Crawling

Yes, you read correctly, Jordyn is crawling. It's not a very coordinated crawl yet, but she gets to where she wants to go, it just takes her a while to get there. In fact, sometimes her crawl is more like a lunge than a crawl. She'll get on her hands and knees and then leap forward, get back on her hands and knees and leap again. Occasionally, she'll move her legs in a true crawling motion. I wish I could show some video or pictures to go along with this and most my posts these days, but the in-laws don't have the programs for video, and I can't seem to find where my camera/computer cable got put when we packed. We're scheduled to close on our home the first part of April and hopefully soon after that I can update the photos.

Ode to Jordyn

Our little girl is six months old
She is still like clay ready to mold

She is very happy and bright
Even if she doesn't sleep through the night

She is always active and fun
Any day now she's going to get up and run

Jordyn is her daddy's pride and joy
Even if he calls her an expensive toy

She is definitely a mommy's girl
By my side she loves to curl

She knows how to charm with that toothless grin
She looks like a doll with dimples on her chin

Jordyn has a mind of her own
She's not afraid of letting it be known

When she smiles with her blue eyes bright
She makes even the worst days seem alright

I can't believe our little girl is six months old
Six months ago she was a newborn I could sit and hold

We Love You Jordyn!!

Love Mom and Dad

Our Home

Since moving to Houston, our life has begun to settle down a bit, and things have started to look more permanent so Erik and I began to look for a permanent residence (as of right now, we are living with his parents). A week ago, we started the process of buying this home (this is just a picture downloaded from the community website, our home has more of a red tint to the brick).

We started looking at homes when we were in Houston a few weeks ago. This home is in a planned community where they like to do build-your-own homes. It is already built and wasn't selling so they drastically reduced the price. It's a bit larger than we actually need right now, but it gives us room to grow. Our closing on the home is scheduled for March 28th, and we are very excited. Erik is still working on completing the steps necessary to start the police academy. He has a conditional offer, we're just waiting for the paperwork to be finalized. We miss all of our friends in New Orleans, but look forward to making new friends here in Houston.
