Photos

These are my absolute FAVORTIE and I loved almost every single one of them so only posting a few on here was hard. These turn out so much better then the ones we had done at the mall for her birthday. I guess you get what you pay for at Picture People. I will still be using them though.

I think she may have a future in modeling, but dont tell James

I love how you can see all of her teeth in this one!

Sneak Peak...

Lauren took some awesome pictures of Kelbie for us this past weekend and I can't wait to see all of them. We took some One year and some Halloween pics. Here is by far my favorite picture that I have seen. Thank you so much Lauren for coming and taking them for us. You do an awesome job every time.

Boring Update... Sorry!

So after all the events of last week, things have finally calmed down. Kelbie's pediatrician wants us to do a follow up with a Neurologist since her fever got so high. I now have to wait to hear back from them as to when they can get us in. It will be at Texas Children's just like her ENT. I did schedule her follow up for her ear and we will be doing that December 1st to see if anything has changed. Her appointment is in the afternoon which means I will be spending my whole afternoon at the Med Center. Yay! I totally can't wait.

We had family day on Sunday and it was very nice to spend the day all together. We headed to the Zoo in the morning. Kelbie loved it. She was actually able to enjoy the animals this time and was pointing at all of them. After about 2.5 hours at the zoo we headed back to Sugarland and grabbed lunch at Jappenaros. Kelbie was a trooper after not having a morning nap. After lunch we took her home so she could get some sort of nap in. I was able to run some errands while she slept which was nice to not have to worry about carrying her in and out of the stores. I will post pictures from the zoo later today. I do think that will have to be something we do at least once a month.

Nothing else really going on in our lives. I feel like my blogs are kinda boring lately but nothing to exciting is going on. Halloween is just around the corner and I am excited to take Kelbie out for the first time and then comes Thanksgiving and the arrival of baby Trystan. Post again later.

First Trip to the ER

Well Kelbie had her first trip to the emergency room Tuesday night. We went to her One Year appointment that afternoon and everything was good. She got all her shots and we came home. She was given Tylenol before her shots and I gave her some Motrin before bed.  Well at 9pm she woke up screaming, when I went to get her she was shivering and a little warm. I took into my room and thought that she would fall back asleep with me. Well that didn't happen. I kept checking her temp and it just kept getting higher and higher. At about10:30pm it was up to 103.8, time to go to the er. Kelbie has never had a temp that high from shots. At max it has been like 102.5. So we headed to St. Michael's which I now know from her Pedi that is not the place to take babies. She recommends St. Luke's or the little Nighttime Pediatric place by Babies R Us. Anyways so we get to the er and they do all their stuff. Basically 2 hours later we are heading home, with the assumption that it is just from her shorts. To be honest that is what I thought it was but I also wasn't completely happy with that answer since her temp was so high. I ended up calling her Pedi Wednesday morning and told them what had happened so of course she wanted to see her. I left work early and took her up there. She also checked her out and they did a urine sample which looked good and just told me to keep her on Motrin and I could alternate Tylenol if needed.  She was going to talk to a neurologist about the shots and see if Kelbie is one of the few that has weird effects from certain shots and she should call me by the end of the week.

Her fever broke last night and I was super excited. I had already planned to stay home today just because the doctor wants us to monitor her fever closely. She woke up crying again this morning and when I took her temp it was back up. Only 102.6 this time but still high. Hoping that it will break by the afternoon and I wont have to be to concerned about it anymore. I am just glad that it was nothing serious and just caused by her shots. Lesson learned that Kelbie can not take that many shots at one time. She had a total of 5 on Tuesday.

One Year Ago Today

Kelbie's 1st birthday is officailly here. I can't believe that a year ago today we were in the hospital waiting on her to arrive. I still remember that day very well. Now if you want to be technical her birthday isn't until 11:24pm but hey we will all be alseep by then.

In the past year our little Monkey has grown so much. She was born a big girl and has continued to grow even bigger. She has always been off the chart on everything. Her one year appointment is this afternoon and I am sure the stats will be the same, although she has started to level out. She is very tall and not as chunky anymore. In the last month alone she has changed a bunch. She now has 8 teeth and I think she is working on the 9th. She isn't only walking but running. She can turn every direction when she walks and luckily we haven't had any major falls with our new walker.  She also got her first offical pair of shoes from Stride Rite a few weeks ago. Talk about more money then I spend on my own shoes, but totally worth it. Also Nana bought this pair so it was to bad. I am in the process of deciding what her next pair is going to be.

She still isn't talking much. She babbles all the time and I swear she has said a few new words but only like once. I have heard words such as Hi, K, and Jersey. I am pretty sure Jersey didnt' happen but hey you never know she is pretty smart.  I am sure her doctor will tell me where she need to be today. I am not worried though, she hold her own conversation in her own language all the time.

We have started to eliminate the formula. I am mixing half formula and half milk. We have had no reactions yet, so I am hoping that is a good sign. I try and to table food as much as possible but we are still doing baby food. She loves everything that I give her for the most part. Its more me that wants to wait a little longer to get rid of baby food since she doesn't have her molars yet. My child can eat though. What one year old do you know that can eat a whole happy meal, most of a kids meal from any resturant and even after eating a full meal will still want whatever you are eating. She really loves to eat.

Kelbie's First Birthday

On Saturday we celebrated Kelbie's 1st Birthday. It was a show. My mom did almost all the decorations. I am sure Kelbie will not remember this party but that is okay. I promise next year is not going to be as elaborate as it was this year.  Our theme this year was Pink and Zebra and we went all out. We had Pin the tail on the Zebra, a zebra pinata, and a bounce house for the kids. It wasn't zebra but had I been able to find one it probably would have been. Now that this one is over it is time to start thinking about next years... J/K well kinda. Here are some pics from the party. More are on Face book. They are a little out of order, this is how blog spot uploaded them, I guess I take what I can get.

Her birthday outfit. She had a matching tutu that you can't really see in this picture.

Kelbie's 1st year in Pictures

1st Birthday Party Tomorrow

So tomorrow we will be celebrating Kelbie's 1st birthday. I can't believe it has been a year already. The time has gone by so fast and she has changed so much. I am excited to celebrate with family and friends tomorrow and I am hoping everything I have been working on for what seems like forever turns out like the vision in my head. I am expecting about 40+ people at my house tomorrow afternoon for fun, games and food. Her birthday theme is Zebra and Pink and my mom has put together almost everything. She has made the Happy Birthday sign, her birthday hat, The Pin the Tail on the Donkey (with some help from the art teacher here at school), her highchair and highchair banner, and much more. The pictures will hopefully do justice once we get everything set up tonight and tomorrow. I am very excited that her party is tomorrow but I am also a little sad that she really isn't a baby anymore. I will post party pics and her birthday pics next week sometime and I will be posting about the highlights in her first year as well.

Miss Kelbie Cheyenne has gone from This....

 To This...



Just Because....

Today Kelbie is going to get her first set of Birthday pictures taken. I can't believe in 9 days my little girl will be ONE. We are celebrating her birthday next Saturday and I can't wait to have everyone together. Shannon's sister Lauren is going to take her actual First Birthday pictures the weekend after her birthday. I will post the ones I get today, which will only be a few because I would rather have more of the ones Lauren is doing. Just little blog post since I am a little sad but very excited that my little chunky monkey is almost ONE!

Have a good Sunday!
