Jordyn is 3!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

My sweet J is three today! I really can't believe that three years have come and gone since I took this picture! She was born just over two weeks early but was my biggest baby at just over 8 pounds. She had the yummiest cheeks and out of all my kids, she was born with the darkest hair. And she had more of it than the other two:) It was so neat because you could already see it curly right from the start. Miss J also made us worry the most. The day after she was born, the nurse found that she was breathing way too fast. The doc ordered tests and when he came to check on her, she was still breathing way too fast. He ordered even more tests which included blood taken from her arm. If you have never had to deal with that, you are lucky! It was absolutely horrible. I had to walk down the hall because she was screaming so much. Later that night, her daddy gave her a blessing that he cried through which in turn made me ball like a baby. But it was so sweet and tender and obviously all is fine with her now. It truly made for a stressful postpartum couple of days for us though. I don't know how parents do it when their brand new babies have to go into the NICU!
After her stressful start, Jordyn has been such a joy to have in our family! That first year went by fast and lots of family came to celebrate (even Grandma Great).

She turned into a little firecracker once she turned two. I love this picture because it looks just like Jordyn does now....just smaller.
Jordyn has the sweetest, funnest personality. She loves her sister and does everything that Makenna does. And I mean everything!! They love to play dress up together and run around outside. And the cutest thing that Jordyn loves to do is play with her figurines or cars. She will play for the longest time moving them back and forth along the couches. Or up and down the stairs in her little house. Or back and forth on the bed when she is supposed to be going to sleep. I really need to get a video of her doing it because it is so adorable to watch her and see her little imagination going. I watched her play in her room the other day and she was making them go up and down the books on her shelf that were laying flat. I asked her what they were doing and she said they were going up stairs....duh! She truly is the cutest!!
I love this picture of her because it really shows her personality:)
And I just had to add this picture of her because it's so cute. She will go around in just her underwear (or pull up if it's just after a nap) and not care. And of course this girl doesn't wear shoes. She will take them off the second we get in the car and it's hard to keep them on her even if we are outside or out somewhere!
I just love, love, love this little girl. I'm so glad she picked me to be her mommy. We love her so very much. Happy Birthday sweet J!!

Happy birthday!!! Your girls are SO CUTE!!! (where'd they get the curly hair btw? I secretly wish Caedyn's turns curly, even though I hated mine when I was younger . . . )

They all have beautiful hair. I think Aiden will, too, eventually--his Dad sure had nice wavy, curls...so did his Granpa M. That J.J. is just about the cutest I've seen. Never seen a young one that can entertain herself so well. That is a lucky thing. Make 'quiet time' a little easier. Steals my heart when she sees me in a crows and yells...."G R A N D M A!! Love it.
