Cali still has yucky green stuff coming out of her nose so I took her to the Dr. this morning. Turns out she just has a cold and there isn't much you can do about it. The Dr. said it can take weeks for an infant to get over the cold.
His suggestions : humidifier (check), saline solutions (check) and a nasal aspirator (check).
Why did I have to pay $25 for the Dr. to tell me to keep doing what we are already doing?! Since this is our first rodeo we don't know what can be fixed with meds and what just has to run its course. I'm sure by kid #5 a runny nose won't even raise an eyebrow!

More Firsts
It has been a busy couple days of firsts in the Jordan House!
Cali ate her first cookie/cracker. She liked it a lot! It was an organic wheat teething cracker. Harley even did great when it fell on the floor and she ignored it! We are trying to postpone Cali feeding the dogs as long as possible.
Cali also had her first sit up bath with toys! She really liked the cup we used to pour water on her and she enjoyed eating her rubber duck!
The other first is Cali's first cold. She has a yucky runny nose. You can tell she doesn't feel good because she is really clingy and doesn't want to play by herself. Nick got her a humidifier for her room to help keep the drainage soft. It seems to work well because her nose oozes snot all morning.
One more... Cali took a 2 hour and 20 minute nap in her pack n play at work today! I didn't know what to do with myself. I even went in to make sure she was still breathing after 2 hours. I think she slept so long because she is sick.
It seems like as soon as we figure her out she changes. Today long naps tomorrow - driving.

Catalyst Conference
The Jordan family went to Atlanta! We loaded up and left Wednesday afternoon and got back late last night. We went down for Catalyst. It is a Christian leadership conference with amazing speakers like: Andy Stanley, Rob Bell, Tony Dungy, Louie Giglio, and Dave Ramsey. Worship was lead by Fee Band! It was a great "mountaintop" experience for us. Nick and I needed a little refueling!
Cali did AMAZING!! She could not have been more perfect! The ride down took 7.5 hours and only had some whining. The conference was all day Thursday and Friday. Cali spent the day people watching, playing, eating and sleeping. We sat by a door so we could make quick exits if she was loud, but rarely had to run out. How she slept through the LOUD worship sets I have no idea. The only challenge was finding a place to nurse with the arena filled with 13,000 people! But we managed to find quiet hallways and stairwells. Everyone loved Cali and commented on how cute and well behaved she was! The ride home last night took 7 hours and only had 1 crying fit!

What did you wear to church today?
The Jordan family wore their camos!
The church youth group are starting a new series this week "Fight the Good Fight" so we all dressed up in our camos to promote the new theme!
I had on my Dad's old pants, Nick got some from the Army Surplus store and Cali's pants came from the boys section of Old Navy.
I thought we looked cute!

Play Date
Cali and I had a play date on Saturday with my friend Emily and her son Spencer. Emily and I went through the MBA program at Elon together and were pregnant at the same time. It was wonderful to have her as a friend to help me through Elon and being preggers! Spencer is just a few weeks older than Cali so it is fun to see how they each develop and grow.
We played at Emily's house for a while then went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. It was cute to have the 2 kids in high chairs eating with us. Then we went to Babies-R-Us for some fun baby shopping! That place in dangerous! It was a super fun time and I think the kids enjoyed it to.
Here are pictures of them playing together. They did a very good job of sharing toys. Cali did try to bully him for Mr. Duck, but we told her she had to share!

Lights On Lights Off
Cali was getting fussy while we were making dinner so this was Nick's solution to keep her busy.
