"Every time I walked I heard the little rollers coming behind me," Jordyn said. "And I’d turn around and she was side-eyeing me to the extreme."

“I think she was more just like—curious than anything," said her aunt. "She was 5 or 6 months when I lost all my hair; she reacted the same exact way."
People seemed to love the photos, and a lot of people turned the curious baby into a meme.

Jordyn said that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and epilepsy this past year. “I’ve had just a bunch of health problems," she said. Her life has changed very dramatically, very rapidly.
"A couple months ago I had to withdraw from school. I had to come home," Jordyn, who was studying to become a pediatric nurse, said.
"I went from being a full-time student to not being able to drive, or take a bath, or walk up stairs."
Jordyn said that ~going viral~ has drawn a larger audience to her blog — where she writes about her life, including her pup trainee, Tucker.
“It was really uplifting," Jordyn said of the attention. "I’m still kind of in shock. It definitely makes you feel very supported."
As for Amina, her mom, Taylor Smith, told BuzzFeed News that— although her daughter isn't aware of her fame — she anticipates that she'll appreciate the memes when she's older.
