Time flies, doesn't it?

She did it! Jordyn walked. She took as many as 5 steps on her own unassisted! And we have a third witness - Kristin was over. Jordyn was so proud of herself she was like a madwoman just zooming between Lauren and Aaron, walking without help. That was Friday. She took a few steps yesterday but is still not ready to go for it. Mommy and Daddy are okay with that - take your time, Jordyn, there's no rush!

Well, Jordyn has experienced her first earthquake. And she slept right through. At about 1am this morning a 4.5 earthquake hit pretty near us - they say 4 miles NNW of Chatsworth.
While we are at it, we must mention that a few days ago Jordyn took her first steps. Well, she was standing up and we let go and she took two steps. Did it twice but hasn't since. She is getting better and stronger and walks with a push toy at daycare so it probably won't be long now. Its pretty scary, she's getting so big!

Just a few pics... Jordyn's first plane ride:

Jordyn made friends with a group of teenagers while we were listening to some street performers' band and one of the boys put his sunglasses on her and I thought it was so cute I had to make him take a picture.
