Memory Lane

It's 2:00 a.m., and I can't sleep. So, I've been trolling our old babyjellybean blog. It's hard to remember, sometimes, just how little my T used to be. She always looked so much older than she was to me. I look back at these pictures, and realize just how much of a baby she was.

I particularly like this photo, taken when she was learning to walk. The tongue sticking out and the proud look on her face, as she is actually walking, albeit with a little help, is priceless.

One of the reasons that I started tonight's night-owl stroll down the lane, is that I was reading about another little girl getting a helmet like T used to wear when we first came home from China. Had to go back and look at T's old pics. They just make me smile!

For anyone new, T had 2 helmets b/c the first place I went to didn't fit her correctly. I think T got another little girl's flowered helmet by mistake..."Taylor Jordan Norman" was that child's name, fitted on the same day as my Taylor X. Jordan. What are the odds of that? Anyway, the flowered one never fit T right, so I went to the competition at Cranial Technologies, and got a totally different shaped helmet...proving my point! (neither of which were covered by insurance, grrr). The new place actually took a cast of T's skull, vs. the other place that did a laser imaging measurement.

Anyway, the things did the trick, and T's little head is much better. All her parts (ears, jaw, eyes) are better aligned, which will be less potential pain in her future from TMJ and the like.
