Sick Face Part 2

Ok, so she just woke up again. Man, this is the saddest thing ever! I just wish I could make her feel better, or better yet, transfer her sickness to me instead! When I was rocking her and tickling her back, she kept on saying "Pep-ah" as in Pepper. Poor baby just wants her doggy! She seriously loves Pepper and I think it's so cute that she says "Pepper."

She also says "Mama," "Daddy" and "ball." As long as she doesn't start saying "No" I'm all for the talking! :)

I'm thinking this is going to be a long night...

Sick Face

Our little KK is sick. She woke up Sunday morning very congested/snotty, had a terrible cough and had a fever. Plus, she was waking up crying in the middle of the night. All. Night. Long. It hasn't gotten better over the past two days, so we decided enough is enough, it's time to go to the doctor. I have been on jury duty for the past 3 weeks so our schedule has been thrown off quite a bit and I don't have any freedom to take KK to the doctor. Tyson was kind enough to step in and take her after school today. At the doctor she had a 102.1 temp and they found an ear infection in both ears. She is back on antibiotics and we have to use both Tylenol and Motrin as well as Little Nose decongestion drops and saline drops. That will help with her icky nose in the mornings. Kaylynn was not a fan of that whole drop/medicine process tonight, but she survived. She already woke up once and she has only been down for 2 hours. This could be a long night as Dr. Campbell said this sickness will peak on day 4, which will be tomorrow. We shall see.

I refuse to take pictures of her while she is sick, because, let's be honest, she doesn't look her best. Her eyes are so sad and her nose is so red, so here is a picture from last week while we were having fun in the bath.

Check out KK's best Gene Simmons impersonation!

Dr. Campbell told us at our 1 year visit to take pictures soon because once KK starts walking, she will have bumps and bruises everywhere! Boy was she right! Check out the shiner on her chin.

Walk It Out

It's official. KK is walking. ALL OVER THE PLACE. While it's super cute that she walks, I'm having a hard time "Keeping up with Kaylynn!" I think I may be more exhausted now than when she was first born! I feel like I constantly need to have one eye on her at all times. We ended up getting a gate so that we can block her in a "safe" area because she was getting into the electronics, dog bowls and I found her in the bathroom one day. So we block off an area in the family room so it allows her to play in her bedroom too. It's the only way I can get anything done around the house. While it's hard getting video of her walking, I forced myself to take some today.

Move over Mia Hamm

There is a new soccer player in town. Her name is Kaylynn Sylvia!

Like I've said before, KK loves her soccer balls, probably more than her other toys. Since it was such a beautiful day out, 75 and sunny to be exact, we took advantage and went outside to play soccer.

She's getting so good at dribbling the ball! Daddy is so proud!

Never Say Never

I've said "NEVER" way too many times in my life, and I'm learning quickly to never say never.

First off, I always said I'd never have a kid.

Exhibit 1, my kid.

Then I said I'd never put my daughter in pink.

Exhibit 2, Kaylynn at 1 day old in pink. That didn't take me long!

Then I said I'd never put a bow in her hair.

Exhibit 3, I'm proud to say that it took me almost 6 months to put a bow in her hair.

Then I said I'd never EVER EVER (and I meant it) put her in a tutu.

Exhibit 4, 'nuf said.

I know I'm going to get a lot of slack for this tutu, but I couldn't resist. A parent from Ty's class made it for her and even put soccer ribbon throughout, so I figured, with it being a soccer tutu, it wasn't "too" girly!
