3 Months and we are still kicking!

Three doctor visits in five days, and Bailey came out of the virus okay.... One of those visits was precautionary, by the way! Long story short - we took her in first because she had a rash, discharge from the eyes and was congested. No ear infection at that time. Then, I was convinced Bailey had an ear infection a few days later due to her fussiness, so I took her into an urgent care on a Saturday night to find out, she was perfectly fine - just fussy from being sick. Of course Eric was out of town during the weekend, but my parents came to the rescue and helping me with the girls during all of this!

Bailey is definitely different from Kya. She will let you know if she is uncomfortable and wants to be held 24/7 if she is feeling bad. Kya would be perfectly happy and have the flu! We are just learning her cues I guess!

Bailey is now a whopping 13 pounds and still smiling and cooing. She does not really care for tummy time, but we try to get some time in each day to strengthen those neck and core muscles. She is also sleeping from 11:30-7:00 or later, which has been fabulous. She was still sleeping through the night even when she was sick, and would only wake up if she was coughing. Babywise and our day care teachers are amazing!

Sweet smiles!

Kya is becoming more and more like a little girl! The other day she told me I had to hold Bailey because her and Daddy needed to concentrate. They were building some stores with her blocks and Bailey was getting in the way. I am so impressed with her vocabulary and her ability to use words correctly. I know everyone thinks their children are geniuses, but I really think she is! :). She still only likes to wear dresses and frequently wears her dress-up dresses on the weekends everywhere we go. I forget she is dressed like Cinderella until someone mentions how much they like her dress. She loves her little sister and constantly tries to hug or love on her. I hope that they are the best of friends in spite of the three and a half year gap.

And here are some pictures from Easter!

Bailey's (and Kya's) Accomplishments!

So, Bailey has been busy lately! Here are the latest as of her 10 weeks of life:

1. She laughed for me a few days ago, which sounded like a man laugh, but it was cute nonetheless.

2. She has found her voice, and was making high pitched squealing sounds two days ago. Kya and I were cracking up, but Eric said it looked Bailey was really angry when she was making the squealing noises. It was hilarious, and I guess Bailey was mad we were laughing at her.

3. She slept 8 hours last night on her 10 week birthday!!!!!!!!! Kya also slept through the night at 10 weeks. I am so blessed with great sleepers! She's been sleeping for 5-6 hours at a time at night, but last night was awesome! I wrote a thank you note to her teachers for helping keep her on her schedule! Babywise has really worked for our family - I am a true believer in it!

4. She hates tummy time, but can roll from her back to her side. She has almost rolled completely over a few times.

5. 6:30-7:00 is her fussy time. She can be dead asleep, and at 6:30 she will wake up and begin screaming. It's truly amazing to me.

Kya has continued to be a great big sister and wow everyone with her great manners. I took her to her first wedding shower this past weekend, and she wore her Cinderella dress. She was so well-behaved and helped get all the presents to the bride-to-be. She wanted to be the only one helping, but I had to explain that she had to let other people help. I love that girl - she is awesome!

Two Months!!!

Bailey was two months on March 28th! She did great at her appointment with three shots and the rotovirus drink thing. She barely cried - I was so proud of her! The doctor kept laughing at how much she was moving around as she tried to check her out. It was a huge improvement from her screaming at her two week appointment.

The stats:
11 lbs 3 oz: 46th percentile
22.5 inches: 52nd percentile
Don't know head circumference, but it was 73rd percentile!

We are so thankful for a great report, and she has been doing awesome. She slept six hours straight last night. I was so proud of her (and thankful for the extra sleep!). She has continued smiling, cooing, and kicking around. I was so nervous about her transition to daycare, but she has done really well, and the ladies have done a great job of keeping her close to the schedule I had her on. I am so thankful for them.

Kya has been battling a sinus infection caused by some virus for about a month, but after her second antibiotic, she is finally kicking it! This time of year is really hard on her, but I think we finally know what to do to get her cleared up. We have a great PA at her ENT, too! Thankfully, she did not have an ear infection, which is awesome because her tubes are on their way out and not functioning anymore, so that was some great news about her! She's still super sweet and great with Bailey. Bailey just smiles at her and pays attention any time Kya is around. I hope they are great friends!

Bailey's first day of school was also St. Patrick's Day!

Bluebonnet pictures didn't go exactly as planned, but we took them!
