I've been a horrible blogger lately.
We had an extremely busy summer which started with surgery and ended with daddy moving to Florida to go to school for a year. But I miss blogging about my princess so let's get caught up!
May 29th Carly had her tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes placed in her ears.
She had moderate hearing loss due to fluid build up with was mostly likely made worse by her adenoids that nearly obstructed her nasal passage completely. She had kissing tonsils which means her tonsils were so large they were touching leaving her with about the size of a pinky as her airway. Her doctor was amazed that she did not suffer from severe sleep apnea due to her airway being so small and not being able to breathe through her nose. All of these things likely played a part in her poor eating habits and low weight.
Carly went into surgery weighing 30 lbs. and in 3 months she has gained 3 lbs.
Coincidence? I think not.
The volume no longer has to be turned up loud on everything and I don't have to yell for her to hear me. She isn't snoring at night and breathes through her nose.
Recovery was miserable but was very worth it!
June 2nd Carly had her dance recital. Yes, 4 days after surgery this little trooper danced in her recital and did AWESOME!!! She was so cute and made her Mommy and Daddy so proud!
We spent 6 weeks in Idaho this summer. Here is 12 of Carly's cousins which is about 1/4 of them.
(who are my great nieces and nephews) -my three are on the right, except for the one on the end-
Carly loves riding quads!
Playing dress up with more cousins.
Yes that mouse is real.
It's also dead.
Gross!
We scrubbed hands and arms very well after this.
I snapped this picture literally 15 seconds after she fell in the river up to her ears and that water was so cold! She just got up and kept on going!
My aspiring model after she dried off.
Carly started preschool August 7th and really likes her teacher. She was very disappointed to find out her teacher from last year would not be her teacher this year so I am glad she likes her new teacher.
I can't believe this is her last year in preschool and that next year she will be in kindergarten.
But let's not think about that right now.
Sniff, sniff.
