Catching Up on Kylee

Oh good golly...I don't even know where to begin with this cutie. I am so blessed to have our sweet Girly in our family. Kylee has a few nicknames: Ryan calls her Bug, I call her Girly, and Drew calls her Baby. But recently, Drew has called her by her actual name. So it depends on who is talking to her as to what name she is called. Kylee is usually such a happy, go with the flow, kind of girl. Unless it is close to nap time or feeding time, she never really gives me attitude. Now, the only exception is when she has a darn cold, she hates a plugged up nose, especially when she has to sleep with it! But who does.


She now has a total of 4 teeth. She got her bottom 2 the end of May and her top two just poked through this week. I didn't even know she was getting her first tooth until I saw it. She was a little cranky with her top 2 teeth coming in but she also got a cold too so I don't know which one was the culprit. She is a great eater and loves any kind of squash and in the fruit department she loves bananas, apples, and pears. She does like prunes but I hate what they do to her shirts when she spits up so she doesn't get them very often. She recently found a love for Cheerios and Puffs...Oh and cookies Drew likes to leave on the floor. Yes, she about choked on a little chocolate chip bunny cookie. She must have really wanted it because she beat the dog to it, which is very unusual.


Kylee LOVES to scoot everywhere, especially to the dog's food and water. It's actually quite amusing. No matter which is closest, she always knocks over the bowl with the food and just puts her had in the water bowl and plays with it. She is no longer allowed to be in her jumperoo, doctor's orders, but she kind of got bored with it last week and has found a love for her exersaucer. As long as she doesn't have a cold or a double ear infection, she is a great sleeper. She goes to bed between 7 and 7:30 and sleeps till 6:30 or 7:00. She loves to be outside on the grass which I find funny. Drew hated the grass at this age and we always had to have a blanket down. Not Kylee, she loves to play with the grass, pull it up, and yes, eat it. Hey, its just added fiber. Don't worry, I don't let her eat. She also likes the swings and had her first experience last week.


Let's see, she is just about ready to crawl. She gets up on all 4's and rocks and will do the motion's but won't move. She has actually been doing this for a while, so who knows when she will actually start crawling. She is in no hurry to grow up and I love it. I just wish her immune system would grow up a bit. She got a darn cold again and had it for 2 weeks until I took her to the doctor. She had a fever Sunday and Monday but I wasn't too worried because Drew had a fever Monday and Tuesday and then Ryan got one Wednesday and Thursday so I just assumed it was a virus. But when her fever was gone on Tuesday, her cough just seemed to be getting worse. Well, her doctor doesn't work on Wednesdays and I wanted to see him since he knows her history, so I took her in on Thursday. I almost didn't even take her in because she really seemed fine, just had a nasty cough but I thought to be safe because we are heading to UT in a few weeks. Well, low and behold, poor Kylee has a double ear infection and tons of mucus in her lungs. The doctor said her left side was so congested, he wasn't sure if it might be the start of pneumonia. Holy Cow was all I could say. Her one ear was so bad, the doctor was surprised she wasn't a crying mess. Kylee loves her doctor and nurse and was all smiles for them both. So now she is one 2 medications, one for her ears and a asthma steroid for her lungs. We get to see the doctor again in 10 days for a follow up and then again 10 days after that for her 9 month appointment. So yes, it's a good thing we have good insurance! That just shows you what a trooper Kylee is and how she doesn't let little things bother her except during nap time and bedtime, but I don't blame her one bit. Who wants to sleep with a nasty double ear infection!


So there's my HUGE long catch up on Kylee. I'm impressed if you made it this far. Anyways, here's hoping next week is a better week. PS: I took all these pictures today except for the one with her lying down with her blanket. That was on Sunday when she had a fever and was just so tired. She actually fell asleep there on the floor till I got the camera out. She was so tired even though it was only 6 PM!
