Milestones

Why do kids grow up so fast?  I love watching them learn new things, but really, can we not just slow down for a minute?  Kinley is really mobile now.  She is starting to get some better balance and stood still for a few seconds and then took a step all by herself.  And, she is now an animal at the stairs.  She can be up them within a few seconds.  She has also started to say her first word: Dada.  Yep, it is true.  Tim is pretty happy that her first word was Dada.  She loves her Daddy so much.  When ever he gets home from work, she will just start smiling so big and giggling.  It is precious!  Kinley is really busy.  I can not believe how much she moves.  It is really hard to get her to sit still for just a few seconds.  This week she did start sleeping for 11 hours a night!  Yes, it has only taken 8 months, but finally she sleeps!!!!  Her top tooth has broken through the gums, and it looks like there are 2 more right behind it.  

Kinley had a follow up with the ENT today.  The Doctor was a bit concerned that Kinley was still pretty noisy when she was breathing.  She wants to do a scope in the office again right before she turns one.  This is to just make sure everything is the same.  Then, if Kinley is still noisy, we will have to think about doing surgery when she is 18-24 months old.  Right now we can get away without the surgery because Kinley is growing and thriving.  So, keep it up little one, keep it up!
