Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we got up this morning it was snowing! Since we have to drive over the mountain for church, we decided we weren't going to chance it, so we let Kylie go out and play for a minute to see how she would react to the snow. She really liked it! Here are a few pictures of Kylie playing in the snow this morning:

Her daddy built her a snowman!

What is she thinking?

It is so funny to watch Kylie sometimes. Today I just sat and watched her, wondering what was going through her head. She was watching a Praise Babies video that a friend of ours gave her. There was a toddler who climbed up a jungle gym and then slid down the slide. When she went down the slide Kylie laughed out loud so hard! She thought it was so funny. Then later today she had a dirty diaper, I picked her up and said "shew, you stink" and again she laughed histerically. The things she watches and laughs at amaze me. Sometimes I just wonder what she is thinking...

Kylie's 1/2 Birthday

Kylie turned the big 1/2 year old on 2/17...TIME FLIES!!!!!!! I can't believe that my baby is growing up so fast. We went to lunch with some friends after bible study on her 1/2 birthday. She was sitting in her high chair at Chili's and picked up the menu in front of her. It looked like she was trying to pick out what she was going to eat. Here is a pic of her reading the menu. :)

These are a few of my favorite things....

Right now Kylie's favorite things are bath time and being naked! Here are some pictures of her doing her favorite things...

Her first kiss! :) She likes to suck the water off of the ducks lips.

This is Kylie enjoying her Valentines present from Mommy and Daddy. We were changing her clothes and decided to let her lay in the floor and play with the toy while she didn't have her clothes on. She loved it!

A Cold...No, RSV.....No Bronchiolitus

Sorry for the hiatus from the blog but we have had some kind of week. On Sunday Kyle and I were both extremely sick with what we thought was food poisoning. It turns out it may have been a virus instead, but either way it was the worst we have been sick in a very long time.

Kylie had what we thought was the crud last weekend. It kept getting worse and moved into her chest so on Tuesday I took her to the doctor. He thought she had RSV, turns out she tested negative so then he said it was bronchiolitus. We were doing a medicine by dropper and breathing treatments. It was great fun! Acutually I do have to say that she handled the breathing treatments a lot better than I thought she would considering all of the horror stories I have heard about giving them to kids. She got a lot better by the end of the week but she had quit eating. She would scream every time she even saw her bottle. Thankfully she started eating again today so hopefully we will be back to normal by next week.

Kylie LOVES Carrots!

Kylie has been eating cereal for over a month now and has been eating baby food for about three weeks. Tonight we gave her carrots for the first time and she LOVED them. It was the first time that she finished the entire jar of baby food, and she still wanted more when it was gone. So far we have tried squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and carrots. She hated the green beans, every time I put them in her mouth she gagged herself until she threw up (this happened three nights in a row). Now I will just have to make sure not to give her too many carrots or she will turn orange...

And then there were Two....TEETH!

This week we have hit a major milestone. We got our first tooth. I was excited about one and the very next day I went to look in her mouth and there were two! I couldn't believe it. It just keeps reminding me that she is growing up so fast. Because of the teeth we are now having trouble with the bottle. All she wants to do is rub the nipple of the bottle against her bottom teeth. I may have to start transitioning to a cup.

Also, this week she is totally changing her nap schedule. We were on a three naps a day system but this week she has cut it to two LONG naps. Her morning nap is lasting a little over three hours. Do you know how much I can get done in three hours. I will tell you how much, I am blogging for the first time since October. :) Now if she would only sleep through the night. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
