A Star Is Not Born

Here are some videos of the children's Christmas musical at church last weekend, Dec. 6.

Okay, so she hasn't got much stage presence, but come on...she's 3! You'll see her waving at me (I'm sitting in front of the kids), running off of the stage to sit with me, turning random circles, falling off of her step, halfway doing the hand motions for the song muchless the singing the actual song, staring off into space, as well as showing off some butt crack. I laugh every time I watch these (and see something different every time).

She shouldn't be hard to find. Unfortunately for the production, she's on the front row...

Enjoy!

This Little Light of Mine

Having trouble uploading the other videos... hopefully this will do for now...

A new baby...

In case you are interested, Scott's cousin Kyla had her baby last Wednesday. I think she's got us all beat on the whole birth announcement bit...

There will be a short commercial intro, but then you can see their announcement via the news story!

Top that!

Welcome to the crazy family Addison Stevenson!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Kamryn is rolling from back to front now. Here is the video, as requested...

PS - we're at 11 1/2 weeks....

Updates, We Have Updates...

So much for doing better about posting regularly...
Oops!

Well, here you go. Updates...
Kamryn is doing very well. This week marked her 10th week without a seizure!
She went to the neurologist on Monday. We didn't see our regular neuro., we saw his PA, which was a little wierd. She was great though. We didn't do an EEG, just a chat with the PA (Tasha), and some blood work. They like to get babies off of phenobarb starting around 9 months. The plan is to go back in 3 months, have an EEG to check for evidence of any remaining seizure activity, and come up with a plan for pulling back the phenobarb. If she doesn't have seizures when pulling back, WOOHOO, and if she does, we'll up the other medication she is on, Trileptal. Obviously, we are rooting for the 1st of the two options. We are on a great track to get there. They measured height, weight, head, etc. She is 22 lbs and 28 1/2 inches. Still off the charts for her age.

General info on Kamryn. She is 6 months old and eating solid foods like cereal and vegetables. She is a great baby...very laid back and happy. She grins all of the time. She is finally starting to roll over. She did her first roll on Tuesday night, and another couple tonight. (back to front)

Kenedy is going well. She is still loving school and never wants to leave at the end of the day. She is going to be a part of our church's children's Christmas musical in a couple of weeks. Her first official showbiz debut. : ) Ought to be interesting.

Trying a new way of posting pictures. There should be slideshows of our pre-Halloween pumpkin patch pictures, as well as actual Halloween pics.

Enjoy!

I'm back already... Back off...

Readers forgive me, for I have sinned. It's been 3 weeks since my last blog.

Alright, alright! Quit harassing me already. I'm blogging, I'm blogging... Here are some updates and pictures since last I posted...

Kamryn...
As of today, she has not had a seizure in 5 weeks. WooHoo! Growing like a weed, but hasn't outgrown this dose. : ) Some of the 6 - 9 month pajamas we just got her are getting too small. We're about to have to break out Kenedy's 12 month clothes box---for the 5 month old! She's having a big old time. She just smiles all of the time. Sleeps beautifully. Is trying to roll over. Started cereal. Tried out carrots and loved them. Got dedicated at church. Drooling like she's trying to get a tooth in, looks like an eye-tooth! Everyday is an adventure. Pics below, videos at the bottom...

Hangin' with Hunter

First try with cereal...

Not a huge fan... Lovin' the carrots though!

Kenedy...
She still loves school. Thank goodness, I suppose. I just hate to be the parent that can't get their kid to leave at the end of the day. : ) Speaking of her school, they've got a fundraiser going on and have even got the 3 year olds hocking the wares! So if you feel the need to support the Giddens Elementary PTA and buy some stuff from Kenedy you can go to the online site (http://www.danielsfundraising.com/store/brochures.php?sID=1507380) and type in her Seller ID, 1507380, and she'll get credit for the sales. She can earn prizes for the number of items she sells. She has her eyes on a set of walkie-talkies...Kenedy is still quite enthralled with her baby sister and wants to help with her often. (a lot of times it is to try to get out of something else). She is also very excited to be a flower girl in Audra's wedding, though she likes to call it a flower princess. She also has decided to be Princess Aurora for Halloween. (Sleeping Beauty for all of you who are out of the know as far as princesses go).
Below are some more recent pictures of her...

Trying on her Halloween costume (just to make sure it fit...)

Notice the cute little bob haircut compared to the raggedy-looking flower girl pics.

Practicing to be a "Flower Princess"

Wylee...

After the round of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, Wylee's "mass" was no longer red and inflamed. We were waiting for the vet to call us back about the surgery to remove it, and while they were busy not getting back to us, the mass just disappeared. It's like it was never even there. CRAZY! But I'll take it.

Trying to get over, but mostly hanging out on the side and pushing around...

First attempt at cereal. She's wasn't a real big fan. She'd rather had her bottle.

First vegetable...Carrots...Doing a lot better with those. If only Kenedy wasn't such a goober! : )
