Kate's 5th Birthday And A Whole Lot Of Pics

Last Tuesday was Kate's 5th birthday.  It's hard to believe that that much time has gone by.   Although she can be your typical 5 year old and have problems with listening and being sassy, she is such a sweet girl.  She is such a smart girl and can already read a ton of words as well as some books.  She amazes me with how much she knows.  She loves to have fun, sing, dance, and be just plain wild.  Babycakes(as we constantly refer to her as) is definitely a daddy's girl and does not like for daddy to give mommy or Kylee any attention. 

For her birthday, we went to Extreme Play or as Kate calls it the jumpy place. It is a bunch of inflatable bounce houses with slides.  She had a ton of fun and went with her boyfriend(as she repeatedly calls him) Joseph.  She was so excited when he brought her a dozen roses.  They are so sweet.

On Saturday, we had a little family party for her.  She had alot of fun playing with her cousins, Marissa and Garrett.

She is one spoiled girl!  She will be having a party with her friends from school next saturday at Chuckee Cheese.  She is so excited because Uncle Mike, Aunt Nicole and Austen will be here.

Both girls had appointments with the ear nose and throat dr. Both girls have been sick free for the last month, so when we went to the dr, he wanted to postpone having Kate's adenoids and tonsils taken out since she has been feeling well.  Well of course we get home and Kate started to have a real raspy throat and a cough, so if she keeps getting sick then we will go back to the dr and talk about getting them removed.  He said her adenoids are bigger which can definitely cause her to be continuously sick.  As far as Kylee, she will have her hearing tested again in her left ear to see if she passes. He doesn't really want to put tubes in yet because her left ear canal is really small.  Kids with down syndrome have smaller ear canals but he said hers is really small which can make putting the tube in a little more difficult.   Overall she is doing really well.  She has a ton of energy and is growing like crazy.  She constantly smiles and laughs.  In fact she will anticipate when you are going to tickle her and will giggle before you do it.  She also has been babbling alot and blowing raspberries.  Lately she has been very cooperative for the camera hence the reason for the abundance of pics!
