Darn Cough

Woops, we had goofed the picture link.  Here's the updated link that actually works.

Night time was a bit irritating for the whole family this week.  Kennedy's cough has returned and boy was it persistent this time around.  On Monday night, it was so bad that she, nor the rest of us, got much sleep.  This made for some pretty grouchy people around the house.  We had tried giving her the breathing treatments, but she just fights it so hard that she just works herself up.  Rachel ended up taking Kennedy in to see the doctor on Tuesday morning.  The doctor gave us an oral steroid and directed us to use the inhaler instead of the breathing machine.  She got progressively better each night and by Friday, she slept through the entire night.

On Saturday morning, Kennedy was stirring on the monitor so Rachel decided to go rescue her.  When she opened the door, she was greeted to the sight of Kennedy, naked, standing in her crib and holding her pajamas in one hand and her diaper in the other.  Rachel immediately called for Jason to come check out the funny sight.  She had somehow found a way to get our her pajamas at some point.

Although her vocabulary is still pretty limited, she's started getting to a point to where she can communicate with us.  One example, earlier this week, she went to her drawer, opened it and blindly reaching over, she grabbed spoon.  Once she had it in hand, she proceeded over to the refrigerator and attempted to open it.  When we opened it for her, she pointed to the yogurt.  Sure enough, that's what she wanted.  It's pretty nice when she's able to show us what she wants.  It helps to make all of us a little less frustrated.
