What? We have a blog?

Yes, I have definitely been falling behind here, which is weird since Colin goes to bed at 8 or 8:30 now so I should have lots of time in the evening .  Oh well.

His first night sleeping in the crib

Let's see.  Colin was baptized.  It went well.  Kaida came to the front of the church with us, brought us all the hymnals from the front row, and then went back to sit with Grammy and Poppy. 

Colin is Baptized

Colin with Pastor Larry

A few ladies in the church have started knitting and crocheting blankets and prayer shawls and Colin was the first baby to receive one for his baptism.  It's very pretty.

I made him a  blanket as well.  It's blue and has an airplane skywriting his name across it.  the other side is fleece with an airplane pattern.

We went to Buffalo for Cinco De Mayo and Colin's first trip to New York.  He was good, but she was not ok with going to sleep that first night (that's usually how it is).  It's a little tricky having two of them sleeping in the same room (it worked fine for Disney but he's a little older now) but once they were asleep they didn't really wake each other up.

Last weekend we went to Addy's birthday party.  Kaida kind of learned to say Happy Birthday before we went.  It's more of a Happy Day than Happy Birthday.  And now it's Happy Day Addy.  Hopefully she'll learn that not every birthday is Addy's before we go to Ryan's party next weekend.

This week Kaida got sick on Wednesday.  She was very crabby after her nap and she didn't want to eat anything.  She was hot and had a fever of 103 and she needed to be right next to me all the time.  I got her the puke bucket but she didn't need it until we picked up JR.  I had to get my Rx from Target so we stopped there after we got JR and headed home.  When we were about 2 minutes from the house she threw up.  A lot.
After that her fever went down right away and she ate some crackers and juice.
Before she threw up JR and I had talked about giving her some tylenol before bed.  Once her fever was down I figured we wouldn't.  But we didn't actually talk about it so he gave her some before bed.

Thursday she got a really bad diaper rash.

Friday is started spreading down her legs so I called the Dr.  he said to just treat the rash.  lotrimin (it looked like a yeast rash), Cortisone, and eucerin, and call if it gets worse.  We were thinking it might have been hand, foot, and mouth (but she had no mouth sores).  And my friend said that her little boy had a weird rash after he took some baby motrin (but JR gave her tylenol).  It was all very mysterious.

Saturday it was on her arms and hands.  So I called the Dr. again and they said stop the lotrimin, keep going with the cortisone, and give her some claritin.  When I was cleaning up the kitchen I found the tylenol on top of the dishwasher.  Which was weird because JR gave the medicine to her upstairs.  Turns out there was ibuprofen in the medicine cabinet and that was what he gave her (she's never had it before).  So, maybe she is having a reaction to the baby motrin.

I gave her the claritin so we'll see how the rash does.  If it gets worse we need to go in on Monday.
We skipped Tony's birthday party thinking she was all sorts of crazy contagious when it may have just been hives.  Kids can be so lame sometimes.

Kaida
She knows her name is Kaida and she knows her last name is Hagy.  But she doesn't know her full name is Kaida Hagy.

She said Bacon tonight!  With the hard C sound and everything.

Last weekend she brought us a backyardigans book and JR asked her "Who's this?"  And she said "Pablo".  Not only did I not know that she knew his name, I didn't know she could say it either.  Those are the ones that always shock me, when I've never even heard her try to say a word but she answers a question with that word and she says it perfectly.

Colin
Colin is a very happy baby.  He smiles and laughs a lot.  He likes to watch Kaida and he's pretty chill as long as one of us is in his field of vision.  His favorite song is Shake Your Peanut from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse


 He really likes his thumb.

He likes the jumper too!
