4 Months Old

Dear LiL Man,

Kayden, This past month has been a tough one for you and mama. You definitely had me scared because I did not know what was wrong. But I am glad to say that you are doing 100 % better now. You would not think that you were sick 4 days after your three month birthday.

Okay, enough about you being sick. On a happier note, you are growing up so fast. It is definitely making me sad seeing you grow up so quickly.

You love talking...You are definitely experimenting with your sounds. I just love hearing you.

I heard you laugh for the first time, and for some reason you will only do it for mama. Ive tried to get you to do it for Daddy, and you don't do anything. One day, he will hear you laugh. You just have the cutest laugh. It definitely puts a smile on my face hearing that little giggle coming from you.

You have discovered your tongue. You started sticking it out at mommy and grandma this past Saturday. You love playing with your tongue.

You started PreSchool this past month. You love it. You are starting to get more and more comfortable with being there. You love your teachers, and hanging out with your new friends.

You are sleeping majority of the night now. When you got sick you were sleeping 9 hours a night but you are back to your 6 hours then waking up then back to sleep until about 730. Every night before you go to sleep you have to have your bath. You will not let mommy or daddy let you go a night without it. You love your bath time.

You are growing up to be quite the lil man. You definitely look like your daddy...[which is not a bad thing at all =) ] You still have your beautiful blue eyes, the cutest smile with two little dimples. Your left dimple shows up more than your right side. When you get in a really big smile your right dimple shows up. I'm not sure how much you weigh right now, but when we were in the hospital you were at 17 pounds. So Im going to guess that you are most likely at 20 pounds =)

You have your four month well check this upcoming week. So I will know your measurements then. I love you LiL man. Thank you for always putting a smile on Mommy, Daddy's, and Sissy's face.

Speaking of Sissy, you love hearing her voice; you just light up when you hear her. You smile when she is touching you, you just cant wait to play with her.

Thanks for being such a fighter and such an amazing piece to our lil family.

Love you always and forever,
Mommy

both of them are slowly healing from this condition....

WORST month EVER!!!

I'm soo glad this month is over! I just really hope that August treats us a little better than the month of July did.

If you are wondering what happen to us this past month...(read here)
Basically to summarizes for you...
We all got sick at the beginning of the month. Chris most likely brought it home with him from work. We all woke up with Stuffy noses on tuesday morning, then all of sudden the body aches kicked in on wednesday. Well LiL Man got it the worst. He was coughing and sounded like a Seal Barking. He wasnt having a hard time breathing at this point but he was really congested. The next morning he woke up sound like he was having a really hard time breathing. I made a call into the doctors first thing that morning. She did not even have her computer on thats how early I called. Got in right away because she could hear him having a hard time breathing. =( At the doctors office, doing two breathing treatments and a steroid on him and next thing I know Im getting into an ambulance to go to the hospital. Kayden was admitted into the hospital for having croup.

If your not to sure about what Croup is. (Read Here) I would definitely look into it, especially if you have young children. It can be very deadly and its on arise right now. I think 10 other small children were admitted into the hospital along with us for it.

This is what it sounds like and this is what I mean about striding. If you look at the babies belly you can see it caving in. The baby is using his abdominal wall muscle to try to help him breath.


Sorry I'm not trying to scare anyone but I do want you to be aware of those horrible cough, and I don't want any
of you to have to go through what we went through this past month.


Anyways...Kayden is doing much better. Two weeks after get diagnosis for Croup. Kenzie starts coming down with it. She was striding, coughing like a seal and all that good stuff. I did not hesitate on taking her right into the ER. We were there until about 2am they gave her a breathing treatment and a steroid, then sent us home. She still has a cough but its not a barking cough, and still has a cold of some sort.

Chris and I can not wait to not have sick babies anymore. It definitely has put a toll on both of us, and I think our patience levels have definitely been put to the test.

This upcoming Month of August, we are looking forward to our vacation to Minnesota to see Nanni and Bumpa. It will be great to get away, and the cooler air might even help the kiddos with this condition. I am a little nervous to be flying with them with this condition but that is something I will be talking to the doctor about.

16 Months

Dear Miss Makenzie,
I have a feeling it's going to be a long one. I swear it feels like you change so much from week to week, so I can't even imagine how much you've changed in the last the last month.

You seem you sooo young compared to what I'm writing today. I don't even know where to begin. Okay, Lets start here....Talking, you TALK all the time and even if we can make out what you are trying to say, Im just waiting for the day when you actually start using your words. You are definitely going to be like your daddy, asking a million questions, and just talking to hear your voice..lol (I love you, babe) You understand commands, you can point to your nose, mouth, ears, and eyes (only when you feel like it) you clap when asked, you wave good-bye to everyone when they are leaving us, you shake your head yes or no when asked if you want a certain thing. You dont know your alphabet, your numbers just yet, but we are working with you on that.

You are definitely a big girl! You are weighing in at 30 pounds, although it does not look like it at all. You are wearing size 18 months all the way up to 3T. You are a very tall girl and very active. Daddy and I sometime have a hard time trying to get you to stay in one place for a long period of times. You just love being on the goooo...lol!

This past month you started Daycare. It was really hard for me to let you and brother go to daycare, because I was always home with you both. But since mommy is about done with school and going to start her new job (hopefully very soon) you and brother get to make new friends. Which you both love daycare, especially you because you get to play with kids your own age and you get to make cool little crafts.

You have lots of teeth. We definitely have to be careful if we stick our fingers in there. You have your first set of molars on top and on bottom. =) We think that you are teething for the last couple of weeks but I cant find any new teeth that have appeared just yet. You love brushing your own teeth but I think its more chewing on the brush than anything.

You love to eat. You definitely dont let mommy or daddy miss a meal for you. We have not found anything that you dont like to eat besides tomatoes. Maybe it was just that one day that you did not like them but as of right now you dont like them.

You are becoming more interested in watching TV these days. We have been letting you watch NickJr and that is pretty much it, and the reason for that is because its basically preschool on TV. You have been learning some things on that channel. You love books, even though you still dont let us read a full on book to you. I think you only let us get in about two pages and you take it from us and you are off.

You are sure growing up extremely fast my princess. I'm glad that I still get to be soo active in your life that I can see you develop as much as you are.

Happy 16 Months Birthday, Miss Makenzie!!

Love always and forever,
MoMmY
