Cuddling with Daddy
Yay! I met my goal! I am posting in less than 1 month! Pat on the back for me! ;)
The past 3 weeks since I've posted have gone by very quickly...kind of in a blur actually. We have dealt with sickness, sickness and more sickness!!! This fall season has kicked up all sorts of stuff and it seems like we are catching all of it! But I guess Kayden will have a strong immune system in the end huh?!
Kayden is dealing with another cold as I type, but that seems to be the theme right now, so it's really no biggie. Nick and I both went to the doctor this week and had flu tests done, both of which came back negative! Thank you Lord! I was so extremely concerned that if I did have the flu of passing it on to Kayden. Thankfully, we don't have to worry about that!

We are trying to stay indoors more for the time being since it seems that everyone is sick right now. We are holding off on story time at the library, and I'm trying not to take Kayden out to the grocery store or crowded places just to be on the safe side. We are spending a lot of time, however in our backyard sliding down the slides and swinging. Kayden really enjoys playing outside and the puppies love it too!
We have turned our 3rd bedroom into a playroom for Kayden to get some of the toys out of our living room and to give her a safe place to play. She really loves playing in there. We are in the process of turning our formal dinning room into an office for Nick. He needs a more private place to work, because he's on call all the time and it's kind of difficult for him to work and focus with a baby trying to get his computer and what not! I can only do so much! ;)

Kayden went in on the 16th for her 9 month well check and got a flu shot. She did great! She has moved to the 80th percentile for her weight, weighing in at 22 lbs, and the 90th percentile for her height at a little over 26 inches long. She's babbling and saying, "Mama," "Dada," "Ah ah," (for uh oh), "bab" (for baby) and a whole bunch of crazy noises as well! :) She's progressing wonderfully!
Overall, things are moving right along. No big things to report since the last post. We're hoping to all get well soon so we can resume our play dates with some of Kayden's little friends and get to sleeping better. Oh and on that note, we started the "cry it out" method again this past week on Wednesday. We had tried it when Kayden was around 6 months old, but just couldn't handle it then. We are now doing it successfully and are seeing some progress. It was getting to the point that Kayden would only sleep if we were holding her in her rocking chair or boucing her. If we tried to lay her down, she'd just wake up and scream. She wouldn't sleep in our bed with us or on the couch or in her crib....nowhere but our arms. So we knew it was time. The first couple of days were very rough, but it is slowly getting better and Kayden is really learning how to put herself back to sleep. We've gone from waking up 8-10 times a night to two times a night just to eat and go back to sleep. Night time feedings will be our next obstacle, but we're just going to focus on one at a time!
I have misplaced my camera once again (this is a daily thing), so I don't have many new pictures or videos. I am posting the few that I have and hopefully I will find it soon! :)
Kayden's most favorite thing in the world to do is read! Being a former teacher, I love, love, love that!!!!! We read a lot during the day....some books over and over again! Below is a video of Kayden reading a book to herself! Super cute! :)
Hope everyone's having a good week and is staying healthy! Until next time....
