Since my last post, Kyra was hospitalized again. This time for six LONG days due to a gram-negative bacteria. Trying to keep her entertained in the hospital was a job in itself. If I didn't already appreciate our home nursing now I definetly know just how much I could not make it without them. Whew! I quickly realized that Kyra has been constantly engaged with activity and entertainment from at least one person. I guess we were trying to make up for lost time during her stay in the NICU. Now, I make sure she spends a little time playing by herself. I have actually warned Mikahla "no I am watching her and she does not need anyone to play with now." Mikahla doesn't get it yet, but she is approaching pre-teen years and will appreciate my strategy later. As for Kyra's bug, no need to replace the line. She recovered and we put good use of our time in the hospital. Kyra began taking water out of a bottle - now we are transitioning to a cup. She is actually asking for a bottle now. She is also eating a bit more. We are seeing her throw a fit if we do not get the cup or food in fast enough - ahh a typical toddler emerges.

I have realized I have not added photos of Kyra in a while. She is growing so fast and learning so many new things. She is our little greeter. Anytime we walk in the room, we hear this sweet little girl say "hi." and if not acknowledged quickly enough you hear a very loud and stern "HI!" She makes her presence known. Here are some big girl photos.


SOOO BIG!
