Kaylee's 8th Birthday

Kaylee celebrated her birthday this past weekend with a handful of family and friends. She said that it was the most fun she has had in a long time. This year, I wanted to make her birthday extra special by making her cake. I have never decorated a cake like that before, so I was a little nervous about it. I must brag though, it was very beautiful. The cake pan was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, so I made the "Hannah Montana" guitar cake in a French Vanilla flavor, and then I made chocolate cupcakes to accent the cake. I was very proud of myself I must say!!! I ran around and played like a crazy woman at her party and it made me feel like a kid again. I was afraid of how I would feel the next morning, but surprisingly I wasn't sore at all!!! Fun times!!

Kennedy is doing very well and getting so big. She is currently fighting off a little cold, but nothing that is going to be a big deal. If I had to guess, I would say she is around 14 pounds or so now. Stage one baby food has been introduced slowly....and so far she has only broken out in a rash from peaches. We have tried applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, and this week is sweet potatoes.

We have an MRI appointment scheduled for October 15th for Kennedy, but I am still trying to get her cardiology appointment made so we can check her circulation in her legs and feet. I have been pulling teeth out trying to get this appointment...but it is easier said than done! lol. It will happen, it is just not knowing when that frustrates me! :-)

That cake looks awesome! If I didn't know better I would have guessed that it came from a bakery. Kaylee looks so cute too. =)

Kate's having her surgery, remember to pray for us. I will post a detailed update to the teratomas board, and a general update to the blog.

Give Kennedy hugs from us & tell Kaylee we said happy 8th birthday!
