Happy 4 Month Birthday Kate!



Kate Grace is 4 months old today. She is growing so fast and doing new things everyday. Kate has experienced a lot of changes in the past few weeks. Keith has started football season. He is cherishing every moment he has with her. Kate has her Skeeter gear ready for the first game!


Now that I am back at work, Kate has been going to the sitter. She has adapted very well. She seems to really like it. She is doing a lot better than me!

Last week we made a trip to the doctor to check on this funny breathing sound that Kate has made since she was born. They said that when babies are first born their breathing is irregular and does not sound like ours. Well, Miss Kate has continued to make this congested sound and we thought we might want to check it out. We were referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor in Dallas. They put a tube down her nose (not fun!) to look at her throat. They diagnosed Kate with Laryngomalacia. Basically, her Larynx has fatty tissue around it and is causing her to make that sound when she breathes. She should grow out of it and hopefully the worst part of the whole deal is the tube down the nose!
Kate has had a busy couple of weeks. Here are a few things she can do now...

  • rolls over very easy
  • laughs outloud constantly!
  • very aware of her surroundings
  • loves to look at the trees
  • taking longer naps
  • sleeping through the night (yeah!)
  • grabs toys and sticks them in her mouth
  • likes to play in her bumpo, saucer, and on her activity mat
