The last 7 weeks...


Time is flying since the arrival of our little Kennedy!

The last few weeks were interesting around here.
September 18th- Madison woke up from her nap with pink eye, by the 19th when we went to the doctor it was in both. We disinfected everything, started drops, and watched it go away...and come back, then go away again. Then the congestion and cough started, and Madison got a cold. Her friends had been sick, too so we know its going around.

Then the bad news...

Kennedy got it, too! October 1st Kennedy's little cough got worse so we took her to the pediatrician. Turns out the mild fussiness, low fevers, nasal congestion, and cough were the result of double ear infections! Oh, and did I mention she got pink eye, too. Luckily the doctor wrote us a prescription for Kennedy when Madison got pink eye just in case it developed. So sad- at 6 weeks she already had her first unscheduled doctor visit.

Dr Pattan said it's easy to forget how sensitive tiny babies are to germs and colds. We have to be more careful about exposing Kennedy to colds. I forget, Madison can be around runny noses and end up just fine- Kennedy can't yet. With an early cold/flu season going around here, we may be spending lots of time alone in the coming months.

On the brighter side...

It's football season. Madison has her bark down pat, 'Go Dawgs, Sic em, woof, woof, woof- YEAH. No way Gators.' on Saturdays and 'Go Stee-wers' on Sundays while waving her 'terrible toddler towel'.

Aunt Darlene sent Madison a Snow White costume, so we have Princess Madison time almost everyday now.

As the weather cools down we are enjoying time at the park. Unfortunately, the temperature is up and down so today our trip to the playground was cut short as it is 96 degrees now.

Kennedy will have her own post soon with all the updates on her smiling developments (hint, hint)
Here are the photos of our adventures the last month and a half.
