Kinley's Torticollis
We went to our 2nd torticollis physical therapy appointment last Thursday. The PT showed my mom, Lynda, and Jason how to do all the stretches and exercises and explained quite a few things to them. We all took turns and practiced with Kinley in front of the mirror to make sure we were doing them correctly. She said that she should get much better with the neck muscles on the left side within 4-6 weeks. So, that is hopeful! We haven't noticed much change in her head shape, but it hasn't even been 2 weeks, so keep praying for her head!
Here are some photos of us doing the stretches and Kinley is completely passed out by the end of the session!

Kinley's been a little sick :(
Well, we lasted almost 4 months without an illness! Kinley got sick this weekend.....threw up, had 101 fever, cranky as ever! We took her to a pediatric urgent care center on Sunday and they told us she has a virus. They were very thorough and did the flu test, blood tests, and urine test, but no infections. So, we were sent home to wait it out.... her fever was gone by Monday morning and she was still feeling a little under the weather today. I took her to see her pediatrician on Monday and she also thinks that her reflux was getting worse again as well because of some of the things she was doing. So, we switched her medicine to the kind that Kason takes and hope for the best! We shall see tomorrow!

Our First Trip to the Zoo!
Well, we took the kids to the zoo today, along with every single other parent in Tulsa! Connie's mom has a big zoo pass and Connie and her girls and their friend, Madeline, Sharon and Cap, and the four of us went to the zoo! Can you believe it was 85 degrees in Tulsa today? EEEEKKK! I can't even imagine what July and August might be like! Kinley and Kason made it through about 2 exhibits before they passed out, then slept most of the rest! They did wake back up for a short time, then Kason fell right back to sleep! You can see our journey and our tired babies! Cap, Kason, and Kinley were all exhausted! When we got home, I took a nap with Kason, my little Kuddlebug :)

3 month pictures

















On March 4th, we had their 3 month pictures taken at Sears! They turned out amazing! Their cousin, Parker went with us too and they got a good shot together! If you want any copies of these, we bought the CD of them and can send you the digital prints so that you can order them cheaply at Walgreens or Walmart or wherever you wish!
Exersaucer Time
Jason and I decided to put the Exersaucer together today since they will be 4 months old next week! It is also another way to avoid the back of the head! After that big task, we decided to see if they would sit in it yet and they did :) Kinley was a little wobbly, but she didn't feel very well today. I think her teeth were hurting her like Kason's did about a week and a half ago. We finally figured this out at 6 pm and gave her teething tablets and she is finally out like a light! Anyway, they seemed to really like it and even pushed buttons on their own (whether they knew they were doing it or not is another story :) )
I threw in some pics of Kason with his Daddy!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! We didn't do much today, just hung out with the kids! Daddy went to the store yesterday and got the kids some "Green" outfits so they wouldn't get pinched. I didn't get a picture of Kason in his until he was asleep! And yes, this is the way her prefers to sleep :) Kinley learned how to pull up her dress and chew on it today....hee hee.
The pics with the do-rag and bow are from earlier. I took those to decorate at school for St. Patty's day.
Kinley finally talks!
Kinley has always been able to make sounds, but Kason has always been the talker! I thought my daughter was going to be the quiet one....turns out, that might not be true! Now that she talks, she just goes on and on. It is quite funny :) She also may be a tad dramatic....watch these videos! When she is on Pam's lap, she is just giving everyone the "oh, poor pitiful me" act!
We might be in for it since this is already happening at 3 months old!
