Kayla is 3

Kayla can sure hold her own around this house.  She is very sassy and confident in her abilities.  She thinks she is the mother of Patten especially.  When asked whose baby he is she always says he is hers, not mine.  She loves to help me cook and notices when the house is messy.  She often tells me I need to clean something.  She helps with laundry folding too. Right now she folds the hand towels or napkins.  She does a great job and is very proud of her work.  Kayla takes very good care of her baby dolls also.  She is likes rocking them, feeding them, Changing their diapers, giving them rides in a stroller, or putting them down for naps.  She does prefer her babies to be in blankets only, no clothes. Kayla loves to see temples.  She is always saying how she will get married someday there.  She is going to marry Beau Wood if you ask her.

When Kayla isn’t busy practicing being a mother or planning her marriage she loves to be outside.  She likes to jump or play on “the park” as she calls it.  That is our playset in the backyard.  She enjoys riding her scooter and bike.  Kayla is very social.  She would much rather be playing with a friend or be out running errands than at home.

She enjoys being read to

She loves to watch Frozen and Cinderella

Kayla loves music and signing.  She likes, “I am a Child of God,” “You are My Sunshine,” “Let it Go,” and many many more. 

Her favorite color is Purple and Pink

She loves to eat ranch dip with pretzels/veggies

Her favorite meals are pancakes and Chicken. Chicken is all white meat, including fish.

She also really enjoys fruit but does not like noodles with any red sauce

She is particular about her clothing and shoes especially

She loves going to church and nursery

Potty training during the day is complete and she is doing awesome there! We still have a few nighttime accidents.

Kayla is 2

This sassy cute thing was 2 on April 15! Kayla loves to sing, dance, read, play outside, and do anything her brothers do. Her favorite songs are "Popcorn Popping", " Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes", and "I Am a Child of God".
Kayla enjoys coloring, and playing house.
She likes to boss her brothers around. She often reprimands them by shaking her finger at them.
Kayla loves to swing and jump outside.
She is trying hard to say new words ever day. She points to things and asks what it is. Then repeats it back to you.
She is a big helper. She likes to stir while helping cook. And get mom anything baby brother needs. She helps sweep by telling mom where the piles of food are and pushing in the chairs. These are just a few things. She likes things clean and makes sure mom knows where there is a mess.
She is also testing boundaries and "no" seems to be her favorite word.
She loves her Daddy and runs to him for a "huggie" whenever he comes through the door.
This like girl fills my heart with so much joy and love. I am try thankful every day she chose to be a part of our family.

Haircut

 

Landon decided to cut Kayla's hair.  He thought it was too long on top.  She had a pigtail on top the day before and it was sticking straight up so he decided to cut that off.  He did it at an angle so the cut goes from about 1/4" to 2" long right on top of her head. When it is dried and lays flat it looks fine.

Cute Things

Today I came up to see what Kayla was doing in her room. She was changing her babies diaper. She had out the wipes and everything. Girls are so different than boys.

Don made me a CD for Valentine's because he is awesome like that. One of the song talks about Superman. The first time Landon heard it he was really excited about Superman being mentioned in a song. I just briefly told him what the song was saying and that Daddy is our Superman. Now every time he hears the song he says, "It's talking about Dad!" and then proceeds to sing at the top of his lungs. He now requests Superman in addition to Melynda's favorite song (Human). It's nice to have some variety.

Eldon's cute thing? If I only choose one it would be his dancing. He has done awesome moves, and I don't mean that sarcastically. When asked a question he sometimes will answer me with a side step and jazz hands.

Bryson is the most tender hearted of the boys towards me. He is always trying hard to help me with cooking, deep cleaning, or just by being empathetic when I talk.

I think it is really cute when a brother tells a story about something that made them feel sad and he responds, "I know just how you feel," he then continues to tell how he can relate to them. He is growing up too much. He can carry on adult conversations and while that is awesome it makes me a little sad.

Don is the cutest of them all. He always kisses me before he leaves in the morning, if it wakes me I even get an I love you. It's the little things that make life great.

Miss KK

 

In Dec. she lost both her pacifier and her crib.  It was surprisingly a much easier transition than we thought it would be.  

She likes to hide

The nightgown that all of Tricia's girls wore

This little girl is in the phase of life that she gets into everything.  I have to make sure to close the flour really tight or else this happens...

How she scooped the flour

The aftermath

Her most favorite thing to get into however is not the flour, it is makeup.  My concealer stick seems to be her favorite.  She puts it on the right way, but then can't resist the urge to eat it too. I use Vaseline for my lips, which she also things is really fun.  Jaron and Bryson leave their room door open sometimes and she helps herself to their chap stick and markers (she bites the ends off).  Shutting the door used to work but as of late she has started opening doors.

No photos for this one, but she can't seem to stop putting things up her nose.  Anything really.  The largest we had to remove was a piece of a Styrofoam cup. She lays perfectly still so Don and I are able to remove them without going to the Dr.

She is the little mother of the house.  Bossing the boys around, cleaning up messes, and cooking in the kitchen. She is at such a fun age.

Kayla is 18 months

This little girl is just too much.  She has such an attitude.  Some of my most favorite things? One is her little shrug.  She does this when she is kind of unsure about things around her.  Kayla waves to everyone.  She is the most friendly child I have had.  When she sees another child her age she approaches them and touches their arm.  Most 1-2 year olds aren't into this and give her a look of disgust.  Which she doesn't even notice.  When she doesn't get her way she fold her arms and gives a hump while walking away to sit somewhere. She also has started talking back, not good I realize, but it is really funny.  She gets pout lips and says, "Wa, Wa, Wa!" She definitely wants her voice heard and she defiantly has her daddy wrapped around her small finger.
Kayla is in the normal range for weight and height on the growth charts.
Many comment how she has the same big brown eyes as I did.
I feel I need to mention her hair growth.  She does not grow any hair in the front or on the sides. It is starting to grow long on the top and in the back. 
She is saying around 20 words I understand.
She does a few signs to communicate, but tries first to use her voice.
She is trying to climb out of her crib.  Big girl bed time is in the near future.
She is a good "helper".
She loves to play cars, guns, and ball.
But I am also happy to say she likes her baby doll, phone, and keys.
She is very much into shoes. She likes to wear her shoes all the time.
She loves music.  Jaron plays the piano often and she dances and sings along. 

She is getting into everything and driving me slightly crazy, but she is so cute I can't be cross for long. She is discovering who she is and very much able to hold her own when with her brothers. Just watch her jump with them on the trampoline.  She is one tough cookie, with lots of sweet frosting on top.

Kayla is 1

There are things in life that you just aren't ready for.  Kayla turning one just happens to be one of those moments.  This past year has been full of struggles for me as a mother.  I just don't have enough to give 100% to all five of my little ones.  With that in mind I think five is enough for me and I feel that she very well might be the last spirit that Don and I give a body.  All those little milestones that happen have been very hard for me.  I love seeing them!  I love kids! And Kayla might be my last.  
Every time Don walks in Kayla melts my heart by saying, "Hi Dad."  Accompanied with a cute little wave. Although she says "Dad" the most now, "Mom" was her first word.  She also says "Is it" and "Oh".
Kayla loves music and likes to act like she is leading and yell along.
Kayla loves books and she even likes to color now too.
Kayla took her first few steps on April 8th, but has not taken too many more.  She still prefers to crawl.
She is my baldest baby, but is growing a little hair on that head now.  The top of her head is growing more slowly than the sides and back of her head.
She has the cutest grin, with 6 teeth.
Kayla has total disregard for the word "no."  She knows what I am saying but she doesn't listen and often looks at me and smiles as she does things she knows she shouldn't.
We have to put the dog food and water up because she just crawls over and gets it if we don't.  She thinks it is a good idea to dump the dog water on herself, until it happens then she cries because she is all wet.
She is weaning herself.  Never had a baby that did that.  She really is done and prefers a sippy cup most of the day.
Kayla loves food, but it must have flavor; no plain bread, or boring stuff. She eats a lot of peas and bananas, but that is because they are on hand.
Kayla likes to cuddle.  She loves to just come and lay her head on you and say, "Awe".  We just love this about her.
She is discovering things and into everything.  When she finds something she likes she will hold it up for you to see and and, "Ohhhh."

She is just too precious for words.  She doesn't have her well child until May 4.  So stats and pictures to come later. 

Kayla is 10 months

Kayla Kristine is 10 months old.  Once they start to crawl things just fly by after that.  She is crawling all over the place.  She pulls herself to standing and walks around holding onto the furniture.  She is walking a little while holding on to her walker.  She has taken to feeding Knick when she is eating. She is soo quick at crawling that she often finds her way to the dog food, yuck!!  Poor Knick only gets his food down about the half the day since Kayla is determined to find it and eat it no matter where I put it.  Kayla is still teething and is really upset about it.  She has cut a top tooth now making a grand total of 5 teeth now.  She is still a mommas girl.  If I am in the room she would prefer to be with me and when she is tired she is upset if she can see me and I am not holding her. She is eating a lot since she has started moving and is digesting it all very well. Still not sleeping through the night at all.  I just love my little girl though and really don't mind (most of the time) getting up with her.

Kayla is 9 months

Our baby girl has grown up sooo much over the last month. 
She says, "Mama" a lot and has now started exploring other sounds she can make.  She has discovered that she can suck in and blow out her bottom lip.  Very fun.
She tries to make as much noise as her brothers, so she often just starts yelling when they are being noisy.
Kayla cut another tooth, her top left tooth, but not the center left then next one over.
Kayla loves her bath time.  She has started splashing.
Just a few days ago she started crawling.  She is now getting to anything she wants rather quickly.  She still scoots a lot, but I think crawling is her new thing.
She loves food.  All food.  A few of the greens give her shivers, but she will eat anything and I am struggling to keep her fed.
Her 4 brothers simply adore her.  They are all really protective and like to hold her.
She is 16lb. 15oz. and 28inches long.

Can I just say I love this little girl so much.  She is definitely a mommy's girl.  She likes to cuddle at times which I love.  She still wakes up once to eat at night and I could probably make her sleep through the night; but I love the quiet time we have at night together where I just get to hold her.  I can't bring myself to make her sleep through the night. 

Kayla's Skull Fracture

On Friday November 28^th, 2014 Don had just gotten home from doing some Christmas shopping.  Lunch was finishing up and I went with Don to discuss what he had bought.  *I would like to insert here that I am FULLY aware that I should not have left Kayla at the table.*  Kayla was left in her booster seat on the table bench.  Bryson came running back saying, “Kayla fell!!”  She must have gotten her feet on something and pushed the seat off onto the floor. Bryson said he saw her fall.  Her head was turned when she fell and she began crying right away. Don was first there and rushed to get her some ice because there was a HUGE bump on her head.  I picked her up after we check to make sure she could move her head.  I was not very calm, but Don and the boys were awesome.  I began crying almost immediately because I knew she wasn’t ok. She was not crying at this point and acting very confused and distant.  She then began to loose consciousness.  Her eyes would roll back, I tried to rouse her gently by calling her name.  I knew right then she needed medical help. *Another insert, I now realize we should have called 911 or just taken her to Primary Children’s, but we didn’t we wanted help as fast as possible.*

We all got in the car quickly while I just held her.  It was very difficult to keep her awake.  She kept closing her eyes or just staring blankly off at nothing. I tried the pediatrician’s office, but they closed at noon.  It was 12:50, I remember looking at the clock.  So we tried the InstaCare because it was closes.  While driving I still was not very calm.  Bryson being who he is tried to calm me with the comment, “Mom, you are upset, just like I was upset when I lost my glove.” Such a caring child, but this was not at all the same.  I didn’t say that to him, but thanked him for caring about my feeling in stead and was happy for a much needed chuckle.  I walked in to the InstaCare and said, “My baby has a concussion can you help us?” He just shook his head and I walked back out.  As we were walking out the vomiting started.  The first was the worst and it wasn’t expected so she and I were COVERED in vomit. She threw up three times in the next 5 minutes as we got to the closest hospital which is Lakeview Hospital.

They took Kayla and me back right away. Don stayed out with the boys in the car for a few minutes then took them to get ice cream while they waited to see what would happen with Kayla. Jenny was our nurse. I don’t remember the Dr’s name. Jenny was wonderful and very kind and helped me know exactly what was going on. She told me the worse case of what would happen but told me that she most likely was just fine and we could go home within the hour.  The Dr. was knowledgeable but seemed irritated I brought a baby to their hospital and that I was such a crappy mother.  Jenny assured me thought that I wasn’t a crappy mother.  I got Kayla out of her wet clothes and I happened to have a shirt for myself in my bag, talk about luck.  Kayla was starting to act a little better and didn’t throw up again. She also started crying again. They said it was fine for her to sleep, so I help my little angle as she slept a few minutes.  She got a CT scan, which wasn’t the best experience.  She was somewhat calm, but then the technician came in and adjusted the towel by her head slightly and totally smacked her injured side of the head.  Kayla started to cry and so there was movement during most of the scan, which made the images a little difficult to read.

We were told the CT scan showed a skull fracture and a small amount of blood on the brain.  There would be not going home, a transfer to Primary Children’s, a night stay to monitor her, then another scan in the morning to make sure the blood on the brain was not worse. I called Don to tell him to find someone to watch the boys then come to Primary Children’s. This is when grandparents were informed and several family members were notified of what was going on. I 100% have always believed in God and that he hears and answers prayers.  This case was no exception.  Our little girl was defiantly blessed because of the prayers of the righteous that were offered up on her behalf.  I know it! Putting in the IV was quit the ordeal.  Jenny had assistance from another nurse, but I could tell she was still flustered at having to put the IV in such a small vein.  The nurse wasn’t the only one flustered.  Going from, you most likely will go home within the hour, to your baby has blood on her brain and things could get lots worse before she can go home, did not exactly have a calming effect for me.  I lost it while they were putting in the IV, meaning I started to cry openly, in front of people.  The nurses were obviously worried, they sent the Chaplin in to sit with me while we waited for the transfer team.  I didn’t think I was that bad, but Don has also commented on how upset I was, so I must have been a lot worse then I thought. The worst part of this whole thing was that Kayla was becoming more and more alert and more and more confused about what was going on.  She kept looking to me to help her.  Those little brown eyes looking at me saying, “Mom! Please help this just isn’t right,” was just more then I could handle.  The Centerville police department came to transfer Kayla.  There was one woman and three male fire fighters.  They were all very helpful and kind.  They put Kayla in a neck brace first; then strapped her into the car seat.  They immobilized her head with towels on both sides of her head, being careful not to disturb her huge bump and fracture, then wrapped medical bandage around the car seat and towels to hold everything in place.  Last they strapped the car seat to the stretcher and we were off.  Kayla did well through the whole thing.  She had become extremely alert, which was a wonderful sign, and so we tried to keep her awake but not crying for the ride to the hospital.  We arrived at PCMC at around 3:30.  Don arrived to be with us at 4pm after my parents arrived to watch the 4 boys.

Now the waiting game started.  She was acting hungry but they would not allow me to feed her in case surgery was needed, they needed an empty stomach.  The nurse gave me glucose drops to give her while we waited.  They also got her some clothes and pain meds.  It took a long while for the CT scan images to load that were taken at Lakeview.  So we just waited, at about 5:15 they got the images and the radiologist that was at PCMC said that there didn’t look like any blood to him, but again the images were not that great so that was unclear.  We were told where her actual fracture was, which is just above her left ear, below the main swelling. The Dr. on staff told me I could feed Kayla.  This was really interesting with a neck brace, head fracture, and a splinted IV arm.  But we managed.  She ate, but did not suck very hard or for very long.    This was probably a good thing because keeping the food down was our goal.  She acted as if she might throw up a few times, but never actually did throw up, can I get a HORRAY!

5:35 she was taken to X-ray her neck to make sure that there were no problems with her spine.  The X-ray techs were so nice and gentle with her.  X-rays came back normal. Her neck was just fine.

After the X-ray Gram and Papa had arrived at the hospital. Papa assisted Don in giving Kayla a blessing.  In the blessing Don said she would be healed and that this would all just be fun story to read in her journal some day.  He also told her that He and I were very sorry that this happened. Now might be a good time to insert that I am in fact a wreck over the whole matter.  It was 100% my fault.  I am supposed to take care of this helpless infant and I failed.  I know we all make mistakes, but this was kind of a big one.  I will in time forgive myself for it, but that doesn’t make the feeling of my failure and less potent. Don suggested last night as we talked about it that I am so determined to make up for what happened that I am being a little obsessive about taking care of her.

After the X-ray results we had another long wait.  The neurologist team was in surgery and they were not able to review her case until they were out.  They were the ones that would ultimately make the decision on what happened next. I think that this long wait was really a blessing.  Initially she was not doing to great, but over the LONG wait she improved a great deal.  I think her progress while we had to wait was really what made it possible for us to go home that night. At 7:45 just after Grandma and Grandpa Barlow had arrived the neurologist arrived.  He said it was still unclear about the fluid on the brain, but “We treat patients, not CT scans,” he said.  With her improvement he felt confident that we could go home. He took off her neck brace and she was a new woman.  She was happy and trying to pull out her IV.  It was great to see her in such good spirits.  We know that her head was bothering her though because she kept reaching up and pulling at it, just like she does when her bows irritate her head.  She seams confused when her rubbing/pulling at her head doesn’t fix the problem.  About 8:45 we were on our way home.

We would need to wake her every hour or two through the night to make sure that she was ok.  For the next 1-2 weeks we need to be extremely careful with her little head.  Since she is moving around so much now another blow to the head isn’t good. If she worsens we should take her back in.  In 1-2 weeks she needs to follow up with her primary care Dr.

48 hours later she is doing just the same as when we were discharged.  I can tell her head hurts a little, but we are giving her pain medication when needed.  The first night home she slept wonderfully, but the last 24 hours she has struggled a little more.

We are so blessed to have family to be there in our time of need and bring down the powers of heaven on our behalf.

Kayla is 6 months

Kayla was 6 months on Oct. 15th.  We had to wait until the 31st to get into the new Dr.  Kayla is 15lb 13oz and 27" long.  She is a tall but average weight.

Kayla loves to grab everything.
She likes food, but is having a hard time getting her digestive track to regulate to her new found love of food.
She talks a lot.  More yells really, but she has said "da"
She smacks her gums together and has found her tongue so that is fun to play with.
She is sitting up well and rolling whenever she feels like it.
Kayla still isn't sleeping too great.

I just love being a mother to this little girl.

Bryson is 7

I really can't believe Bryson is 7.  For some reason I expect Jaron to keep getting older but not the others kids.
Bryson chose to have a quit birthday.  We bought a new Wii game that he could play as much as he wanted on his birthday.  He took treats to school and had a great day there.  We went to McDonalds for dinner and then ate cake and opened presents.  He asked for his own set of Lego's so we got him Ninja Turtle Lego's so that they were easy to tell apart from all of Jaron's City Lego's.  This stayed with the theme of the cake too.  I used the modeling chocolate left from Eldon's cake and made Ninja Turtles.  They were super awesome if I say so myself. He also wanted brownie and cookie for his cake.  So it all around was a really good cake I thought.

Bryson is almost 4'3" his favorite things are:
Food ~ Taco Soup
Color ~ Red
Song ~ "I'm Coming Home"- Skylar Grey, because he likes her voice
Subject ~ P.E.
Things he likes ~ recess, Wii, build Lego's, play with action figures, play with friends

What a fun and unique kid he is.  He sure like to try to do new things and be funny. 

Kayla is 5 months old

So little miss has really started grabbing for things.  She is using her hands better and better every day.  Since she can use her hands she now grabs her bows and eats them.  So bows don't last long.
She loves the few foods we have given her.  Zucchini was her first food, then peas, and oatmeal.  She didn't really like applesauce but maybe it was the texture or temperature.
Kayla rolled over on Sep. 6th from her tummy to her back.  When we lay her down she kicks and moves all over the floor.
She is chewing on everything and has started to teeth we think.  It looks like 4-6 teeth are in the race to be the first tooth.  We will see who wins within the next few months.  She is REALLY fussy now though.  We are hoping it is just the teething and not something more.

Kayla's 4th Month

Kayla is growing up way too fast.  She was 4 months on August 15th.  Her 4th month Kayla:
~Took a bottle and spent the night at Gram's on Aug. 13th
~Started trying to grab things with her hands
~Started to sit up with support
~Smiles and Laughs often
~Weight: 14lb. 9oz.

At her 4 month appointment the Dr. said to start her on solids.
Kayla had her neck adjusted again and this time I think it is fixed.  Her doctor showed me how to stretch it out, but she hates it.  It appears that after her adjustment that she has the right amount of mobility so I only do the stretches every few days.  He also recommended that she not lay on the back of her head to promote normal shaping. So we have her sitting up most of the time when she is awake. Last he said when she sleeps to always lay her on her left side of her head since she seems to favor laying on the right side. With these modifications I have seen a great improvement in the shape of her head.  I think it is safe to say that no helmet is going to be needed.

Kayla's 3rd Month

Little Miss didn't have her 2 month check up until June 24th.  She was 12lb. 14oz.  At three months she was 13lb. 11oz.  Her growth is consite
nt and she is in the 80-90th percentile for everything.
The doctor noticed that she had a slight labial adhesion. Let me just go into this now.  It was very  slight and he didn't seem too concerned since it wasn't closed enough to cause infections.  So we just let it be.  Well on July 14th I had this feeling I should check things out. I noticed that it was closed.  She was still having some wet diapers so there was an opening somewhere but i couldn't see it.  So I called the pediatrician and we took her down the next day to have it looked and and taken care of.  Dr. Peterson was really surprised it was so closed and he tried applying a little pressure and it popped right open.  Dr. Peterson said that it must have just sealed to open that easily.  What a blessing and little Miss is back to normal.
I also noticed that her head was not turning to one side and that the back of her head was flatter on one side than the other.  So I took her in to have that taken care of.  Her neck muscle is so tight from how she was in the womb that it will take a few treatments to get it loose enough that she can move her head like normal.  Yes, I guess the lack of fluid in the womb and the position she sat in (head down and turned side ways, ouch!) contributed to this tight muscle.
Kind of a negative start, but Kayla, is doing great.  She is much happier now that she can move her head more normally. She HATED her two month shots.  I think that it is so sad.  She didn't get a fever so that is good.  She also recovered within a few days so future shots are still going to happen even if mommy takes it rather hard when she cries so much.
Kayla is not a good sleeper.  She has a hard time sleeping at night.  Not really sure what is up. She takes three distinct naps in the day and eats every 3-5 hours.  At night it seems she does really well some nights and other she is up every hour.
Daddy was lucky enough to get some really good belly laughs out of her on moving day.  Which we have both agreed was a tender mercy.  On a regular basis a few giggles is all we get at a time. 
Kayla first this month included: the Zoo, fireworks (she did great), and swimming.
Kayla likes to be held.  She requires a lot of attention when she is awake.  But I wouldn't trade our little princess for anything.  So if you visit and our house is a mess, just know that it's all okay and that this little spirit I was blessed to be given is taken care of, NIGHT and day.

Kayla's 1st and 2nd Month

Kayla 1 month old

 Kayla's first month of life was a really good time for her and I.  I was able just to cuddle with this new little angel for the first two weeks.  This is the first baby that has been allowed to sleep in bed with Don and I.  She had a really hard time sleeping on her own, as did I.  I am a very light sleeper so I didn't sleep too great with her in the bed with us, but she sure did.  Kayla grew a lot in her first month of life.  She weighed 7lb. 4oz. at birth, 6lb. 14oz. at 1 day old, 7lb. 8oz. at 1 week, 8lb. 4oz. at 1 1/2 weeks, 8lb. 10oz. at 2 weeks, and 10lb. 10oz. at 1 month old.  Kayla does not like to be swaddled.  Her arms and legs have to be free to move.  When she is hungry she grunts for food.

Kayla 2 months old

By month two Kayla is smiling away!  Her first smile was for brother Bryson on May 21st.  She now sleeps in her own bed, but often still in the bassinet really close to mom, so I can put my hand on her if she needs me. She was blessed on June 1st by her daddy.  Those that were in her blessing circle included: Don Eldon Hughes, Kent Barlow, David Hughes, Kim Barlow, Scott Barlow, Tyson Barlow, Jared Hughes, Andrew Friere, and Shawn Hoth. This month Kayla also traveled to Redding California to get Grandma and Grandpa Barlow from their mission. Then went to Zion's National Park for the Barlow Family Reunion.  What a month for this small little girl.  She did fabulous in the car! States that she visited this month:Nevada, California, and Oregon.
