8 Months with Kaedyn

On September 25th Kaedyn Brook
celebrated her 8 month Birthday (yep we still celebrate every month)
Our Sweet Little Kaedyn..

These past few months have been tough on are sweet little babe. She had a bit of tummy troubles when she was born, but we thought she overcame them. But at about 4 1/2 months the problems starting coming back. We have been at a GI (Gastro-intestinal) specialist for about 3 months now and they are still trying to figure everything out. She has had so many different tests and x-rays on her precious little body. It makes me so sad that she has to experience so much at such a young age. From 4 months to 6 months she gained only 1 ounce. But since then she has been on some different medicine and things are going a little bit better. And she has started gaining weight again. During all the different tests (many where she has to be strapped down).. So SAD :( She tries so hard to be so brave.. Below are a few pictures at Rainbow Babies Children's Hospital on our most recent trip.



She Loves to open presents.

She Loves to stand up now.
Study Time with Daddy



Oh we just can't get enough of her cuteness..

She has started to love to stick out her tongue.


Kaedyns 1st try of Peas.
Look at the focus (the tongue says it all) trying to pick up such an odd little veggie

Giving graham crackers a try.

Well she has done it.. She couldn't resist any longer. Kaedyn has discovered Mommy's magic purse. A favorite of many little children that we know. This is the purse of survival, a little bit of everything inside.. And probably enough treats to last a week.

It's fun to greet her in her crib and to finding her sitting up. She is doing really well with crawling and moving around and going from crawling to a sitting position..


Do I really have to wear this outside?
Sooo embarrassing


Are you serious Kaedyn?
You are staring to do some pretty silly things..
I look forward to something silly each day.

Ooooh Macey would love to play with Kaedyn! When I look at her she reminds me of my petite Macey. My favorite picture is the school girl one, so cute!
Is Kaedyn doing better with gaining weight now and her #2 issues, what did the docs say on her last visit???

Oh my goodness she is growing up quickly- too quickly, don't you think? Your CHicago trip looks like fun, too!!

they grow up so fast! She'll be off to college by your next blog post, don't blink! If she's as smart as she is beautiful, she may be off even before that! Love all the photos, especially since we're so far away, it's wonderful to get a true sense of her and your family.

She's darn cute you guys! I miss that little bright-eyed monkey. I'm glad she's doing a little better and that you FINALLY let me know what was going on - ya stinker! Hope everything is well.

She looks, in just a few of those shots, just a little bit like Ivy...wonder if those Powell genes are dominant?
