Learning to talk
|
Posted By: Allie Jan 19th, 2011 |
This is probably my favorite milestone and Kairi is learning so fast. It's adorable the way she pronounces things and doesn't quite understand certain phrases. Her word for crayon is "Kree or Krees". Kaden says "cry-ann" which is funny, he has a cousin named Riann and somehow incorporated that into crayon.
Instead of saying cat she calls them "meows", she used to say "ki ki" for kitty, but i can't get her to say it anymore, she just says "meows". And when Kaden is being mean to her she comes running to me saying "nice, nice" which means "not nice".
She says some colors and everything shaped like a circle is "ball". And she's moving on to two word sentences, she will say "he go" for "here you go" when she hands me something.

Dog Allergies
|
Posted By: Allie Jan 18th, 2011 |
We are pretty sure now that Kaden is allergic to dogs. I'm not sure when this developed because he's been around dogs before and has been fine, but the last few months he's had various incidents that lead me to believe he's now allergic to them.
The last two times we visited my parents' home he's had terrible asthma attacks and broke out in hives all over his face. We thought at first that it was from cats, my parents have both cats and a dog. But we also have a cat so that just didn't add up. Then when a friend brought his dog over, kaden pet him for a few min outside and got hives a short while later, that's when we figured it has to be dogs.
I did a little research and found out that the main dog allergen is in their saliva, which makes perfect sense.
[Dog allergens are small and sticky and can stay airborne for a long time. Some people are not specifically allergic to dogs, but have a primary allergy to another substance, such as pollen. In these cases, a dog can provide an additional irritant that could trigger the primary allergy attack. People who are allergic to a dog's saliva only experience an allergic reaction if a dog licks them.]
My parents' dog loves to lick kaden's face whenever we go there, and he was licked by our friend's dog as well. It's also possible to be allergic to some breeds and not others.
My SIL Heather has a dog, Kaden has been around him a couple times and never had issues, i've never seen him lick kaden, but perhaps he's a breed that doesn't effect him as much. Same with my sister Myndi, she has two Great Danes and Kaden didnt have problems around them, but the last time he was over there was before the allergy started.
We'll have to be more cautious around dogs and make sure he doesn't get licked.

New Years at the Cabin
|
Posted By: Allie Jan 3rd, 2011 |
We spent New Years at the cabin with Jared's parents and sister Heather's family. It was really fun being up there in a cozy cabin surrounded by snow celebrating the new year.
We had fun with noise makers and poppers on New Years Eve.
Kairi and Dominic being cute together.
We had fun playing in the snow and Jared and Jed even built a snow cave.
Jared and Kaden all bundled up to go for a ride on the snow mobile.

Christmas Eve
|
Posted By: Allie Jan 3rd, 2011 |
We spent Christmas Eve with family at Grandma Triptow's. Jared brought his toy helicopter and the kids had fun sticking their hands in the air hoping he would land it on them.
Jared's mom made houses out of pop tarts for the kids to decorate, what a cute idea! Kaden loved it.
Here are all the cousins together, except the new baby whome was still at the hospital.

Graham Cracker Houses
|
Posted By: Allie Jan 3rd, 2011 |
Kaden and Kairi decorated graham cracker houses. I should have assembled them and let them dry first so kairi's wouldn't fall apart like it did. Oh well...she still liked sticking candy in the icing when I couldn't keep it together any longer.
