1 Month

Kaylan is a month old already!! I cannot believe how quick this month has gone by. Kaylan is doing wonderful! She is getting so big, she is finally starting to outgrow her newborn clothes. Her one month check-up is next Tuesday, so we will see what her weight and height are then. She will also have to get her second Hep B shot.

She still has a pretty bad case of baby acne. It is finally off her forehead and eyelids though. It looked so painful when her eyelids were just covered in them. They are now on her cheeks and on her neck by her ears. She also seems to have a little case of cradle cap on her eyebrows. It seems a little weird to me because I didn't know they could get it on their eyebrows. I also finally got all the greasy stuff out of her hair. It now looks all soft and fluffy, not flat against her head.

Kenny had to go get his H1N1 booster yesterday and did GREAT!! As soon as we were in the waiting area he kept trying to run behind the curtain and climb in the chair. The entire staff was laughing at him cause they had never seen someone so eager to get a shot. They finally called us and he ran and jumped into the chair so fast he almost fell off. When she gave him the shot he didn't even cry. As soon as she was done he said Whoa! and then turned around to grab his sucker.

Yesterday Ken also had a doctors appointment for his back. The doc is not sure what is going on, so he has decided to try some different stuff. He put him on different pain meds, set him up with a physical therapy evaluation, and requested an MRI approval from our insurance. Hopefully they will find something that can be fixed. He is also supposed to start walking 1-2 miles a day to try and stretch out his muscles.

As for the holidays, we are going to be cooking Thanksgiving dinner again this year. Ken's brother said he is coming, so we will just have to see if he actually shows up! Everything is bought except the veggies and some things that will go bad if we get them too early. We are going to be doing dinner on Friday and I have to cook it all all by myself! Ken has to work Thanksgiving day and all weekend. The plan is for Ken's mom, Kaylan, and I to go shopping on Black Friday while Grandpa watches Kenny. After that Ken's mom is going to drop Kaylan and I off so I can get cooking. Then around 1 she is going to come back with Kenny and help me finish up while Kenny is napping. Hopefully everything will be done by 3 and Ken will be out of work!

We have also been trying to decorate for Christmas, but we can't find lights like the ones we already have. We got some at Wal-Mart and they are the wrong ones. We need the ones that flicker and we got the ones that flash. So, today while Ken is at his physical therapy eval. Kenny, Kaylan, and I are going to see if we can find the right ones. We also had to get new garland this year because the candy canes melted in the box and made our old garland all sticky.

Well. I guess that is all for now. I will update next week after Kaylan's check-up and Ken's MRI.
