Kayman 15 months

I have word document that I have been "blogging on" but have yet to take the time to post so here goes a bunch of catch up posts. Kayman is quickly approaching 15 months. How is that even possible?? What she is doing/saying now: She says Choo Choo when you ask her what a train says and “Moooo” for cow. She pretends to take a drink from her teacup and then smacks her lips together. I see a toy kitchen in her future:) She will raise her arms in the air when you tell her to “Praise the Lord.” Samantha, Mika’s daughter, taught her that. She still loves to kiss everyone...with tongue:) She likes to splash her feet in the pool. She has started hitting when she gets frustrated or tired and the other day she bit her Gpa. If we would have done that as a child, he would have bit us back but not his baby girl:) She is one stubborn, strong willed little girl. And spoiled;) She calls Avery “Ab-er-ee” and Lolita (one of Gma and Gpa’s chihuahuas) “O-Lee.” She actually will go to anyone. No stranger danger with this kid. We took her to The Little Gym recently and she loved it. For not being a daycare kid she really loves interacting and being around other kids. She is still wearing a size 3 diaper, 12-18 month clothes and a size 3 in shoes. When we took her to her checkup at 14 mos she weighed 21.3 lbs and was 28” long. She is still a healthy eater and we are so thankful for that. Right or wrong, Alan and I have the philosophy that if she doesn’t know any different, then there is no reason to offer her a “treat” that is really crap for her anyway. From the get go, this is something that we both agreed we would be very strict on and so far we have stuck to it. I know that he and I don’t have the best eating habits but we hope we raise her to make better choices than we do. Let’s be honest...I love me some icing!!:) She still takes 2 naps most days and is still going to bed at 7pm most nights. She wakes up between 7-7:30 on most days. Last week she was sick. At my lunch time Mika sent me a text saying she was running a fever on Tuesday and did I want to see her. I met them at home and took her temp. It was 102.6. Her cheeks were bright red and she was acting a bit tired and uncomfortable but overall Mika said she had been acting fine most of the day. Rather than Mika taking her back to her house Gma and Gpa came to the rescue and spent the afternoon with her. That night she continued to have a high temp. I adjusted her Tuesday, Scott Adjusted her Wed and Thurs. and Heather on Friday. We used oils on her and colloidal silver in her ears in case it was her ears. By Saturday she was back to her chipper self and with her big appetite. A few weeks ago when we took her to Dr. Ross for her checkup, about 3 days prior she had a 101.5 temp one night. We didn’t think much of it. Fast forward to her apt: I met my parents there and they said she has been more fussy than normal. Turns out she had bilateral ear infections. Dr. Ross, who is very supportive of our natural approach told my parents that he would write a Rx “just in case” but to adjust her and give her probiotics. She was fine soon after and we didn’t even pick up the Rx.
