Surgery Day

This morning Kyle has his first and hopefully only surgery!
At birth he was diagnosed with Hypospadias. This is were the pee hole is not centered and there is a fold of skin around the wee...he also had a bend in his wee! We were told right away he's need surgery when he was a bit older!

So this morning we went to Riley Hospital! Check in was 6:15a and surgery at 7:30a!
Kyle did great all morning even with not eating since 1:30a. He was great while waiting and getting all his vitals! He giggled and just snuggled us!
Mommy and Daddy were nervous but doing well too...until it got closer!
The anesthesiologist came in and explain how things would go for Kyle..this is when mommy cried! Then the doc came in and talked us through things. Finally three nurses came talked to us and then I had to let my baby go....this was so hard for us! I cried and cried but Kyle was a big boy and went to the nurse with just a little whine but then he was fine!
After 2.5hrs the doctor came in and said he was great and the surgery went perfect! He is straight, center and circumcised now. She said Kyle was waking up good and would be out in just bit. About 15-20 mins later I could hear my baby..I know that cute cry...and there he was back in my arms! Mad a little but great! We gave him some pedialyte to drink but he didn't want that so he got his bottle...and he loved it! Within an hour he was discharged and ready to go home!
He'll be in a little pain for the next couple days and be on antibiotic. He has a catheter for the next 11 days which keeps the pee hole stay open while healing! Here is a few days his bandages will come off......he has been such a trooper!

Kings Island

Our first Kings Island trip as parents went GREAT!

We've waited to take Kaylee until she could ride the fun rides and this year she was tall enough for most of them! Kyle was able to ride a couple cute rides with us as well! Mamaw even went with us and had a blast too! We got there about 10:30am and didn't leave until 7:30pm or so.....a long hot but fun day!

First Kaylee and daddy rode the helicopters ride...Kyle and mamaw did the carousal...I took pics! Then me,daddy and Kaylee rode our first roller coaster the Beastie! She was nervous as we waited but once we got up there she was excited! Up we went and then down we went and attached to my arm she became! She was scared, teared up a bit but I did manage to get a couple smiles from her! She was a bit mad at us after the ride but livened back up after a bit! We rode several more rides in Snoopy Land and then we off to the big rides...but the lines we're sooo long so we skipped them!

Kaylee has been asked for a year or so to go to Dinosaur's Alive and finally she got to. She LOVED it!! There were about 60 dino's the moved and roared, a little place she could dig for bones and lots to just look at!

After Dino land we had some lunch and off to Soak City to cool off! Mamaw and Kyle soaked in a little pool while daddy, Kaylee and I went off to play! Kaylee went down a couple water slides, then we found the wave pools and she liked those more! Mawmaw and Kyle joined us at the wave pools until one was closed for some reason! So we went to the lazy river and went around it a couple time....Kaylee love it! Kyle loved playing in the water and just being wet!

We all had a great time!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th!!
We had such a great day....swimming with Ceca, going to the festivities, hanging out with friends and some nice fireworks to end the day! Its was the hottest 4th we can remember but an awesome day...and the kids had a BLAST!

Happy 7 Months

7 Months...goodness is time flying by! Its amazing that its July already and our baby is now over a half year old! Kyle is doing so wonderful! He's just the sweetest little guy and has the sweetest smile!



He got his first tooth last month and a second is not too far. He is rolling around more now, trying to hold his bottle, loves to play with his paci and just be goofy. He likes tags on things and loves to put his burp cloth or a cover toy thing over his face....so funny when he does that! He just laughs, gets excited and kicks like crazy! He loves to just move...the boy wiggles all the time. He finds his sister and our animals to be very funny...laughs when the dogs/cat play or just walk past him....and right when he see's his sissy he just smiles! And just like his sis he LOVES his mamaw...just lights up when he hears or sees her.

Sleeping has not been his favorite...thank you teething. The last month has been rough..he's sort of went backwards. Going to bed than getting up several times and sometimes just a few times...just never know! We've had to try the cry it out approach, sometimes he'll just cry for a few and back to sleepy...others not so easy. We are making progress though, he's been sleeping longer stretches again the past week or so.
Food...He LOVES! He loves baby food...greens not so much but will eat them mixed with something else...banana's still an ick for him! hahaha He loves his bottle and normally drinks 6oz every 3-4hrs. In the middle of the night if we can't get him back to sleep he'll get 4oz and first thing in the morning about 4-5oz. He loves oatmeal with a fruit mixed with it and will even eat meats mixed with something as well!

We love you SOOOO much Kyle, you are such an amazing little boy and we thank god everyday for you!
