7 months...

Kay is now 7 months old! This morning we woke up to her rolled over on her belly. Again, we have missed her skill. Daycare still tells us about how she rolls over in both directions, but we are yet to see it. Kay is getting really curious and really likes to watch other kids, hit buttons on toys that make noise, and laugh and squeal. She had more fun playing with the teddy bear this time for her 7 month picture. Kay always has a smile on her face if she has someone to look at. It is hard to get smile pictures when it is just me behind the camera. She still has her big blue eyes. I hope she keeps them!



How big she has grown... This hat was huge when she was in the hospital. Now, she has been wearing for the past few weeks and almost outgrown it...



I went to the used baby sale again last week and stocked up on her spring/summer clothes. She is one lucky little girl! I think she might have more clothes than Craig and I combined. Things are so reasonable at the sale it is hard to resist. She is also very hard to predict on sizing. It took Kay forever to get out of her preemie and 0-3 moth clothes and it feels like she just got into 6 month and is already growing out of them. We will see what size she is this summer!

She has spent the past month battling double ear infections. Last week we had to take her to the doctor because she was clearly not feeling well. She STILL had her double ear infection after several medications for them. The doctor wanted to buy some time because she is still so small and a preemie before we have to go down the tubes route. She had to get three days worth of antibiotics in shots. Afterward she would just lay in our lap and whimper. It was so sad! On day two, she still had a very high fever and the doctor did an exam and discovered that not only did she have a double ear infection, but also hand, foot, and mouth. Poor girl was miserable! We are hopeful that when she goes back this Friday she will no longer have an ear infection and will hopefully be able to get her 6 month vaccines.


Kay is eating all kinds of food now. She loves oatmeal, butter nut squash, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples. She will be trying more fruit this week. She still likes to "wear" her food and loves feeling how squishy it is.


Kay is also getting pretty good at going down at someone's house and letting us transfer her at night. We hung out with our friends Michelle and Dave to watch football and had an all day meat smoking party at Hannah and Jimmy's. Jimmy likes to cook like Craig so they both set-up their smokers and we enjoyed yummy food and Craig's home brew. Kay was still recovering from her ear infections, but she really did a great job.
