Wow, how did it already become mid-November? Wasn't it just Halloween? This month has been busy - I celebrated my 33rd birthday - my first one with Jordyn. All those years blowing out the candles and making wishes and she was finally there with me celebrating. It was the best present I could have received. I did get a new Coach bag, which was a pretty cool gift! Its purple - my favorite color!

This week Jordyn started daycare. We struggled with sending her for awhile but we finally had to give in. Our nanny found a full time position, and we couldn't afford her full time, so we had to come up with an alternative plan. Luckily we were able to find a center near the house that offered part-time programs for infants. She will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesday went better than I expected. Jordyn is so adaptable and loves playing with other kids, and thats exactly what she did all day. Her teacher said she refused her lunch, and only napped for an hour and 15 minutes, but was happy all day. She said it will take her some time to adjust to the new schedule and new surroundings but overall she did great. I am trying to change her schedule at home too so everything can be a little more streamlined. Today I gave her a sippy cup with milk along with her lunch around 1145. She used to get a bottle of formula at 1130 and then her lunch at 1230. But she's almost a year and we are transitioning from formula since she is getting all her nutrition from food. She did well with the change, so we'll see how it continues to go. I think she is getting great care there so I am happy about that. And I didn't even cry when I dropped her off. Yay for me!

The big birthday is coming up soon - on 12/6. We are having a party on the 7th at the house - I am really looking forward to it. I still cannot believe she is going to be 1!!
