4 month and 3 year check ups!

We got a 2 for 1 today (not literlly, I am pretty sure we are paying for 2 appointments! :).  Allison was the big sister and went first.  As everyone who has seen Miss Allison knows, she is petite (weight wise, I mean).  Although she must be going through a growth spurt or something, we can't seem to fill her up!  And I love it!  Anyway, she did great showing Kara how to be a good pt.!  She weighs 28.4 lbs, 25% for age, and is 37 inches tall - 50% for height, explains the tall skinny think (hmm, I wonder where she gets that?!).  She got her flu "shot", we tried the mist with her this year!  No shots, yeah!  She also had a vision and hearing screening.  Vision went well, she has perfect vision!  They have the kids point to the matching letters, but I was pretty proud, instead of pointing she said the letters since she knows them!!  The hearing screening she didn't quite do.  She raised her hand everytime the nurse told her to raise WHEN she heard the beep.  But she would also raise it for the beep or look at her.  I am not too worried, I know she can hear, the problem is listening!!  :)

And Miss Kara Beara (one of her MANY nicknames!)...she also did great, charmed the pants right off the nurses and dr.  But my poor baby.  She has had a cold/runny nose for a few days (and actually had one last week too, I thought she was over it and it seemed to come back on Sat.).  She has not had a fever and it has been clear.  She has been getting up 2x at night, but she eats and goes back to sleep, hasn't seemed exceptionally fussy, so I did NOT think she had an ear infection...WRONG.  Poor kiddo, her left ear was very red and filled with icky fluid Dr. Swanson said.  Ugh.  Looks like she is taking after her big sister!  Allison was 4 months when she got her first ear infection too.  So, MAYBE, once this clears up, she will sleep all night...?!  Really hoping and praying!  Then again, sometimes I don't mind cuddling her at night.  She is my last baby.  And as for my little chubs stats...15lbs 5oz and 25 inches long - both 75th %.  But believe it or not, Allie was chubby at 4 months too (a bit smaller, 14lbs 10oz and 24.5 inches).  But otherwise they are doing good and growing fast!  I can't beleive they are 4months and 3 years already!  Allison is sooo excited for her b-day party this weekend!!

Life

This pretty much sums up life around here these days...

Kara is 4 months old today!  Hopefully later I can post a 4 month pic of her!  She is growing and changing so fast!!  And VERY thankfully the colic seems to be gone!!!  YEAH!  We still have a few night issues to work on, but she is a very happy, sweet baby these days!  Loving her to pieces!

3 Months!

Behind a little and no sign this time, but here is Kara at 3 months!  I did actually TAKE the pic when she turned 3 months, but am FINALLY getting around to posting it!  Also, didn't quite get around to making a sign this time.  Oh, well, you get the idea.  And just look at those chubby cheeks!!  They certainly aren't getting any smaller!

And she is already rolling over.  Not consistently yet, but she has done it BOTH ways a couple times.  For everyone but mom.  Jesse has seen her and my mom too.  I am afraid how fast this one is going to grow up!!! 

Brad's Camo Party

Some Hot 100 for Brad!  Yum-O...or not.

This past weekend another friend joined the 30's group!!  Happy 30th to Brad Triplett!!  We celebrated at their house with a camo party.  Jesse and I went all out...turns out we were the only ones!  I guess when you don't get out much and you finally do, you go for it!  It was so fun!  Ahhh, it feels so good to be young..haha!  7months exactly for me yet!  :)

Neglect...

So the blog has been a bit neglected.  I would like to say it will get better...I just don't know if it will.  I will do my best to post, and I am not quitting, but hang in there with me.  Life with a full time job and a mother of 2 is VERY busy!!  I know many of you already know this, but it seems there are NEVER enough hours in a day!  (Or night!!).  So hang in there with me and keep checking it, I feel so blessed that anyone reads this!!
