15 Months Old!

Kiera Rita is 15 Months Old...on our 5 year Wedding Anniversary...anyone who knows me knows that I love numbers that relate to one another, it's so exciting :)

She's so amazing that I can't even stand myself. She's doing puzzles...and getting them right. She can ask for what she wants either by pointing to it or going to it. She does funny animal noises, even though she still says, "woof woof" for the cats...haha...She loves to kiss you and when you say, "I love you," she blows you a kiss. And when she's not babbling complete conversations, she's saying, "hi!" to everyone, including strangers. She is truly the mayor!

At her doctor's appointment she was measured in and is 21.1 pounds and 30 inches tall. He says he believes she has a fast metabolism which makes sense because both Sean and I did as kids...Sean still does...:)

I'm so lucky to be her mommy and can't wait to see what the next month holds in store!

In Case You Were Wondering...

We did in fact make it to the beach on Thursday...however the sun did not join us :) We were playing on the beach in sweatshirts and loving every minute of it! Kiera and I went to the beach today with my friend Janine as well...she even slept there...Yea! She's got the cutest little tan lines and LOVES the water now. She even made a new friend, Brice. This weekend we are off to Cape May to see Aunt Rebec and have some fun in the sun there too! We can't wait!

Our Little Sickie

Kiera had a hard go of it this week...I should have known that she was getting sick on Sunday because she was super cranky and ONLY wanted Mommy...

On Monday morning she woke up with a 102.5 fever. Ick. We gave her some Motrin, called the doctor and made an appointment. They think she has a cold because everything else was clear. They sent us home with directions to do Tylenol then Motrin every four hours and see how she is. Well at 12:30 I gave her the first round of Tylenol and at 1:30 she had a 104.2 fever! I felt SO bad! We had to do a sponge bath and try to get it down. She was so lethargic and just laid on me all day long. We watched movies and dozed off together. She was a little cuddle bug and I felt so bad for her! In TRUE Kiera form, she slept completely through the night. Phew!

By her bedtime she was down to 101.5, so I felt good about that and yesterday she was consistently in the 99s...this morning she was back up to 101.5, but kept it down after that. Oy!

I think my biggest issue is not knowing. It's so hard to see them suffer and not know how to help them and she wasn't able to tell us where it hurt...the doctor also said that she's getting three more molars that are all coming in at the same time, so she's in pain there too.

Otherwise, we're hoping to get her out and about tomorrow. She had a brief afternoon out today visiting Daddy at Monmouth University and then Auntie Maria who just had surgery to cheer her up...but she needs some fun and sun! So we'll try tomorrow and see how it goes! She's such a peanut and I couldn't love her anymore than I do!
