Staying busy!

We have been staying busy. The kids started Mother's Day Out 2 weeks ago. Kylie absolutely loves it. They do all kinds of fun stuff each week. This week is water week so they get to play in sprinklers & baby pools. Conner really seems to enjoy it also. He is always laughing & playing when I pick him up. He smiles & "talks" all the way down the hall!

Kylie's fever update: It's been over a month since her surgery. She's eating so much better. She had a low grade fever on the 4th. I gave her Motrin immediately because we were leaving for dance pictures. It never came back. The next week, she had all the other symptoms but no fever! She was complaining of headache, leg aches. She was fighting sleep & all around moody & cranky. But no fever.... Still crossing my fingers for no more fevers.

Dance recital!

Crunchy stuff & 9 month check-up







Kylie was able to eat crunchy stuff again starting last Thursday. She was so very excited. She had 2 bowls of Kix & then toast for breakfast. She started behaving so much better & playing again. I think she was so cranky because she was hardly eating anything. She's been an angel....until today :) She was pretty bad today. She said her head & legs hurt. I read many stories about tonsillectomy's for the periodic fevers & many parents say that the fevers go away after the surgery but all the other "symptoms" still show up periodically. While this makes me sad that she could still have these "symptoms" every 4 weeks. I will be very thankful if the fevers themselves stay away. Only time will tell.

Last Wednesday we went to play at Jamie's house with Addie & Jack. After Conner's nap he found a dead spider & ate it. He had 2 legs on his face & I got one leg out of his mouth. The rest went down. I was horrified & disgusted. The doctor didn't even know what to do so I had to call Poison Control. They said any dead spider is fine. You're in trouble if a LIVE poisonous spider bites you. So, after all this, I got the van packed up and went into the kitchen to fill up Kylie's cup. I walked back into their living room and Conner was sitting on the couch. All by himself! He stepped onto a child's chair & somehow got himself onto the couch with both toys that he had been playing with. Neither of the girls saw him because Dora was on the television..........

We had Conner's 9 month check up last Thursday. He's perfectly healthy & has met all of his milestones. He's 28 in. long & 20 lbs 7 oz. Kylie was 29.5 in & 20 lb 10 oz at her 9 month appointment.

Kylie's dance recital is Saturday. I cannot wait to see how that goes!

Yes, she picked him up!
