No Good, Awful, Terrible Eye Drops

With all the pink eye going around at our house the month of April we have had a lot of eye drops. Two drops in everyone's eyes 3 times a day. With a toddler and a baby this became quite the ordeal. Kate was pretty easy I would have to hold her head still, hold her eyes open and instill the drops, usually with little or no fussing. Kallon was a little more difficult. I had to lay him on the floor, straddle him and pin his arms at his sides with my legs. Then I held his head still in between my knees and literally had to PRY his eyes open while he screamed bloody murder the entire time EVERY time. "No I don't like this mom, no more drops, I done, stop please," are a few of the things I heard while trying to put the drops in his eyes. He finally go to the point when I mentioned the eye drops he stopped whatever he was doing and ran for his life to find a hiding spot. Despite his awesome hiding skills(laying on the floor in the closet holding very still) I still found him and continued the torture. Ugh! I am glad it's all over. Cory is the only lucky one of the bunch that did not become infected. Not very many of you probably know that I HATE eye drops. It is a very good thing that I don't have contact lenses. I don't have a weird thing about touching my eye, I can do that no problem and I love the way my eyes feel after eye drops I just absolutely hate the anticipation of waiting for that cold burning drop to hit my eyeball. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. I had to have Cory put my eye drops in for me because I can't do it. I close my eyes every time right before the dreaded drop of cold fluid can land in my eye. I know I am such a baby and Cory reminds me each time I call him to assist me in my own torture. He says I am just as bad or maybe even worse than Kallon is. I personally don't think it's that bad but then again I am a 26 year old that can't put in her own eye drops. Here is a little clip that reminds me a little of myself when it come the the terrible, awful, no good eye drops. It also makes me laugh out loud. Enjoy.

Kate Update

Two posts in one day, what is going on??? Well folks the kiddies are in bed and I need something to do. Kate had her four month check-up yesterday and I am happy to report she is doing GREAT!
She weighed in at a whopping 15lbs 7oz and 25 3/4 inches long! She is a CHUNCK! I think Kallon weighed that much when he was six or seven months old. She definitely loves her mommy's milk. She is a good baby, most of the time, and we love having her in our home. She is growing and changing so fast. I am sad that the tiny baby days are ending, pretty soon she is going to be able to sit up and then crawl and I know it's going to go so fast. All her beautiful dark hair is falling out, tear!:( If it grows back blonde like Kallon's did I am going to be VERY upset! haha I would like one of my children to get my dark hair, ohwell what can you do? I guess I could dye it! :) She is so different from Kallon though, it's so funny because I didn't think little babies could be so different from one another but these two are. She will not take a pacifier, Kallon loved his. She is a mama's girl, Kallon would go to anyone. I am not so thrilled about this. Kate loves to suck on her hands and a few times has actually fit her entire fist in that small mouth of hers. Kallon still loves her to death and I spend a lot of my time fending him off. Mostly because we are all still recovering from the coughs and pink eye, I know almost three weeks later, what the crap?! But I know if I let him Kallon would be all over Kate all the time. Kate loves it though whenever Kallon is around her she just smiles at him, its the cutest ever!

RIce Cereal

Kate had her first experience with real food on Tuesday April 14th, if you can call rice cereal real food. Anyway it was pretty funny, but she warmed up to the idea and really likes it. The cereal has to be really runny in order for her to even attempt to swallow it. If it is a tiny bit too thick she gags and cries and carries on. It has to be just right, a true girl! HA



Mmmmm...yummy!
