2 month update

Daddy fed Kyle a bottle last Sunday.

Thank you Aunt Suzy for the swing. It has been a life saver many times.

Look at Kyle holding on!
I think he knows he's adorable!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. Kyle keeps us busy. We went to Kyle's 2 month well visit on Tuesday. He weighed 12lb 8oz and was 23 inches long. He's finally over his congestion and he's right on track with all of his milestones. He's so fun to lay on the floor or look in the mirror because he just smiles and coos so much now!!

Visiting the family

Nanny fed Kyle his second bottle while we were there.


Tristen thought Kyle was pretty heavy!

We went to Trafalgar to visit Papaw Gary, Nanny Cathy, and family. It was a good trip and we got to see a lot of people. Packing will never be the same:) Babies need a ton of stuff, but amazingly we didn't forget anything.

Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!

Thanks Jarrett and Haley for the cool outfit.

Kyle wears it proudly.

A Birthday to Remember

We had a pretty scary couple of days this past week. Tuesday was my birthday and we spent it in Kosair Children's Hospital. It all started on Friday night. Kyle had been to the doctor for his one month check-up and it went really well, but he has a little bit of granuloma tissue left from his umbilical cord. The nurse put silver nitrate on it to dry it up (a common procedure). Well, Kyle has a deep belly button and the silver nitrate got on his skin around the belly button. This caused a chemical burn that was swollen by Friday night. We called the doctor first thing on Saturday morning, and they said to put bacitracin zinc on it and it should heal up. We did that all weekend, and there was no improvements. On Monday morning I called the Doctor's office to set up an appointment because I thought it looked infected and Kyle's temp. was a little high (99.8). We went to the Doctor's office at 1:00 and Kyle's temperature was 101.6! They sent us straight to Kosair's and when we got there his temperature was up to 102. They did a spinal tap and took some blood cultures to check for other infections, and then they hooked him up to an IV with antibiotics. His temperature was maintained with Tylenol but that night it spiked at 103.1! On Tuesday morning his temperature was normal and continued to be normal without any Tylenol for the rest of the time. They continued the antibiotics for 48 hours and watched the cultures for any signs of infections. During the day Tuesday Kyle was back to his adorable cooing self and his belly button was already looking better. Thank God, the cultures never grew anything and the doctors concluded that the sliver nitrate caused a chemical burn that got a surface infection. His temperature got so high because his immune system isn't developed enough and didn't "know" how to react. Kyle was sent home Wednesday night with no medications. We thank God that it wasn't anything worse and we thank everyone for their prayers.

Freedom :)

Kyle took a bottle today for the first time!!! Grandma got the priviledge of feeding him.
