Stranger Danger

Kinley has entered into the phase where she only wants her mommy or daddy. If anyone else tries to hold her, play with her, or in some cases even look at her she will just cry. I must admit it was kind of cute at first, but now it is a little old. It would be a nice break for Kevin or I if Kinley could handle someone else looking after her for a little while, but that is not the case right now. Kinley has picked up the "stranger danger" lesson early in life. Now we just have to work on teaching her who really is a stranger and who are family/friends.

As far as feeding goes, we have hit a plateau. Kinley is taking about 500mls from bottles and 200 mls during her night tube feed. We have been stuck at this point for a couple of weeks now. Kinley sees her OT from the Infant-Toddler program this week, so we will see what suggestions she has for us.

Other than that, Kinley has an appointment at Children's Mercy and a Parents as Teachers visit this week. The last week or so has been pretty nice without a lot of appointments, but that little rest is over. Back to business Kinley!

Hey! When are you guys going to OT? We have an appt. Wed. a.m. to work on trying solids....maybe we will cross paths? :)

Jackson has done the stranger thing randomly but not often....I am dreading when he does it consistently. Hopefully it doesn't last long!!! Not fun. :)

Oh Juan Pablo used to be like that, sometimes he still hates to be hold by strangers. If someone look at him, he hides in my neck or turns around. Thank God this phase won't last forever!

Sofie has Stranger Danger too. It started around the age Kinley's at now. It is kind of cute sometimes, but you're right about there being times when you hate to see them scared of other people. Sofie was pretty scared of her docs and nurses in the hospital unless we were holding her. When they'd wake her up at night doing vitals, she was frantic and wide-eyed until we woke up and realized someone was there. Once we ran over to comfort her she was okay knowing we were still there. Her docs all say it's a good developmental milestone though, so even though it's a bit of a bummer sometimes, it is a positive sign for development!
