Jumpin Jordyn

Happy Holidays!!! Before we go through all the Xmas photos, we'd just like to share a video of the jumper Aunt Barb and Uncle Bill brought me.

Here it is: Jordyn Opatrny featuring music by GSF (Green Sea Floyds)

It's Been Awhile!

Sorry we haven't been able to update lately. We've all been sick or really busy the past month. Mommy was studying for her finals, Daddy is now working in Dayton, and I am still trying to get over a double ear infection. I've been a bit crabby lately, but I still managed to pull off some cute photos.



Like THIS one for instance!



You like my new hat mommy bought me?



I'm actually usually pretty clean when I eat, but man was I starving in this picture, and mom couldn't shovel fast enough.



This is my cousin Jake. We played together at Grandma & Grandpa's on Thanksgiving.



Then we went to Uncle Pat and Aunt Kelly's house for the Michigan vs. OSU football game. Ohio State won again, of course, but I also wore my Michigan socks to help cheer with mommy and Uncle Pat.



Here I am with my handsome daddy. He is about to use me as a tuba. Watch the video below!





This was a lazy movie day. We were watching "A Goofy Movie" here on the floor.



I love my mommy! In fact, sometimes I think that she has left the universe when I can no longer see her. BUT... if I yell loud enough and long enough, she'll know how to find her way back to me.



Well, here I am after I found out about my ear infection. The doctor pulled out lots of wax. I felt just well enough for mom to snap a photo.



See, this is how the doctor did it.......



A few days later, I was feeling good enough to smile again.



Now I can get back to my military crawl around the house. I ALMOST got the hand over hand thing down. I've been brave enough to try it out here and there.

My Baptism

This past weekend was my baptism. Our families from Michigan and Pennsylvania came to celebrate with me. About 5 minutes after my grandma H. arrived, she found my first 2 teeth! My mom and dad hadn't even noticed yet! Take a look at some of my baptism photos:



We are all a bunch of Daddy's Girls!



Some of the Opats!



Uncle Bill and Aunt Barb are my godparents!



Me and my sister, Cora



Well hi there



Thank you all for coming! I know some of you weren't feeling well, but I was so happy to see you.



Father Fred sang to me as he poured the water over my head. I found him fascinating.



Here I was, just waiting my turn. There were a few other babies being baptized at the same time.



That about wraps it up for the church pictures. We then went to a party center by grandma and grandpa's house. Everyone was very generous and I appreciate EVERY gift I received! I can't wait to wear my new jewelry! I LOVE my personalized jewelry box! My new Glow Worm is really cool and very calming at night! Mom and Dad and I are also very happy to add to my college fund too! Thank you all for coming!!!!

Love,
Jordyn

Halloween

For Halloween, I didn't really dress up much. It was cold outside, so mom and I went to the neighbor's house to say "trick or treat," and then we went back home to pass out candy. Mom put a sign on the front door that told all of the kids to say "Happy Birthday!" She did that because it was also my daddy's birthday! Almost EVERYONE that came to the door actually said it! Here are a couple pictures of my first Halloween:

Five Month Fun

Hi everyone! I've been having a great time exploring this huge world around me! Recently, we took a trip to the Great Lakes Science Center. It was me, my mom, my dad, and my sister! On our way home, she made me laugh so hard. I didn't even know that I could do that! Enjoy the science center pictures:




This ball just kept floating in mid air! I wish I had one of these at home!



The sand was moving into little dunes. It was cool because the whole thing was vibrating.



I don't know who likes this place more, me or my dad!



Woah! There's a tornado in the water!



Dad carried me through the clouds!



I enjoyed watching the water swirl around and around!



Here are some other pictures to share:



Here I am just chillaxin with my doggie.



My friend Cindy came to babysit while mommy was studying for her audiology exam.



Grampyo is growing out his beard. Maybe he can be Santa Claus for Halloween!



I went to visit my new cousin, Dominic. I hung out with grandma a lot too!



Here I am with my other cousin, Lexis



I am going to get baptized on November 7th! Look at the pretty dress Grandma H. got for me!



J & J! This is one of my many crazy uncles!

Getting So Big!

A very important message from Jordyn!




I just started my first rice cereal. Sure it went everyhwere... yeah, I grabbed the spoon and stuck it in my eye... but it tasted delicious!




We went to a beautiful wedding in New York recently. It was lots of fun and I got to stay up late.




Here we are all spiffy for our portrait.




Everyone wanted to hold me at the wedding. I liked this guy. He's an old friend of daddy's.




Here I am cuddling with Aunt Cheryl.




My grandpa loves me :-)




I tried to get off the couch today so I could go and explore, but mom put the coffee table in my way!




Daddy took this sneaky picture. Boy were WE tired after a nice LONG night.




I'm just chillin' out in my super awesome swing.

Four Months Old

Hi everyone! Summer is coming to an end and soon it will be fall. We have lots of things to look forward to! My cousin Dominic will be born very soon and I can't wait to go see him. Mom and Dad are taking classes for my baptism this month and I'll be hanging out with Mommy's friend Janette. Her boys really like me and I like them too. I'm not sure when the date is for my baptism yet, but I'll let you all know soon. I also can't wait for my first Halloween :-) That is also my daddy's birthday! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:



Can we be friends?



Has anyone seen my pacifier?



Daddy thinks mommy spoils me!



My new exersaucer! I can JUST barely touch the bottom with my left big toe!



My first baseball game!



Getting my beauty sleep!
