Here's your sign

A short, but sweet blog...
Tonight at dinner at Casa Blanca- imagine that ;) Kelson was doing the "light" sign and looking up at a sign and I said No baby- that's a sign, BUT when I read that the sign said "Miller Lite" I figured out who was the smart one ;) My little girl knows how to read already- hehehe. Ok- its a coincidence, but still too cute not to share. I do have witnesses- huh, grammy??? ;)

What the CROUP???

Our poor baby girl has developed croup. Poor baby girl. They said its a summer virus. With all the kids she was around last week I guess she was bound to get sick :(
Kelson started breathing hard and funny lastnight in the bath, so I thought maybe she got too much water in her lungs or something. I was worried that it was from all the swimming we did a week or so ago. I didn't realize it was that bad till she got up caughing like an old smoker :( or a seal like they mentioned above -so we called the dr right when she got up this morning. It seemed to be worse. So we just got back and this is what she has. So its time to keep an eye on her and get rid of that crap aka croup- hehe. OF COURSE- I have her drinking some Xango too for the infection. I truely believe it has helped her stay well since she was born.
It breaks your heart to see your child be in pain like that. They had her do the breathing machine- which she didn't like- but she seems to be doing better already. About to start her on the prescribed steriods. We did found out that she weighs 20 lbs 4oz. That's my girl!!! :) Growing nicely.
WEIRD THING is lastnight lucy, jason, and I were just talking about how Kelson hasn't been sick at all since she was born and how rare that is. Then... we woke up with this, so I guess we jinxed ourselves. Poop!

I just wanted to have a way to keep track of all of Kelson's signs that she knows now. She has already picked up a few more over the last week. I guess she knows her FIRST bday is coming up :) Jason grabbed the video camera lastnight and we got her doing most of these on tape- its hard to remember a lot of them, but she didn't miss a lick!

Other cool things she does at 11 months old: holds up "1" when you ask her how old she is gonna be next month (got her to do it :)--- YEA!, pats herself when you ask her where our pretty girl is, gives kisses when asked for them in french, dances when you tell her to in french, shakes her head no when she doesn't want anymore- she is very adamant about this (haha), points at EVERYTHING, loves to look at pictures, roars when you show her a lion, can squeal a VERY high note (I call it the Mariah Carey note), does her own indian chant, loves Casa Blanca rice and chicken, is not a picky eater, loves to watch Wonder Pets, Dora, Little Bill, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and says: dada, mama (at times), and uh oh. She throws stuff down so she can say uh oh, crawls on her own, smiles in the morning when you get her up, laughs really hard when you do something stupid/funny or scare her, opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue when you ask if she has anything in her mouth, loves her bathtime/pooltime, recognizes Mickey Mouse, likes books, and loves to do "little teapot" and "itsy bitsy spider" and the "months macarena song", sleeps with a humidifier on and Disney music. HAS TONS OF CLOTHES!!!! I know there is more, but I'll cover them in a future blog :)

Happy 11th Month Old Kelson...

Today our baby girl is 11 months old!!! Wow- seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. She is really growing into a beautiful little girl. I love to see how much she changes from week to week. What a sweet angel we have.
Kelson is the best thing that has ever happened to us! We are really excited that she is going to be 1. Now that she is crawling on her own, she is really a handful- I'm sure the walking stage is right around the corner. These last 11 months have been so much fun and I have learned so much about being a mother. Even learned some sign language and french ;) Merci Kelson :) I can't wait to have another one- on 10/10/2010- haha! Doubt that will happen, but ya never know ;)

PS- I still absolutely LOVE her name!!! Since its so different and unique I wondered, but I wouldn't change it for anything. She will stand out!! That's my girl! Sometimes its hard to explain to people, but once they get the concept they get it. Also, I've heard a few comments back on how some couples tried to that but ended up with funny names ;) So at least people are trying it ;) Ours just happen to work out wonderful. Jaelly was not happening ;) hehe!
