Valentines Day Cards
The girls made their own Valentines Day Cards and we took some photos to try and get some to use on the cards: they turned out very cute!!
Snoozin
A couple weeks ago we went to a new coffee house - indoor play area for kids in Gig Harbor called Play-A-Latte. The girls had a BLAST and Emma threw a fit when we had to leave. It is a bit pricey but nice option for when it is too cold or wet to play outside...but I would recommend being able to spend some time there and do not go on a Friday morning! Emma got a good snooze in the car at least and sunglasses are not a must-wear while we drive!
Girls will be Girls
The girls have bath crayons that they usually like to draw all over the wall and tub with. However, Angelica decided that they would also work well as nail polish for the toes...so Emma followed suit and they now enjoy painting their nails while in the bath!!
Cradle Cap
Both Angelica and Emma had cradle cap as babies so I was expecting it to hit Michaela at some point. While it definitely is not as bad as the other two....it helps that she has a lot of hair to hide it. Burt's Bees Apricot Oil though basically clears it right up!! I just rub a good amount on her head and let it sit and soak in. Then while I give her a bath....take a baby brush and scrub the area really well....all the yucky skin will flake right off and yet the skin is soft with the oil. It works wonders and I love it...she even got to sport a little Mohawk hair-do!
Twirling with Uncle Casey
We went to Caitlin's big ultrasound day a couple weeks ago.....we are looking forward to meeting a beautiful baby GIRL in June! After that we went out to eat dinner and before we left we stopped at Caitlin and Casey's place. Emma and Angelica decided to wear Uncle Casey out by twirling around on the chair....we were all laughing because Emma would get so dizzy she could not walk straight!
Catching Up
Well, our January and February have definitely been a few weeks of colds and sniffles and trying to get better. These cold bugs have hit us hard. I had a sinus infection and since Sunday have been feeling yucky again and today think it is another sinus infection. Whenever I get a cold it settles in my tonsils and they get so inflamed and swollen and sore. I spent THREE hours at Prompt Care last week for them to say it was viral and go home! UGH. But thinking I may need some drugs now....
We also had a not-so-fun experience with poor Angel. So last month when we took the girls to Prompt Care, the doctor said she had an ear infection with her bronchitis. Well these past couple of weeks we had been joking that Angel was starting the "selective listening" game because she would not respond or was saying "what?" a lot! Well....one day she was acting a bit off and then I took her temp and she had a high fever and still the cold, plus had gotten a red rash all over her belly. So we took her to the pediatrician and they said that she now had a bi-lateral ear infection and that the right ear was REALLY bad....they said the Prompt Care doc did not write ear infection in her chart and that the meds she had been on didn't even treat the ear...so basically this infection had been there for so long and now gotten so bad and the reason for the rash on her belly. I was so mad and poor thing really couldn't hear with her bad ear infections!! Talk about mama guilt!! I guess we are not taking her to Prompt Care unless we have to, but only to pediatrician!! UGH.
I just took her in for a check up this week and ears are looking better, but still has a cold. I took Michaela in too because she has a yucky cough because of her cold. Everything from lungs to ears etc were fine though, so just the sniffles....PLEASE GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE SOON. Ready to be better. Have a lot to catch up on!! It has been warm here and today the girls got to go to the park and run around and play, they loved it!!!
