This is his favorite toy.
This is a good sample of some of the stuff he can do. He can get his hands to his mouth, but never sucks his thumb. He can make noises, he can kick off the blanket, and he can tear up his face while trying to get rid of the cannula.
On Saturday, Jordan made a mess in his diaper. In fact, the diaper couldn't hold it all. Anyone who has spent enough time around babies has been there. I had to change everything that he got to. As a result, for the first time since July 9th, he was totally naked. Ever since his birthday he's never gone a few seconds without xtra oxygen, or sensors on his chest or usually both. Even his baths were with a cannula. Saturday, he was totally nekkid. As you can see above, he looks completely different without it on his face.
It is getting so much easier having a cordless baby. About 5 pounds ago he would spend an entire week in our bedroom and wouldn't leave except to take a bath in the adjoining bathroom. Now, when we get home, we unhook him from the tank and spend several hours out of the bedroom. He watches us cook dinner, or read, or watch TV. We don't let him watch yet, but he REALLY wants to watch. We even spent Sunday putting the finishing touches on the nursery. We never 100% finished because we would never consider him sleeping in there before he was off the oxygen. Now, we let him nap in there. As soon as the doctors get rid of the damn monitor, he's moving to his own place. His parents could use some alone time.

Two months ago, I was so anxious to see Jordan without the cannula that I used editing software to remove it. Wow. He looks great without the hardware. You video was superb except your fingers are in the middle and your face is at the end.
A smile!! Such a cutie patootie...I have a new desktop! And Mr Speilberg's (dude, what were you doing up at 4 in the morning??) comments aside, the video was great- I can hear that his lungs have definitely gotten stronger!
Good point! What kind of unemployed loser stays up until 4am looking a videos of kids playing with themseles? Usually the type of loser that we see on Dateline NBC 4 nights a week!
He looks so cute! I love seeing my little guy's face without the tubes!
