Happy Birthday GRAMMY!!!!!



Well things are good, very busy but, really good. Kye's been drinking from his sippy sup almost exclusively now! I've put him to bed for his nap and at night with his sippy! What a big boy!!! He's also brushing his teeth regularly...thanks Great Grandma Knight for the awesome tooth brush!! Here's its inaugural run...

Not allot to say really just getting ready for Santa! I'm so excited I could pee!!

OH heres a cute video...as most of you know, when Kye was in the hospital they has a pulsox on his foot to watch his O2 levels and the thing made his feet stink like a grown man! So, since birth we've been smelling, remarking, tickling, finding etc... his 'tinky feet'. Recently he's decided they really DO smell...take a look.

Have a great day, people!!!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Turkey Day!!

Here are a few pictures...

Me and my boys...Oh how I love them!!

Give Mama a kiss?!...uh nope

From left, Ron(hey the camera's over here!!) Grammy, a very happy Uncle David, Aunt Peggy having a conversation with Kye, Me and Pop's...oh what a beautiful family!! Maybe next time we can ALL look at the camera! lol

BJ, my little love, and Melissa...Beej, you still look creepy.

Kevin, Booger and Aunt Debbie.

The Boy has discovered the stairs..and he LOVES them!

Grandpa went fishing so we're going to pretend he's on the left had side..that was his spot. I didn't know he was gone when I decided to do a pictures!!! Grandma, Pop, Me and the little star.

It was a great Thanksgiving! We got to spend it with both of our families! We usually split them up but, this year Grandma and Grandpa Knight hosted Thanksgiving on Saturday so we got double the fun..and double the food! Thursday we spent the day at my mom's. Everything turned out wonderfully, the food, the company...I could have done without football but, I guess it kinda comes with the day! That night Kye started to feel a little under the weather. Nothing too bad just some sniffling and a sneeze here and there. By Friday afternoon he was congested and coughing a little bit. He was still very active and happy so after a whole lot of discussion and a call to the doctor we decided to go ahead and make the trip to the Lake for the holiday weekend. After all it was Grandma and Grandpa's house! He didn't have a fever and we brought his nebulizer in case we needed it...and we did. The poor thing just got worse. He never got a fever but you could tell he didn't feel good. After his breathing treatments, he felt fine, running around, being his charming self but, when they wore off or he got tired, whew!! Daddy and I were a mess at times, running around, doing our best to make decisions on humidifiers (why are there so many to choose from!!! ugh), medicine, when and how much, etc... we were giving him his breathing treatments every 4-6 hours and one night, he was due at 2am. I can typically sneak his treatment while he's asleep but this night I was not so lucky. These treatments open up your airway and in turn crank up your heart rate and kinda make you jittery.We ended up staying up all night. I think I finally went to bed at 6-7am! Worse part was there were people sleeping in every room so we hung out in the laundry room! ha ha I don't think I have ever had nothing to do, no entertainment for that long...well except Kye who tried hard to go back to sleep over and over but couldn't. Poor thing...I mean me! lol
 All in all it was a great holiday. For the most part Kye was in good spirits and rarely fussy. He, Grandma and Grandpa had a ball! He showed them itsy bitsy spider,where his mouth is and how close he is to walking! All the adults played games well into the night and Aunt Doris swindled us all out of all our dough! That ok Aunt Doris, theres always Christmas...better bring your kitty!!!!

Having a bad day??? Throw something, that what we do around here... 

We went to the park across the street from Strands yesterday and had a mini photo shoot...here are a few of my favorites...



Awe this Boy absolutely adores his Grammy! ( I think the feelings mutual)





To find such joy in a piece of leaf



This kid is truely a piece of my heart.

Nov 8 2010

The Boy isn't feeling well! He's got a runny nose and  last night a low grade fever. Poor thing.

This was last night, he was so stuffy and crabby I decided to give him a warm bath...it totally worked!

 I didn't take him to Ann's house on Friday cause i didn't  want him to get the other kids sick. She's ok with them coming as long as they re not throwing up but, I'm not. My schedule is pretty flexible so, unless I have to I'd rather keep him home with me. So this Friday will be his first trip to the babysitters. Here's a little about her...She's an older woman around 60ish, very grandmotherly. She was recommended to be by a lady from the First Steps program. Before we met her I asked one og the other mom's about her and she had all the right answers. Zeke and I spent about 2 hours with her and her husband before we made the decision to take him. I'm confident he'll be safe and she'll be good to him without spoiling him too much! I'm excited for him to play with other kids but, I'm going to miss him. I love out days together. It's only on Fridays right now though so I think I'll be ok! I did stop in on Wednesday last week to drop off diapers, wiped (check in) etc...She had 3 other kids there. A 2 year old and two older kids. The two year old was in the highchair eating Hershey kisses and M&M's....I'm not very cool with that. I think I'll stop and get some snacks to take over for him! In her defence it was just days after Halloween and one of the moms brought it for the kids. We'll see. I'll keep you posted.

AWE look my symbolic little family!!!

Kyes brushing his teeth now!!!and by that I mean I'm brushing his teeth!

He doesn't mind it at all in fact I think he enjoys it! He watches Mama and Daddy so now he gets to be in on the game too!

Of course we were wiping his teeth with a cloth for awhile now...kid sprouted teeth in the womb it seems like.

Well he's napping and I have some things I've got to get done...

Nov 2 2010

Kye voted today. ;-)

So really quick, Kyes going to a babysitter on Friday. I'm sad. We decided it was time for him to hang out with other kids. He has such a good time and it'll be good for him. I'll post more later about it, I was just feeling the need to share...so I did.

Happy Halloweenie PEOPLE!!! 2010

Here's our little devil! Hmmm think there may be a little attitude in there?

Just chill'n waiting for the next evil deed that need's do'n.

Being sneaky

Uh-Oh there's the evil! I knew it was in there somewhere...he is Zeke's child ya know. The sweetness is just a facade!

So I made the boys go to a Halloween party tonight. Can you tell they weren't super into it? Whatever, I'm the MOM.

We entered Kye into the costume contest...and guess what? He won!!

Here are all the other cuties...(that Kye beat ;-)  )

Here's his prize! He's so excited....ach hem. fine I'm excited.

Good night and happy Halloween!!! 

Oct 29 2010 OH I MISS HIM!

Kye went to spend a couple nights with Grandma and Grandpa at the lake. My house is soooo quiet! I sat on the couch and watched the news with a cup of coffee. It was nice, I admit but, I'm over it now. I miss him! ;-) O-well he's having a ball with Grandma and Grandpa so it's all worth it! I think maybe I'll use my free time to SHOP!!! YAY

Grandma and Grandma Byrd came and got him yesterday around 2-3ish and off they went. Kye just hung out talking to himself and playing for most of the trip. He's a pretty good passenger!

For dinner they took him to McDonald's...his first McD experience and he loved it! He ate all his burger and half his fries!

Yea, Mom's addicted to those fries too.

Here's a picture from my birthday. I love this picture! Grammy was picking up the Boy in front of the salon. It was such a nice day I thought I'd grab a picture or two. Aren't we cute!!!

Oh we went to Kye's NICU follow up appointment yesterday too. He's 19 pounds and 30 in long. I think we're going to start giving him Oveltine! He's ok but we'd love to see him gain some weight. Anyway,  this appointment is just to see how preemies progress. They do a series of tests to see where they are at cognitively and with their motor skills. He's not walking yet so that puts him a little behind, even for his adjusted age in the large motor skills area. His fine motor skills are fantastic and mentally he's right on cue! As soon as he starts to walk he'll jump right up the 'chart'. I have to say they were pretty impressed with his sign language skills! He got hungry while we were there and asked for a snack. How cool is he!!
