Kotah had a sleep study about 2 weeks ago. The results came back this week. There is something wrong...... but they don't really know what. She has over 170 episodes at night but they are not major enough to indicate what the problem is. The only thing they know for sure is that she needs oxygen at night.
I'm very grateful for oxygen, but this is a little frustrating. I did get asked the other day if she could be used as a case study. Maybe that will turn up answers.

The little (hilarious) things
Because I don't have a smart phone and can post the everyday funnies online, I keep them locked in text messages on my phone. But my small phone is running out of space, so I am going to type them up here for your enjoyment.
Katie has her own way to sing songs. For example, "all the single ladies" is "all the single legs". "Que Sera Sera" is Que T Que T (Katie).
We saw a fire truck the other day and she was worried that Aunt Jennifer was on fire. Aunt Jenn introduced us to "this girl is on fire". Whenever we sing it, katie always yells and pretends she is on fire.
Aunt Jenn also told us about the screaming goat. So whenever Katie hears "trouble" she screams.
For anyone who knows scripture scouts, baby, pretending to be Nephi sings a song "I want to know for myself". The other day, Katie asked me if she could do something. I said no. She asked WHY? and then proceeded to sing "I want to know for myself".
She loves He-Man. She is also in a learning stage about "poop". Everyone poops. Every animal poops. One day she said "He-Man poops, but his poop is good poop cuz he is a good guy, but they dont have a potty in their castle." She knows that all animals poop because mommy refuses to get anything because it poops. The other day she said "But mom, if we got a small dog, it would just be small poop."
I tried to get her to eat her meatballs the other night and they were different sizes so I called them Daddy meatball, Mommy meatball and Baby meatball. It didn't work. "If we eat them, they will die!"
"I'm a kid and you're a dolt." (adult)
For the 24th of July parade, we walked down 30th and put blankets right on the corner the day before. It was about 330 and katie thought that the afternoon traffic was the parade. She sat and waved to all the cars for about 15 minutes.
She likes to eat Cheetos dipped in peanut butter.....
And today on a slightly teary note, I was downstairs doing laundry. Literally just gone for 1 minute and katie comes down the stairs saying "kotah wants to see you mom". I remembered then that kotah can scoot around on her bum quite well but I had left her in front of the couch so I wasn't too worried. I asked katie "Can you make sure she doesn't come down?" Trying to get katie out of my hair. She said "SURE!" (she loves to help with kotah, most times) and I could here her talking to her. As I am rounding the corner to come up the stairs with a basket of clothes and getting ready to tell katie that sitting at the top of the stairs wasn't really what I meant, I notice that katie has both arms wrapped tightly around kotah who had managed to get over to the top step and she was leaning back to keep her from falling down and just singing songs to her. Katie got to pick out a toy at the store for that one, and I have learned that Kotah can move, FAST!
Now for Kotah:
She can say quite a bit and loves to "sing". Tonight she started pulling herself and walking around the edge of a couch. This is a HUGE thing for her because it was one milestone the doctors were watching for in worries about delays. She still cant crawl on her hands and knees, but to go from sitting to standing and walking on her own is HUGE HUGE HUGE!
She loves to play with Katie. Anything to do with Katie makes her happy. They played peek a boo the other day and the tow of them were laughing for 30 minutes straight.
She loves her da-da and when she saw a picture of Ty the other day she cuddled with it while saying da da da da da. When I took it away (she wasn't supposed to have it) she cried DA DA!
She has been having a little rough week. She cries if I don't hold her. Like EVERY SECOND I'm not holding her. If I lay her down after getting her to sleep, she starts crying IN HER SLEEP until she wakes herself up. Sigh. Ty has been so helpful whenever he is home. Even if he is exhausted he will let me sleep in, or play with the girls so I can get stuff done, or clean the house. She has a sleep study tomorrow night. I hope it provides more detailed answers.
Kotah has two teeth. And when she wants to, she can leave marks. She loves to give flurburts and thinks they are kisses. She loves to play in a room with other kids in it. She can be quite content just watching everyone around her. She loves all of her new baby food. She can't eat alot, but loves to try everything. Katie gave her a cheeto puff the other day and she was so excited to eat what katie was eating. As she is moving around a lot, she is starting to loose her baby fat, but still is very stocky. She loves baths, being outside especially on the grass, Elmo, books, anything that is Katies, anything that is mommys, playing with the drum and drumsticks, Katie's room, Katie's hair, Katie's friends..... and so forth. She tries to say Katie's name "A-E".
