Update on Us

I have not done well lately keeping up with this, but I am doing my best to keep my head above water somedays! So here are the updates:

Me: I am officially unemployed, well except by two perfectly beautiful little girls! I love being a stay-at-home mom, some days are longer than others but its so great to have nothing to do but be with them and manage the house. I would like to say I am doing ok with the managing the house part, I have gotten some laundry done, emptied the dishwasher a few times, cooked dinner twice this week and kept the house relatively picked up!!

Kennedy Jane: She is doing awesome with potty-training, she still has accidents but overall she is really doing well! I was just totally over changing 2 year old diapers so we started with her potty seat and she really did well but wasn't comfy on the big potty. Mom and I traveled to Auburn to close on Nonnie's house so I just took the potty chair along and pulled over when she had to go and she did fantastic! Then we were in Jackie & Rick's store and Mom convinced her that it was cool to tee-tee on the blue water (from the cleaner in the tank) and she went for it! So being the creative mommy that I am, when we got home I used the tablets that color her bathwater and let her put those in the big potty and she has been using it ever since!!

Kallie: She is doing great and her skin is looking so much better! Last weekend I noticed that her eyelids looked really red and swollen so we went to see the pediatrician and found out that she had another staph infection. We started treating it with Keflex and it has seemed to not only improve her eyelids but also her diaper rash that I just could not get to clear up completely. I had to cut out dairy b/c we determined she has a sensitivity and that helped some with the rash but this knocked it out all the way so I think that it was a combo. I have done my best to cut out dairy completely but its hard and she doesn't seem to be bothered with the little bit that I have! Her skin is really looking good, her back is about as perfect as it is going to get I think and her belly is close behind. The collodion is finally starting to come off her arms and legs and they look great where its gone from. She is still working on losing her hair, her hairline just keeps moving further and further back but that's getting better too! She seems to be in a better mood since starting the Keflex so I think she is just feeling better in general! She is really smiling and talking a lot and its so so cute!! She is sleeping well too, goes to be around 9-9:30 and wakes around 3-4 and then again around 6-7 so that's a pretty good stretch!

The family is doing well!! I found this Bible verse that I just love:
Raise up a child in the way she should go and when she is old she shall not depart from it - Proverbs 22:6

Kallie's 2mo Pedi Appt

Stats:
12lbs 9oz -- 90%
25.25in -- OFF THE CHARTS!

She is growing so well, the doctor was pleased. She has gained over 4lbs and grown 4in in two months!

She got two shots and an oral vacc and boy was she pissed, she cried for a long time. We go back at 4mo!

We did determine that she has a sensitivity to dairy and so I have to cut all dairy out of my diet which is proving to be quite a challenge. You just don't realize how much stuff has some form of dairy in it and oh how I love my cheese and ranch dressing! But whatever it takes for my princess!
