Okay! So we may sound like over-protective/paranoid new parents but Kaylah got a bug bite of some sort on her arm on Sat. It was just big and red at first, but then yesterday it got full of pus and seemed a little more swollen. Today made the fifth day and it hadn't gone away yet. So we took her to the doctor today...only to have her tell us it was a regular insect bite. She said the rule of thumb is if you can rub it and the baby doesn't have any discomfort then its just an insect bite. But if you rub it and the baby reacts in pain, then its probably a more serious bite or sting like from a spider. Good to know. But we needed to be sure, right? So we also found out she weighs 16 lbs and 10 oz and is 25.5 inches long. She's agrowin! :)

McKaylah's Baptism
This is a short clip of McKaylah's baptism. She did really well through the whole thing until we had to lean her back and Father Dean poured the water on her head. She got a little fussy, but she was happy once that part was over. We missed all of you who couldn't attend.
Bath Time at the Hernandez House
Kaylah "kissing" her little rubber ducky. More like eating it's bill. Yum!
Her favorite bath time toy is now the red plastic cup we use to pour water on her.
Since Kaylah has starting teething, she puts everything in her mouth including but not limited to this red cup. She kept sucking on the rim so it looked like she was trying to drink from it. lol!
Kaylah usually ends her bath with an ear to ear grin which we were hoping to capture. However the moment she saw the camera she just stared. Great shot of those beautiful eyes though. :)

McKaylah's 4 month well check
Ok. So we went to see the doctor for Kaylah's 4 month well check and shots. She weighed in at a whole 14 lbs 8 oz and 24 inches long! She's growing! The hard part were the shots. She cried and I cried. It's so hard. Anyways, we gave her Tylenol for the pain and she slept... a lot! She was out from around 9:30pm until around 8am the next morning. And she slept in her crib so I frequently kept getting up to make sure she was still covered up or laying on her back or breathing for that matter. I'm still paranoid when she sleeps in her crib and I don't hear her for a long time. The tough part was that next morning. She felt warm so we took her temp and it was around 99.6. And it just kept going higher and higher even though we gave her Tylenol every 4 hours as directed. It finally hit 100.6 and we called the nurse at the doctor's office who gave us some instructions that helped. We gave her some cool milk and kept her undressed. We were about to give her a cool bath when her temp finally started to break. Everyone says it's not a big deal until they hit 101 but it was her first and technically if you rounded up.... anyways... She's good and healthy and right on target for her age. That's all we could ask for. :)

Our First Family Vacation
Our first family vacation ever! McKaylah is 2 months old and we are at South Padre Island (Brownsville) at the Myer Condo. It is absolutely gorgeous but extremely windy!
Daddy and Kaylah at the beach on the last day.
Matt had to chase a couple down to snap this photo. They were there from Germany and were really sweet. It was really really windy and the gentleman kept holding his hands over Kaylah's head until we found her a hat. He was really concerned about her. It was too cute!
The view of the island from our bedroom window.
The sunset as we drove over the bridge towards the main land. This picture just doesn't do it justice.Sunday, June 8, 2008
