My first (and hopefully last!) ER Visit

I started getting sick last night and woke up today with a big fever. Mom couldn't figure out why I might be sick since I don't have a cold, my ears aren't infected, and I wasn't vomiting or having diarrhea. I slept all but 2 hours and didn't play with a single toy today and kept spiking fevers to 102.5 before I was due for Tylenol or Motrin. Mom checked my urine and it looked bad, but it was after office hours. The pediatrician said I had to go to the ER and have a catheter specimen and get on antibiotics. I didn't like that visit one bit, and I usually like the doctor. The ER urine looked bad, too, so I'm on antibiotics and will have an ultrasound of my plumbing system when I'm done. I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Breakfast

I think breakfast is my favorite meal! I love toast. I also got to try a hard boiled egg and craisins.

Super Sized Play Date

Ten people at Mom's work had 11 babies in a 4 month span. 9 of us got together, with a couple of older siblings, to have a playdate/reunion. It was pretty crazy, but I made a couple of friends!

Swinging

We had such nice weather this week that Mom finally hung the swing I got from Grandma and Grandpa Harris for Christmas. She needs to get rope extensions to put it on the tree branch that will be it's permanent home, so for now it is under the covered patio. I don't care where it is; I'm just happy to have a swing in our backyard. Now I can swing every day!

The Doctor/PA/Nurse is in!

I went to breakfast today with mom and a bunch of her work friends. They really wore me out! I took a 2.5 hour nap when we got home, but went straight to my stethascope when I got up (notice the bed head) to play like them! How young is too young to play doctor?

Bubble Beard

K is for KIRA!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Harris' new old house today to help move some things before demolition starts on Monday. We all put our work clothes on, and I wore a hardhat to do some work. Then I took a little break and put a pretty bow in my hair!

Baby Jail

Mom and Dad don't trust me on the stairs unsupervised. I worked so hard trying to figure out this crazy gate that I wore myself out and had to take a nap. Notice the but-in-the-air position. Mom and Dad think it's super cute!

Oh the Eyes!

This might be mom's new favorite picture of me because of those beautiful eyes! I left the hat on exactly long enough for her to take ONE picture! Hahaha!

More cute pics

Hangin' out in my super cute overalls from Grandma and Grandpa Mills.

Caught on Video

 

I officially started babbling on Valentine's Day, but mom and dad couldn't catch it on film until today. They have been waiting and waiting for me to "talk". I wonder if they ever wish I was still the quiet baby they used to have?

I love to "read" books. We do story time every night before bed and a bunch of times during the day. I've started pulling the books off the shelf by myself and even look through them by myself! I especially love my big picture books.

Naked Baby

I escaped from mom after a bath and diaper change to climb the stairs. Mom couldn't help herself from taking some naked baby pictures!

Stairs!

The stairs might be my favorite place in the house. I am finally learning to go down backwards, but still need some careful spotting! I am also standing without holding onto anything more and more. Mom and Dad are worried because I am trying to get myself to standing without pulling up and that means I might walk soon. Scary!!!

Happy Chinese New Year (Oh, yeah, and Valentine's Day)

Grandma Harris got me a super cute Chinese New Year outfit from San Fransisco. The Chinese New Year happened to be on Valentine's day this year, so we ordered Chinese food, I dressed up for the occasion, and we had fun. Oh, yeah, and I finally have enough hair to hold a bow clip in place! Yippie!

Play date with Cousin Eli

Eli and his parents came over for a play date. We all had lunch together and then Eli and I played together in the family room for a long time. Eli did his first few stairs that day!

Who needs "baby" toys?

Mom caught me trying to re-arrange some dishes in the "safe for baby" (a.k.a. no knives or chemicals) cabinet. My main goal was to move things enough that I so I have room to move around comfortably and reach everything! The dangling cord was my doing, which prompted mom to re-arrange the whole darn kitchen so I get into less trouble!
