Snow time

Once the last snowstorm was over - I had to get out of the house - Even just for a minute. This is what we looked like as we said hi to the neighbors and got the mail.

Eye Color

Still blue but now with a hazel ring aroung the pupils. Her hair is also coming in blonde. Funny how she had dark eyes and black hair when she was born. This is the same baby - right?

Two types of laughs

The first one is the snort. It's hard to hear but she breathes through her nose very fast when she giggles then snorts. (Note: I am not bouncing her - She's jumping on me)




The second is the full on belly laugh. She loves to watch Cody play especially when he growls at his toy. (Note: She was just outside - that's why the hat was on)

6 Months!

How did this happen so fast? 1/2 a year already? I am so lucky to have her as my daughter. She is so good and is so much fun to play with.

Working from home today

With my little helper .

Back to Happy

Kaitlyn is feeling much better and has been taken care of by grandma these past few days. (No daycare on Grandma's clock when there are sick babies)

She has a new way to guarantee smiles - Clicking.



So more snow coming in? Rejected!

Ups and Downs

Right now the little lady bug is feeling a lot better but this was before a 102.7 fever and her acting delirious and completely out of it. (holy scary!) I held her in my arms all day and she just woke up to a super sweat. I'm hoping that was the fever breaking b/c after her bottle she is all smiles.

Sick little girl

I got a call from daycare yesterday that she had a 102.5 fever! I rushed over there to get her and bring her home. I felt like the worst mommy in the world having her there. I brought her to the Dr later and they said she must have caught a virus. I have been giving her Tylenol and her fever ranges anywhere from 99 - 101 now. She is quiet today and wants to be snuggled but still gives her bright smiles.

Binky Graveyard

Kaitlyn's binkies have been disappearing. We pulled out her crib today to find the binky graveyard. There were actually more than this pic is showing. Maybe that's what bumpers are for.

New Pictures!

I have the Best Neighbors

People poo poo Franklin but honestly - I love it - especially with the amazing neighbors I have. They are always so nice to say hello or ask how everything is. I have come home so many times to newspapers being brought up, trash cans being replaced, or sidewalks being cleared of snow. Lou, Diane, Walter, Linda and Loretta - Thank you.

A VERY special thank you to Solomon and his family for clearing my driveway and apron these last two snow storms. My back and pelvis thank you too :)

Rolling Rolling Rolling

I mentioned a few weeks ago that she was rolling. She is JUST about ready to crawl. She makes the movements and just needs to coordinate her arms and legs now.

Anyway, I took this video of her last night playing and then me grabbing her as she rolls off of rug.

Enjoy.

My baby girl is sick

But she is still happy. She is super stuffed up and has this horrible dry cough. The last two nights she has been getting up at 3:00am and coughing like crazy. I have the humidifier on too. Last night, we couldn't get her back to sleep - even after a nose suction, wash rag nose dig, and a binky replace(not that she could breathe well with it in). I ended up having her in bed with me in my arms sitting upright while we both fell asleep. I got to scrunch down a bit but I had her in a death grip so I didn't worry about her rolling off the bed. She slept pretty good but I was a nervous wreck she wasn't breathing well.

She's getting extra TLC from Grandma today with super snuggles. If she is like this tomorrow - no day care for her!

No matter how bad my day is

Coming home to this wipes the slate clean.
