Random Pictures

Here are just a few recent pictures I thought I'd post for you blog watchers!! I have another week and a half off and then I'll be back at work. But, we have a busy week planned and Ya-Ya is moving in this weekend. So, I'm sure I'll have plenty more updates in the next week and a half.

And, Kelsey up to no good

Kelsey's 1st trip to Bowling Green

Today we had our 1st post placement meeting with our social worker. We spent an hour with her talking about how Kelsey is adjusting to life in the Willhoite House. It went very well. We will need to find a lawyer soon so that we can start the finalization process.

After our meeting we met my cousins at a place called Hopscotch Playplace. It is a play place for children 6 mths to 6 years. It was really neat and Carter and Kelsey had a great time playing. I wish we had a place like that closer to us. Well, here are a few pictures.

Once she got the hang of the tunnel, she loved it. Here is a little video of her 1st crawl through the tunnel.

I'm a pasta girl!

Yesteray we got the food clearance and just about anything goes. She has been doing pretty good. So far we have tried lasagna, hotdogs, and tonight we had shrimp scampi (minus the shrimp) and asparagus. She loved both.

As you can tell, I didn't always feed her. She helped me. The doctor also encouraged us to let her start joining in on the feeding process. So, we did!!

1st Doctor Appointment

Well, the Willhoite family was up early this morning and on the road by 7:20. We had to be at the registration desk by 8:30 for our 9:00 appt. Well, we walked back out to our car at 11:30!! So, we were there a really long time.

It was a pretty good visit. As far as gross motor goes, she is developing great. Her weight, height, etc. was good too. However, she will be much taller than me. As of right now, she is in the 95th percentile for height!! She is 20 lbs. and 29.5". They drew a ton of blood to run every test imaginable and she even got a TB skin test. We have to go back on Friday to have it read.

Here is the not so fun news. She has a double ear infection so she was put on meds for that. Of course, I took some pictures of our 1st doctor visit.

Here I am in my gown.

After the doctor, see my war wounds.

Miss Enviromentalist

Well, Kelsey is in love with the recycling bin. She helps us sort and resort all of our recyclables on a regular basis. She has a million toys and she seems to prefer to play with our trash!!

Tomorrow is our first doctor appointment. It is an overall evaluation and is scheduled to last 1.5 hours!! I hope she is a good girl because that is a long time to be poked at, be still, and relatively quiet. I'll try to update tomorrow and let you know how it goes...say a little prayer for us about 9 a.m.

Louisville Zoo

Today we went to the Louisville Zoo. Kelsey seemed to like what she saw. But, she slept through half of it. It wasn't a perfect sunny day. But, it was nice enough to enjoy the animals. She really liked the tiger and the gorillas.

After we left the zoo we stopped at Mark'sFeed Store for dinner. It was very yummy. Well, Kelsey tried lemons for the first time....she loved them. We also gave her salt and vinegar pringles today. They were also a big hit!

I love my grandparents!!

Grandparents are the best!! It only took a minute for me to have them all wrapped around my little finger. Here I am with them.

Here are just some other funny pictures.

Dad will do anything to make me laugh and it usually works!! Why on earth would he put my bunny towel on his head?!

Here is my Uncle EJ. I even have him wrapped and that was not an easy task.

And me, again. I love to stick my head over the vents when the a/c is on.
