Mikayla gets her tonsils out

This morning Mikayla and I were off to the hospital so she could get her tonsils and adenoids out. Mikayla had not idea what was happening and she was a trooper about the whole thing! She actually amazed and surprised me at how well she did.
I must admit I thought she would be nervous but she was not. She put on her little gown, sat in the chair and waited like such a big girl.


 And the little cap, how cute is this girl? I was loving it. When it was time to go back she held onto the nurses and walked back like such a big girl. And when she was done and came back to the room she did great. The only thing that made her cry was when they had to take the IV out of her arm, they had to rip off the tape and that made her not happy.
 The whole ordeal didn't last long. We left home a little before 7:30 this morning and we were back home around 10:30. We were worried how Mikayla would be after the surgery. When Jennifer had her tonsils out she was a bear! We couldn't hardly get her to drink anything right away and she pretty much was on the couch the entire day. Not Mikayla! She was chatty, ready to drink and was ready to go. We sort of had to restrict her from doing things. She just wanted to play! This evening she was a little more cranky and we fully expect that tonight and tomorrow could be rough but for now the girlfriend is being a rock star!
 And in other news today: Kelly had her first bites of baby cereal. Her appetite has been really good lately and she has seemed a little hungry in between some of her bottles so I thought we would give it a try. Doesn't she look so happy? 
 Not that I love being in this picture but I love this face! Whenever Kelly is excited this is the face she makes. She smiles with her mouth wide open and makes almost a grunting noise. It really is the best.
 She was not really all that impressed with her first taste of solid food. So we will just keep trying, she will eventually like it, just not today.
 What a crazy end to a crazy week! Hope you all had a great Friday!
