Recovery and Other Stories.

Well, The Kaylee Monster is doing much, much better. She is taking in food, she is playing like nothing ever happened, she adores the kitchen floor and she has decided that she is no longer going to crawl. And I think her favorite song is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Three nights in a row she fell asleep to that song. :)

As far as her mouth goes: she doesn't bother with it. I think she realizes that something changed, but she doesn't quite know what it was, so she does not care. We don't even use the No-no's anymore. She is making the best sounds now! She actually has a giggle! Before it was a throaty kind of gurgle, like someone clearing their throat. Now she has this adorable giggle that she never had before. I love it. Making her laugh is our number one goal, just to hear that giggle. :)

 As far as feeding goes: good golly Miss Molly! I had no idea a child could drink so much fluid in one go. Last night around three in the morning she woke up because she was really hungry right, so I woke up and made an eight oz bottle which she drank down no problem. Then she started crying and begging for more. I made six more ounces and she drank all of that too. It is almost like she has decided to make up for the week that she didn't eat hardly anything. Yeah, she is eating well.

She even has gained her sucking reflex already. She tries to suck on her Habermann. It is not made to allow for suction so she gets nothing when she tries, but the reflex is there meaning that her palate muscles are working and that is amazing. I am so happy and proud of her. She has gone through the hardest part so far and handled it like a pro. <3 my daughter so much. :)

Her activity has increased since we got home from the hospital and stopped giving her the baby narcotics they gave us. She loves to pull herself up on anything she can: my jeans, my pajamas, the dog, the chairs, the dog. She loves to pull herself up on all of those things, mostly my legs, but it is awesome. Earlier today I watched her as she went straight into the kitchen and lay down on the kitchen floor. She just lay there, looking around, but didn't try to touch anything or go toward any cabinets. She just lay there. It was cute, she almost fell asleep until Ronan the Destroyer barked and scared her; then she started to cry and needed Mommy cuddles.

She refuses to crawl anywhere anymore. She absolutely has to scoot along the walls and cabinets and shelves and everything else to get places. She even holds onto my pant legs and walks with me slowly across the living room floor to get to the other side. It is amazing. Soon she will just let go of my pant leg and start walking around like a master. Then I have got to get her ready for shoes.

Anyway, that was just a quick update. I have some pictures here for you all. Enjoy the cute that is Kaylee Monster. <3 JESS

Playing with her learning table!

What happens when I do this?

Oooooh! Shiny!

Ah. Home at Last.

Firstly, we almost had a major emergency before we came home. We had packed up all of our belongings, and got them into one of the carts to wheel out to the car which I had perfectly parked in the best position in front of the doors to the elevator shaft of the parking garage in front of the hospital. We three made our happy way out of the hospital, and to the car. I put Kaylee into her carseat (which I just now remembered: I must adjust straps to accomodate her No-no's), and then looked for Koala.

I looked in the overnight bags, the bathroom bag, the food cooler, husband's bag, my bag. No Koala. I ran all the way back up to the ninth floor of the hospital to get in to see if her Koala was in the lost and found. Not there. I ran back to the room and see the cleaning cart parked outside of it. I asked the nice cleaning lady if she saw it; no was her reply. Panic starts to set in slowly, this is Kaylee's most favorite snuggle. I ask the nurse at the nurses station, and she says "Well, let's go take a look-see."

We go back to the room, and look under everything. It isn't there. Then the nurse turns to the nice cleaning lady and asks "have you seen a stuffed Koala bear? It was the little girl who just stayed in this room's favorite." Magically, the Koala appears out of nowhere, I glare at the "nice cleaning lady" take my kids favorite stuffy back, and head down to the car to go home. I will file a complaint when my survey gets here in the mail. In any case...

We got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. The house was clean (thanks to Grandma T. and my best friend Kendra for helping me with the last few things we needed!), cool (thanks to the little swamp cooler that could) and comfy (because it is home). Kaylee immediately was happy because she saw her toy box, and then was sad when I had to pull out the few things that I knew she couldn't possibly get into her mouth (things that she plays with on the floor exclusively), and put the lid on her other smaller toys.

Last night went as smoothly as it could. I think Husband did a good job of keeping Monster all occupied and what not while mommy slept. Daddy is asleep now and I am doing a great job of keeping Monster occupied (for that I must thank Disney and the movie "Tangled" for being my best inanimate friend right now). Now if I could only get her to eat just a little bit more I think things would go a little better. She absolutely hates the syringes. She hates the special feeder with tubes. And she will only tolerate her Habermann for so long before she gets pissed off and stops eating. :(

I will of course keep trying. I mean, I was able to make 5 months on the NAM work out. I think it was cake for me. This should be no different, except it is. This whole feeding thing is important because if she doesn't eat she could get sick and if she gets sick she could...let's not finish that sentence. She is getting some nutrients, but if she doesn't drink more than 24 oz today it will be back to the hospital for IV and probably tube feeding if necessary. I guess we will see.

Anyway, here is me: attempting to feed Monster at the hospital before we left. Notice me = tired. Kaylee = angry-ish. Anyway, much love. <3 JESS

Boy do I look tired. Kaylee is over it.

So, are we jumping this ship or what?

Palatoplasty: The Adventure; Pt. 5

Well, well, well. Guess who ate 5 whole ounces of formula this morning? That's right, Monster ate 5 ounces from her Habermann like a pro. She is on her way back to normal. Hopefully we can get another couple of feedings that successful and get home. I am more than certain she would be more than happy to eat at home. I will be able to get to the grocery store and buy a bunch of her favorite veggies to make a thin soup out of them. I might try mixing veggies to get some new flavors in her bottle. If I can feed her food through that bottle then we will be alright.

Anyway, I finally got around to not only taking, but saving post op pictures today, so...picspam, anyone?

Waking up...groggy.

Nevermind, going a back to sleep.
Well, the rest of the pictures are fail to load, so I will figure out what is going on with that later. Love you guys, <3 Jess, Grant and Monster.

Palatoplasy: The Adventure; Pt. 4.

Eating...what is eating? Nourishment? Stuffing one's face for the purpose of yum? More vital than we think? My poor girl is still in so much pain she is not eating well still. We are going to be spending another night in the hospital and we keep trying to feed her. Right now the only thing that actually works is the syringe. She only takes 10mL at a time, but it is more than nothing, and she had a dirty diaper because of it. However; she was hooked back up to the IV to replace fluids.

My poor Monster. I wish I could just reach over, kiss her and make it all better. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Palatoplasty: The Adventure; Pt. 3.

Well. My daughter has to learn to eat all over again. I've been giving her 5cc's of formula via syringe every chance I get. Poor girl. She is starving but refuses to even try a bottle. I try to spoon feed her jello, and I try to give her formula through this strange straw system thing but nothing works except for getting in a few squirts with the syringe when she randomly opens her mouth.

It is going to be a long morning.

Palatoplasty: The Adventure; Pt. 2.

Well, it has been quite the day. I'm running on about three hours of sleep a crap load of coffee and just a little too many nerves.

Kaylee came out of surgery just fine. Her palate looks great, swollen, but great. She is having some trouble eating because it just hurts her to swallow, but she is okay for now. She's really grumpy, and she has the hiccups which are interrupting her sleep so she has not been a happy Monster. Anyway, a recap.

When Kaylee emerged from surgery, we knew she was going to have a stitch in her tongue, with a long black thread coming out of her mouth. That is put in so that her tongue (which was also very, very swollen) won't get caught in the back of her throat and suffocate her. If the nurse thought she was having some obstruction issues she would pull on the thread and Kaylee's tongue would pull forward and stay forward for a little while. What I wasn't expecting was this tube that was coming out of her "good" nostril on the right. It was an orange tube that went all the way down into her lungs to help that air way stay clear because of the swelling. The nurse pulled it out while I was holding Monster (it made me cry). Yuck.

Once the nose thing was removed and the stitch in her tongue was removed Kaylee was moved to her room, which is only slightly better than the one she had last time, and the first thing that Grant notices is the size of the what could loosely be called a "bed." Twin sized. I get to sleep in the chair again, which is fine by me because I get to hold on to the Monster.

So far we have only been able to get her to take a few ounces of apple juice and water. As far as full fledged bottle eating goes I think we will wait until tomorrow. Daddy has always been better with the feedings. I have no doubt he will excel this time as well. It just makes me nervous, frankly. Here is my daughter with fresh sutures in the roof of her mouth and I am supposed to stick a bottle in it? No, Daddy can be the hero there.

Anyway, before I try to take a nap before the nurse comes in again and wakes Monster, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and well wishes. Thank you so much for helping us stay strong today. We really appreciate it. <3 I would post some post-op pics of Kaylee, but we have yet to take any. I believe the best thing for her right now is to rest as much as is humanly possible. I'll get more pictures up tomorrow at least.

Thanks again so much, and I love you all. <3 Jess, Monster, and Grant (the other monster).

Palatoplasty - The Adventure; Pt. 1

August 3rd, 2011.

Check in: 10:45am. Surgery time: 12:45pm; in theory.

Reality:  Check in: 10:30am (because we actually got up on time and all that jazz). Surgery time: 3:45pm. Three hour delay in all. Something to do with partners and associates being behind. Not a problem, it's surgery for crying out loud; not a simple suture.

Our actual stay will be something like 2 days. Originally we though we would just stay the one night, and indeed we still might just depends on how Kaylee does with feeding. And speaking of feeding: we can still feed her with her bottle. That is the only thing that is allowed to go in her mouth past her teeth. Liquid diet and No-No's for two whole weeks. Wewt.

Basically, what they are doing is rebuilding the floor of her sinus cavity and then the muscles of the palate, then the roof of the mouth and finally uniting both sides of the uvula for the first time (I do hope that is a happy introduction).

Grant and I are tired, but holding on. Just finally relieved to get this part of her surgeries out of the way for now. The bone graft and everything else later will be in a few years so I have time to prepare and cope with that one; at least as much as I know how (not easy to be ok with your child going under the knife).

I know Kaylee is probably going to sleep for a while and so we shall sleep when she does. Anyway, that is the current state of affairs in what I call the "Quest for Successful Palatoplasty." That is the technical term for what is being done for the Monster today.

Aaaaaaaaannnd....without further ado: PRE-OP PICSPAM!!!

Sup, Mom?

NOM...NOM...NOM.

OMG Bean bags rule!

Hanging in the play room before surgery.

Hi other child in the playroom, HI!

I didn't do it, I swear.

LOLOLOLOL Daddy is funny.

Peek-a-boo!

Nobody knows the trouble I seen...nobody knows my sorrow. All I need is my tin cup.

Night Before Surgery Pics!

So, I decided I would take some pictures of Little Miss Happy Pants (even though she isn't wearing any atm) tonight before her surgery. Then tomorrow I will post some pictures directly before, and then some after and then some after that and so on and so on.

I realize that my last post was a little spastic and incoherent, but bear with me - I'm under some stress. Without further ado, here are some Kaylee pictures! Oh, and some pictures of my Oriental lilies that I took during the day before they closed up. :)

I will get you Elmo...one day.

Chillen' with mah Daddeh.

Hi Mom! Whatcha doin? Can I have the camera?

LOL! You are funny mom!

And now I am upside down.

Surprise close up!
These are the Oriental lilies during the day.

They are so pretty!

They really are this hot pink color as well.

My favorite lily as of now.
Well, picspam! Thanks for reading and I will see you all tomorrow I suppose. Love, JESS

A Little Over 12 Hours to Go!

Well, I am trying to be productive and get things ready to go, so I have once again made a list of things to do...and I will check them off as I go.

List of Things to Do Before 8:00am:
1.   Laundry
2.   Dishes
3.   Bathroom
4.   Vaccuum
5.   Pack Kaylee's bag
6.   Pack our bag
7.   Pack laptop bag
8.   Gather pillows and blankets
9.   Pack Ronan the Destroyer's stuff 
10. Fuel up car
11. Sleep
12. Pack movies to watch
13. Pack toys for Kaylee
14. Get food for us
15. Drop Ronan the Destroyer at Grandpa Thomas' house

Working on the rest, but taking a bit of a break to cool down and stop sweating so much. I guess I should add shower to that list, but I will do that later. Look for the updated list later. I get this way when I get nervous. I wish that the only thing I was nervous about was the surgery, but alas, life finds a way to add more to the list of things I get to deal with. Eh c'est la vie I suppose.

So, I've been working pretty much non-stop at this point and thought I would have a sit down in the cool computer room. I love this little window unit. Anyway, got to go now. I've got more work to do and a baby to feed. She's going to get real spaghetti and meatballs that I've been working on making as well. Last real food meal and then for the rest of the night it will be formula until 5:45 am, then nothing but water or Pedialite until we leave for Denver. Wish us luck ladies and gents, and thanks in advance...<3 JESS

I are sleepy.

Two Days...And Counting.

Surgery for Kaylee's palate is on Wednesday at 12:45pm. I am getting really nervous again. I hate this feeling, but again my mantra remains the same: I'm doing this for her, not to her. I still get so upset. I know it is for the best, but what mother wants her daughter/son to be in pain? None that I know of.

She is going to be sooo grumpy on Wednesday morning. Her last bottle feeding will be at six, but at least she will still have water or clear juice until 9:00am. So, yeah. I guess I just wanted to let you all know. We will be staying at least one night in the hospital. It could be more, just depending on how she deals with feeding after her surgery.

I again plan on actively blogging and posting pictures to keep everyone updated, but who knows how that will go once she is out of surgery. I don't plan to be doing anything except keeping her company and making sure she is okay.

I've got my list of things that we will need to take, I've got a list of questions that I want to ask, I've got my fingers crossed for a good outcome and I am hoping that we get through this in tact. I know I tend to get really, very, very, nervous and snappy so I hope I don't bite anyone's head off, but if I do, know that it is not intentional, I just get very emotional.

Anyway, let's talk about my daughter. She just turned 10 months, and she is literally (I believe) a few weeks away from walking. If I hold her hands and walk backwards slowly, she starts to walk towards me, then she gets all excited and then decides to fall on her bum. That is how babies roll. She's definitely breached the 20 pound mark, and is talking us to pieces everyday. I love how much she is growing, it makes me a happy woman.

So, yeah. Things are going well on all fronts right now. We are doing well and I will keep you all updated with news during and after surgery. <3 JESS

Curses! Postponed!

Well, it is Tuesday. We very well should be sitting in a waiting room, wondering when the nurse is going to come out asking "Kaylee? Family for Kaylee?" Then we would get up to see our daughter in the recovery room; then be moved to the hospital room for the night, then hopefully released in the morning. *Le sigh* That is french for *sigh* I am still waiting on Dr.A's schedule lady to call me back to reschedule her surgery.

I did end up taking the day off of work though. I decided that I needed it. With all of the overtime I have been working, on top of the worrisome nature of my brain and heart and the lack of sleep; I need the day to just breathe. Yep. So that is what I am doing, plus I feel like crap. My body just hurts. My legs, my back, I've got the heartburn. I am taking it easy today.

Anyway. I don't have much more for ya, I am just updating. I am going to have a Firefly marathon today and nap here and there. Then make something awesomesauce for dinner, then sleep. Then get up and go to work for the rest of the week. :D YAY! <3 Jess

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Well, here we go again.

So, on Tuesday at a bright and early 10:45 am (Mountain Time) our Monster goes in for palate surgery. We are currently unsure if this is going to be a one step or more than one step process to fix her palate. Some doctors do it in stages while others do the repair all at once. I hope our doctor does it all at once. That would be wonderful.

So, now I have the unfortunate dilemma of having to work while my baby heals. I will be taking off the day of her surgery and three days after just to be there for her through the worst of the pain, that way Daddy Monster isn't stuck with an Angry Kaylee Monster all by himself (that will make Daddy Monster cranky). Yeah, I guess one could say that I am nervous (yet again, but hey, this is my Monster that we are talking about here).

In any case, what will be, will be. I must learn that I cannot control everything (as much as I would wish to). So, updates on the monster? Well, she has two bottom teeth, and now one upper tooth. Which I have yet to get a picture of; as soon as she tilts her head to the right angle I miss the shot with my camera. One day, I shall get a camera that will make professionals cry (it will be that amazing). Until then, my happy little Sanyo VPC will have to suffice. I digress. One upper front tooth, the other, well I don't know how that will come in; sideways I expect - considering the angle of her gumline.

Fourth of July was fun for her. She enjoyed the fireworks. About halfway through she decided that the pretty lights in the sky were just not that interesting. She got to see some red, green, gold and white sparklers sort of up close, and we bought this tiny little fountain for her to see as well. She did love it. Next year she will probably be more interested, this year she was more interested in chewing on her thumb. :) I love this kid.

Anyway, that is all for now. My daughter is sleeping overnight at my parents house and I must say (because I cannot sleep for the life of me) that my kitchen has never looked so clean. And yea, that is all. There are not many pictures today, but I shall leave you with a few of Kaylee in the pool, as well as the pic of her in her Fourth of July outfit. <3 Jess

I can swim!

Those are my feet in the water.

Hi Mom!

What? I am having fun!

Splashy!

I love the water!

Getting kind of chilly.

Oooh...look at that!
Ready for fireworks!

Palate Surgery Date!

So, Kaylee's official palate surgery date is on the 12th of July. Right in the middle of summer...bummer. I don't think she will be able to go swimming if she is busy healing. Which is ok, just kind of sad. She already loves the water (bath time, water running, for example), and cries if it goes away. *sigh*

I don't have any major updates here, except that in two weeks my little sister and my brother-in-law will finally be home from Japan. They have been gone for far too long. It will be good to see them in the flesh again. And it will be good to reunite a mother and father with their two children. My poor sister, I could never imagine what she must be going through right now. Not too long though. :)

Other than that, so far so good this week. Been trying to get this house ready for going back to work which is in two-ish days. :) Don't wanna leave my girl. Not that she isn't safe or anything mind you, she'll be with her Daddy (whom she loves sooo very much) but because for 9 hours of my day she won't be there. Now, don't get me wrong at all - I am not complaining since others' such as my sister have been missing their children for months - I am a first time mom going back to work for the first time since Kaylee has been on the outside. That is kinda sad for me.

Anyway, that is all. No pictures today...I've been major busy getting this house clean and I have been slacking on the photo taking. I'll get some up soon-ish. JESS

Officially Four Weeks Post Lip Repair!

We had Kaylee's post lip repair visit with the doctor on Tuesday. It was informative, and we also got to talk a little bit about the palate surgery. It was a good visit to Denver, even though we never got around to visiting Dr. H. We got tired, and by we I mean Kaylee of course. Once she gets angry, the car veers towards the way home.

So, Dr. Allen is very pleased with how her lip turned out. He was very pleased with the scar and how it is coming along. He did tell us to be prepared though. You see, Kaylee's lip looks different from how it looked directly after surgery. After surgery, it was really straight and looked really good, now it has puckered up a bit and has gone a bit sideways. Dr. Allen told us to be prepared that it won't look any better in a month, or even two months. The way that our bodies heal themselves will cause the scar to pucker and pull up on her lip a little bit. So, for the next two months I get to rub a cream on Kaylee's lip called Scarfade. We need to do it twice a day for five minutes each time (basically morning nap and right as she falls asleep for the night). So far, it's going well, she doesn't wake up right away after a milk coma anyway, so this should work.

As far as her ears go: we are to leave them alone, the drainage will go away when it goes away and we will help it along by simply leaving it alone. The only thing we are allowed to do is to get a kleenex, roll one corner up and stick it in her ear to help clear out any gunk. Then we will start doing ear drops once the drainage goes away. Silly me, thinking that my daughter might have an infection...grrr. So, the antibiotics I had her on were doing absolutely nothing except giving her a bad bum-rash, which resolved itself the day after we stopped the antibiotics. Poor thing. Dr. Allen looked in her ears, he could see the tubes and could see that there wasn't anything wrong with them, just watch the fluid coming out, leave them be for a bit, and then start drops again.

We were worried that we were never going to be able to take Monster swimming, but guess what? No special precautions! We can go to the pool, to a lake, to the ocean, to wherever there is water. We get to go swimming. OMG! I love swimming. Swimming is good. So, yep.

Anyway, she finally hit 18lbs, and is doing well. She will be scheduled for surgery in three months for palate repair. She'll be 9 - 10 months old and she will have her whole entire palate repaired at one time. No triple surgery for us, no sir. We'll have it all done within one day, and then we will hopefully be done with surgeries for a few years  - hopefully. Anyway, that is the skinny for now. I hope you are all doing well. And here are a couple of pics for you all to enjoy. Enjoy!

I swear. I didn't do anything.

This crawling thing is hard.

Seriously, can I get a hand?

Oooh.. you have popcorn. I can haz?

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Well - Four Weeks Post - Op!

Technically it's three weeks and six days or something like that LOL. I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to her post-op assessment tomorrow. The surgeon will check things out and let us know how we did and all of that jazz. Then we will find out about the plans for her palate surgery. *shrug* It should be an informative day. Tootles.

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Three Weeks Post - Op: Ah...Ear Infection.

She hasn't had an ear infection before now. They said that she would be more susceptible to them because of the improper drainage from her ears to her throat. So they put in ear tubes. Now, she has an ear infection. A bad one. We're going back to the doctor today to show him the ear drops the surgeon gave us, as well as her surgery report so he can go over it with us and tell us what we are going to do now. Poor baby girl. There are things coming out of her ear that I've never even thought possible. :(

On the other hand she is loving life. She is starting to be a roly poly on the floor! It is cute. We've been spending more and more time down there. I felt like she was spending way too much time in the exersaucer. I just want to make sure she is well rounded in her development. So, on the floor we go! She loves this little musical pad thing, that turns into a table. There are two settings on it, musical and educational (which are both the same thing really). She loves the handle that gets the alphabet rolling.

Well, that button sure is fun! ABCD....

Piano! She just loved that red button.
 So, we went outside the other day and she of course loved it. I think I wrote about that already...hmm. Yeah, that is about it for now. I just wanted to say, three weeks has made a world of difference on my Monster's face. She is just gorgeous, and I don't think she will have much of a scar. Next Monday we have her surgical follow up and we are also going for a visit with Dr. H (the dentist who did her NAM) to give her the scrapbook I've been making with all of the pics Kaylee had over the past couple of months.

The scrapbook itself is more of a help to the other parents are going to go in for the NAM treatment. Kind of a look at what to expect, how to feed them, etc, etc. A helping hand for those in need. Also, I think the pictures will kind of help them see actual changes that the NAM does. So, yeah. That is about it. There isn't anything actually done on the scrapbook yet. I've still got to add pictures, but you know how that is...waiting in line at the Wally world in order to get those things all printed out sucks a lot.

As for me...I'm getting a job. I cannot wait anymore for next fall semester, so I am just going to get a job for a few months to pass the time, and help pay bills of course. It should be fun - except it certainly has been a while. Should be good times all around! Anyway, happy Tuesday all! And have a last Kaylee pic before you go!

What? I'm on my tummeh!

Two Weeks Post - Op: An Upper Lip Makes a World of Difference.

In public, I mean. Hell, I love my daughter. Anyone, I think, can tell that. But this was completely unexpected. I mean, I know that I cried out in exasperation every single time someone said something about my Kaylee, but I didn't expect this at all.

Kaylee, you see, can sit in the shopping cart like a big girl now. She can move around and she looks at everything, she points to things and I tell her what they are, and then she laughs. Then she looks around at other people walking by, and she laughs. While we were in the checkout line yesterday at good old King Soopers, no less than four women came up and asked questions about her, told me how wonderfully beautiful her eyes are, and not a single person inquired about her forming scar.

Quite a welcome surprise. These women were extremely impressed with how Kaylee girl can sit straight up in a shopping cart. They were impressed when she reached out to grab the plastic bags in the cart and laughed when Kaylee tried to murder my hair (again).

"How old is she?" "Oh, she is so precious!" "Look at those big blue eyes!" "She has to take after her daddy!" "look at that smile!"

I have to admit I was proud. I thought to myself...this is what it feels like to not have to answer questions about her deformity all the time.  And it might be horrible, but that is what I thought. Instead of dreading the person who is looking at her with strange, curious inquisition, now I get a little excited that I get to talk about how she sits up like a big girl, how she is growing so quickly, and how much she is just my little angel. I'm turning into one of those moms...the ones who brag incessantly about their children...aren't I?

Oh, well. Some pictures of the loverly Monster then?

Happy Monster with Daddy!

Pissed off Monster, in bed on her tummy.

Indifferent Monster in the exersaucer.

Just saw a "So Easy A Caveman Could Do It" Geico commercial. See the utter confusion on the Monster's face?

Stop taking the picture already would you?

Two Weeks - Post Op Pics!

So, a few good things:

1. Kaylee is allowed solids again. We started with infant cereal again. :)
2. Kaylee's final bit of scabbing fell off in her sleep last night. :)
3. Kaylee is absolutely loving her sock monkey.

So, pictures of it all.
What is the up?

I just sneezed freaking cereal. It sucked.
