Ker-Bear is on a "catch up" schedule with her immunizations due to her status as an international adoptee. According to her paperwork she actually received regular immunizations in the orphanage, but since we can't be sure of the potency or efficacy of them, our pediatrician started her over from scratch. Anyway, she got her last set at her two year check up and we were told we could come back 6 weeks later for the next round of shots. Well, 6 weeks turned into 6 months so we finally bit the bullet and took her earlier this week. Poor thing had to get 3 shots. She tried so hard not to cry and was successful for the first stick, but by the second, the silent tears started flowing and by the third, she was wailing. I felt so bad for her. I kept Motrin in her that night so she could sleep as she was complaining that her little legs were hurting. She's still due two more in a few weeks...uggh. And now for a random photo, because it's impossible for me to post without one.



I love this photo I took recently of Kerry and her Daddy spending a little lazy morning time together watching cartoons.



And I thought it was high time I posted a few recent Kerry-isms. It seems like she "grows out of them" no sooner than she develops them so I want to make sure I document them for later.


"fun-daids" = band-aids

dannee-yions= dandelions

"peena-buffer" = peanut butter


"cuppickapocket?" = can you carry my sippy cup in your pocket?


"woff" = floss


"motor-sickle"= motorcycle

And my favorite, when she's saying the blessing at mealtime now she includes:

"awl-a-da-crunchy" = all of the country

and

"awl-a-da-shoulders"= all of the soldiers =)

Her daddy really loves her and after watching him get her ready that one morning he is a really great daddy too. He even did her hair.

I love the Kerry-isms! Such a cutie with her Daddy too. I have been debating what to do about Makenna's shots too. I didn't want to repeat all of them that seemed so well documented, but our new pediatrician kinda wants to do it. Take care:)

Oh my goodness, she is adorable! Love the photo of her and her daddy.

We got blood tests done for Lilah and they showed she she had all the necessary immunizations, so we didn't bother with catch up. Thank goodness, because the ones she had to get were more than enough for me to cope with, never mind Lilah. I was crying right along with her. Poor sweet Kerry Lu.
