I have talked about Jordan before. She is such an amazing and incredibly adorable little girl who just happens to have a limb difference.
I came across Jordan's blog, Born Just Right when I was pregnant with Gavin, and seeing Jordan's pictures made such a difference to me. It really helped me to realize that having a limb difference was not something that would define Gavin as a person. It would just be a small part of who he would be. And although he would have to do some things a bit differently, it didn't mean he wouldn't be able to do them. This was a huge turning point for me. No longer did I have to feel sad for my baby and mourn all the things he wouldn't be able to do. I started to realize that he would be just fine! So thank you, Jen, for starting "Born Just Right" and sharing Jordan's story with so many people. :)
Recently, Jordan had a very talented photographer, Rebecca Allen, spend some time at her school to capture some beautiful photos of Jordan in action.
A picture really is worth a thousand words.
Take a look! (Just drag the orange bar at the bottom of the page to scroll through the photos)

Born Just Right
When I was pregnant with Gavin, I came across Jordan's blog, "Born Just Right." I just wanted to share this with you because she is really an extraordinary little girl and her blog inspired me to start my own for Gavin.
During my pregnancy, I went through a lot of different emotions when we learned about Gavin's arm and it really helped me a lot to read about Jordan's adventures, see her pictures (She is SOOO adorable!!!) and videos of her in action.
I especially love THIS recent post about how she figured out how to use a knife & fork on her own!
Gavin is really into pretending to cook in his play kitchen. He recently became very interested in using the little plastic utensils to "cut" the plastic food. He concentrates very intently while he rests one of them on the end of his little arm and then holds the other in his right hand and scrapes it back & forth over the food.
They really do figure everything out.
