Thrush

Thrush is a yeast infection that causes white patches in the mouth and on the tongue. Thrush is most common in babies and older adults, but it can occur at any age. Well now that we have the definition out of the way...guess what both of my babies ended up with Thrush. I don't know why, but my guess is because they both like to spit up a lot!

But the stuff that we had to use to get rid of this is called Gentian Violet....this stuff turns everything PURPLE! It is funny and well you can't help take funny pictures of the kids with bright purple mouths...he he he.

Kahlan with Thrush 2011

Mom this pen tasted sooooo good...
I know once we did it with Sarah we had to do the same thing with Kahlan.

Sarah wanted to help feed Kahlan the pen...

As you can see the stuff gets everywhere! And to boot, if they spit up on you shortly after you put that in their mouth...yup you are purple also. But one good thing is it gets rid of the Thrush! Plus we get to have these funny pictures of our babies with bright purple mouths...

Kahlan Grace Lyle Blessing

Well Kahlan was blessed on April 10, 2011. We waited long enough so that Mom could be home from her mission and be there with us. Zach did an awesome job with the blessing!! But the week prior to the special occasion we had pictures done in the new dresses. My mom got both Kahlan & Sarah new dresses for the occasion and they were both beautiful! Thank you Mom!!  

A picture of the entire dress.

She was more interested in looking at Mom right here...love you Kahlan

 

Loved how she stuck out her tongue...so adorable.

 

Look ma I can hold my head up :)

 

This blanket she is laying on was made by a friend of mine at work. Thank you Kathie it is beautiful and went perfect with the dress and pictures.
