Angela here! We finally had some good snow to play in this past weekend. And about time! I was starting to get antsy because I invested in snow gear and boots for my boy and he had only worn it once this winter. Hudson could not have been more thrilled for those 20 minutes that he played outside. He attempted to make snow angels, "cooked" food for us in his play house and even went sledding a couple times. But once the snow got into his gloves, it was all over.
And off they go...into the woods and up to the hill with Penny Lane and the sled.
My princess had a rough week last week. She started developing this scaly, itchy rash on her arms, knees and head. Then she got an out-of-control diaper rash that wasn't getting better after five days. Daycare called and thought it was a food allergy since she's eating solids now. So we took her to the doctor and kept her home for a day. Turns out it was a contact allergic reaction. Luckily nothing food related. So I let daycare know and apparently they just changed cleaning products after renovating the building and getting new hardwood floors. And come to find out, they were sending kids home all week due to rashes! Crazy. Just glad we figured out the source.
This was the mild version...
Passed out after a dose on Benadryl.
And even though she was itchy, flaky and looked like she contracted some crazy disease, she was the happiest little girl! We still call her Perfect Adley. And so does Hudson.
Hudson had a birthday party to attend to over the weekend and it was NUTS! There were about ten boys (mostly age 4) at Scene 75, which is a ginormous indoor area with bounce houses, bowling, go-karts, mini golf and games. I have never seen so many little boys with so much energy. They played mini bowling nonstop for two hours. And by "play," I mean they slammed and threw bowling balls down the lanes over and over and over again. Then they would fight over the balls, resulting in every single kid having at least two meltdowns. It was exhausting and hilarious to watch, and wine was definitely necessary once we got home. But the boys had a blast and that's all that mattered. Cousin Anderson was there as well and we were in charge of getting him to Lolly's house since the Bockelmans had a dinner date. As we loaded up the crew (Adley was being perfect and sleeping), those two boys were soooo excited to be in the car together. Anderson kept saying: "Angie, I'm really far back! Can you see me?" And then Hudson would let out this belly giggle. Then they had screaming matches on who could be the loudest (another reason why I needed a beverage). But I thought this pic was cute.
Miss Adley has hit the sixth month mark! After having a doctor visit last week for the rash, we went back again this week for a well-visit and shots. She's finally starting to chunk up and get some good rolls. She 50th percentile weight and 25th percentile in height (16 lbs and 24.5 inches long). These are by far my favorite "month" pictures...
If I could caption the pic below she would be saying: "What? Just turning 6 months. Ain't no thang."
The kids enjoyed a fun Valentine's Day as well; they got spoiled. They first got to open a couple presents that the Nally's sent them in the mail. Hudson had to show Adley how to use each and every toy or book or cup. And all day long he screamed "Happy Valentine's Day" as he danced around the house waving his arms like a madman. Which in turn made Adley giggle all day long and be just as excited.
Hope everyone has a great weekend in store. Chris and I are headed to Tampa tomorrow sans children for a long weekend, woohoo! SUN! SAND! Warm weather! Chris is being recognized as being one of 2015's top 5 reps at Nielsen in all of North America! So they're flying us down for a couple days. Perfect timing after having all this freezing weather and snow. And I know I said earlier that I wanted it to snow, but now that it's here, it can melt away and Spring can come. The kids are staying at LollyPop's. Hudson has already promised that he would be on his best behavior. He said: "I try my best. I be perfect, like Adley!" You can't help but laugh at the boy :)
