Lots to say…not sure what she’s saying but lots to say.

Hello everyone!
In true Lewis fashion, the blog has been neglected. Since the last update, quite a bit has happened.
My parents have been up to visit twice, with the most recent being last weekend. Chloe has developed a ton in just a short period of time from when they saw her a few weeks ago and now. She is all about telling everyone about how she feels in the morning. She also has been perfecting her war cry.

She also has a pink standing saucer that she loves to play in now. As long as she isn't puking, mom and dad love her in it too! Speaking of puking, that is still going on but solids are making a positive difference. She didn’t care so much for the rice cereal so we tried oatmeal, which she loved. Then we started peas on Saturday and clearly she likes them.
While my parents were in town, we also went to a KU pep rally here in KC. Chloe got to break out one of MANY KU outfits she has received. She was a little apprehensive about Baby Jay but seemed to like Big Jay.
Also since last updating the blog, the Lewis family went on vacation! We went to the Lake of the Ozarks with the Dunaway’s, Holding’s, and Scott’s girlfriend, Alyssa. We stayed in a beautiful house right on the water and did jet skis, boating/tubing, parasailing, and quite a bit of eating! Terri was on baby patrol with her grandbabies while the older kids played on the lake. On the youtube site, you have to watch the tubing videos, especially the one of Alyssa and Scott…you’ll easily figure out why.
Chloe did great on the car ride down and we only needed to stop once. On the way home, she slept the whole way so it was great. Grandma Karen watched Maddie and Lawrence while we were gone, and those two had to feel like they were in heaven with Chloe not around!
I have talked more with the chair of the peds department at KU, and I’ll start being an attending there in late September or early October 2010.
Kelly had a near breakdown when she got told they needed her to go to San Francisco for 2 days on fairly short notice. After coming to grips with the situation, she was at the airport in KC and her flight out of KC kept getting delayed. Ultimately, she never left town because she would have not made her connecting flight in Denver. Thus, Chloe and dad didn’t have to be forced to be without mom for a night.
Chloe also had her 6 month checkup on August 13th. She tipped the scales at 13 lbs 9 oz. She is in the 8th % for weight, 2nd % for height, and 25th % for head circumference so she’s a short girl with a big brain.
There are a bunch of new pictures and probably some old ones in the attached gallery.

Today we got a new toy.
And here are a few more pictures.

Goings on…
We apologize for not keeping things up for awhile on the blog. I’m currently working nights, and Kelly has been working a fair amount during the day and at night from home so work alone has been busy. It’s been tough also because I have not been able to see Kelly or Chloe much during the week except for about an hour to two hours at most each day and that is in the morning when I get home before they leave. Only one more week of nights for me and then my schedule goes to a fairly relaxed one during the next couple months. Life for us should slow down some. Plus, we leave for the lake in two weeks! It will be a well timed break for the Lewis’!
There has been one large event recently for us. Last week, the chair of the peds department at KU told me he wants to discuss hiring me as a faculty member for the year between residency and when I start my fellowship training for hematology/oncology. It would be a position that will likely include me doing some outpatient peds, urgent care, full term nursery, and inpatient care. The nursery isn’t something that I enjoy but it is fairly laid back and any kids that are remotely sick get transferred to the NICU so there is little stress involved with it. The inpatient setting is what I enjoy most and I’d rotate with a few other doctors. Nothing is close to final and things are just in the in the beginning stages, but I suspect this will be where I end up for a year after residency.
Kelly has been getting increasingly busier with work, which has been even more difficult since she’s really the only person around to take care of Chloe Monday-Friday afternoon. We almost had our first real crisis a few weeks ago…Kelly was told she would need to travel for a few days to Memphis. I’m not sure Kelly would have been able to tolerate being away from Chloe for more than a day so it’s a good thing her trip got squashed.
Below are some pictures we took of Chloe recently.
Chloe’s film debut!!!
After a nerdy ill-informed Best Buy employee telling us the new computer we bought had everything we needed to transfer videos from the camcorder to the computer, we realized we needed a fire wire card. It then took us driving all over half of KC to find a place that stocks fire wire cards for slim desktop CPUs. Finally, all things are installed and after much delay…here’s Chloe!
