2 months

Steph took Jordan to the doctor today.  Yesterday he had a temperature of 100.4 degrees.  We called the nurse hotline and they had us talk to a doctor.  We gave him some infant Tylenol and she told us to bring him in the next morning.  Apparently he is ok.  They ran tests and he will be off to daycare today.  It has been about a week now that he has been battling some nasal congestion.  We're getting a lot of stuff out of his nose with the aspirator bulb thingy.

He has his 2 month check-up this Friday.  Our first big question was answered today though as we weighed in just over 14 lbs.  Everything else seems like it is going well.  He, while inconsistent at times, is sleeping better and longer.  He is eating more and feeding are getting farther apart.  He is developing well.  I am moving on to new vowel sounds.  I am trying to teach him how to wave.  And he is figuring out that if he moves his arms enough while laying on his play mat that he will strike the "bug" and it will create music.  Some may think that all of this is coincidence, but we are convinced that Jordan is smarter than the average bear.

This weekend, I went to Wisconsin with the youth group.  It was the first night that I did not spend at home with him.  It wasn't "hard," but I definitely thought about him a lot and missed him very much.  I am glad that I went though.  I had a chance to reconnect and hang out with some of the senior highers and cennect with some of the younger kids as well.  I spoke Saturday night and I thought it went really well, so did the other leaders.  When it goes that well, I really know that God played a huge role.  I really feel that God has been using me these last 5 months in a positive way with the youth group.

I am sore today though because we played football Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours.  I am getting older, and the body just doesn't work as well as it should.  I need to start getting in better shape as I prepare for life with a kid running around.  After my performance on the field though, I feel good about being able to teach Jordan about how to throw and catch a football though.
