October - a time for firsts.....

So far this month, Kyleigh has experienced a few firsts. Those are:
  • Her first cold. She came home from daycare one Thursday afternoon with a very runny nose. It turned into a full fledged cold. She went to Pop's and Cici's that weekend with us, and was feeling very bad and running a slight fever. Even though she was feeling horribly, she was still in pretty good spirits. The following Wednesday, I took her to the doctor because the daycare told me she had been pulling on her ear, so I wanted to make sure she didn't have an ear infection. She didn't, and just had a cold. The doctor said sometimes when when stuff is draining in their ears they pull on them. However, I do believe she is starting to also notice her ears! So that would be another first!
  • Rolling Over. At Pop's and Cici's, she rolled over on the bed. Of course, Pop said it was just because Cici was sitting on the bed. Well she proved us wrong on that because a few mornings later, Mike and I were looking in her closet looking for something for her to wear and all of the sudden we hear this big "thump" on the floor. We turned around and Kyleigh had rolled off of the ottoman onto the floor. She cried for a bit, but after I picked her up and calmed her she was fine. Needless to say, daddy had a horrified look on his face, so I had to let him know it would be ok.
  • Laughing is getting to be a common habit of hers too. She laughs a lot and loud, as some would say she is starting to discover her voice.
  • Kyleigh is also doing exceptionally well at holding her head up. So well, that they put her in the saucer at daycare and she can sit and look at all the fun toys.
  • Holding her own bottle. She is trying to help out and hold her own bottle. She has helped me and is trying to help at daycare too.

There will be other firsts, it is amazing how much and how quick they change. She is going through so many mental and strength changes, as well as physical changes. Stay tuned for more. Feel free to share too.
