Playing Peekapuke

We have been a bunch of sickies for the past week.  Last Wednesday I started to feel a little off and was battling on and off nausea and stomach aches.  Each day I felt a tad worse and by Sunday I was glued to the couch sipping Gatorade while eating popsicles and saltines.

Braedon started feeling sick on Saturday afternoon and kept getting worse.  Yesterday he was so dehydrated and out of it for hardly eating or drinking anything for three days, we decided to take him to the doctor.  He got a prescription for his stomach and instructions to try to get as much Pedialyte and Pediasure in him has possible.  The boy went 2 days without peeing!  He was also very close to having to get some fluids through an IV.  He was really worrying me, but yesterday afternoon he finally peed!  Yay for pee!  This morning he is actually up playing around a bit.  It is so nice to have my upbeat boy back because I sure missed him.

Luckily, Adi has not gotten it yet, and I hope we are out of the woods and she will continue to stay healthy.  I have been doing my best to keep her separated from the rest of the sickies.  Derek seems to be fighting it and hopefully he can get through it like a champ.  However, we all know how boys can be:)

Here are some pictures of my two cuties from last week.

Other than trying not to puke, we have been packing!

We have been doing little bits each day and Derek was a rock star this weekend while I was feeling under the weather and got a lot done.

We pick up and pack the moving truck on Sunday and then are out of here Wednesday morning.  For those that don’t know, we are moving back to Seattle.  After the move I will go into more detail!

10 Months!

021

This little lady was 10 months old on the first!

016

I seriously can’t believe how fast she is growing.  It makes me a little sad!

030

Her personality is definitely making an appearance and I have a feeling she is going to be our drama queen, and that three year old who has a fit on the ground in the middle of the ice cream aisle kicking and screaming.

She is spunky, demanding, loud, and the cutest little girl I have ever seen!  She is going to keep me busy for sure!

Milestones:

-She says “mama” on a regular basis

-Is crawling everywhere and has mastered going up the stairs

-She pulls herself up onto furniture or whatever she can get her hands on and has started cruising.

-She has 6 teeth!!

-She is communicating a lot more by signing milk, all done, and will respond with, “yeah.”

-If you take something from her that she wants she will LET YOU KNOW!

-She LOVES her brother

I sure do love this girl!

Braedon plays the Wii

 

Play like Braedon and it might just count as a real workout!

A new facial expression

This is Braedon’s serious face.

029

He practices randomly throughout the day.  Even though this means serious business, I can’t help but laugh.

Wine Country

Yesterday morning we headed up to Sonoma to enjoy the day wine tasting.  Before we left, we researched some of the kid friendly wineries and they did not disappoint.  I would say that fun was had by all!
Before we could start tasting, we needed to make sure everyone had a full belly.
033
The first winery we went to had animals, scooters, and other games outside for the kids.
034
036
038
The second winery had big barrels of wine to drink…or just look at.
039
At the Sonoma Wine Shop Braedon had a bit of a crush on our host.  He drew her a picture and told her that "you are pretty".
046
After eating lunch and visiting another tasting room, we let the kids play at the park for a bit.
049
053
Then it was on to another winery.
060
062
All the wine was really good!
Maybe a little too good.
068
I was banned from baby duty for the rest of the trip.
079
I don’t understand why either.  (I had to make a quick trip into Starbucks that ended up taking way too long and I came out to Lacie helping Braedon pee on the Jeep tire in the Starbucks parking lot... - Derek)
065
On our way home we went over the Golden Gate Bridge.

We had a great day spent up in wine country!
