Adia was ready to play. We got her dressed, put on some shoes and a sweatshirt and off we went. When Scott opened the door, Adia squinted because it was so bright. He grabbed her sunglasses and she was actually happy to wear them. She kept them on for the longest time.
We decided to go to lunch. We haven't been out in a while. Adia happily sat in a high chair and ate all the foods I brought with us. The waiter gave her a fruit bowl. We ate the oranges out of it and attempted to feed her watermelon and honeydew. She put some honeydew in her mouth, but didn't like the taste. She ate a small piece of watermelon, but wasn't a huge fan of it either. It's probably a good thing she didn't devour it because when we got home I noticed hives on her chin and her eczema had a huge flare up. Her legs had several severe patches and it had suddenly appeared on her cheek, upper back and chest. I guess we have another food she can't eat. We discovered she likes iced tea though. She drank some out of my straw and wanted more. I poured a little into her sippy and she went to town. She's doing well with the new sippy cups. She knows how to hold them and tip back enough to drink. I think we've found a sippy that she may actually drink milk out of eventually.
Adia started to have a meltdown right before the bill came. I took her into the closed in lobby and she wandered around. She kept trying to open the doors and made faces at herself in the glass.
After Scott paid we headed over to Borders. Adia was going crazy running around the children's book area. She couldn't decide what book she wanted. She grabbed one about otters and yelled, "Cool!" when she picked it up. She soon dropped that one for a Barbie book with it's own PDA. We ended up getting her "Pickles to Pittsburgh" since it's a sequel to "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". She didn't seem to mind.
We knew she'd want to run around so we made our way to the courtyard. Adia became enthralled and slightly scared of the fountain. Her curiosity got the best of her and with me behind her, she got close enough to feel the water.
In order to get her to the grass, we had to pick her up. She wanted down immediately, but was willing her hold hands. Up the steps and into the grass. She started running like crazy until she saw another little girl. She started chasing her, but when the little girl became curious, Adia made her way to Scott. She's always curious, but cautious.
We had ice cream and then headed back the way we came. Adia saw a little boy in the ice cream parlor and made smiled at him. That freaked him out. She has a thing for older boys. When we headed back, Adia saw that little boy outside and may a beeline for him. I had to redirect her since he looked alarmed. She was happy to see the fountain again though.
Then it was back through the shopping center. Adia got sidetracked by a stuffed dog in the window. When she first saw it she said, "Oooh!" and got really excited. She kept bumping her head on the grass in order to get to it.
We were soon back in the car after a brief meltdown in Borders. She was silly on the ride home, despite not wanting me to strap her in.
Not long after we got home, Gamma dropped by. Adia was excited to see her, especially since she brought her a new fun book. Scott read it to her several times. After she left, Adia wanted dinner. She ate quite a bit and I gave her Benadryl in hopes of getting rid of her rash. She did well with the sippy at dinner and looked like she was going to fall asleep in her chair while drinking. She tried to escape the tub, midbath. It's kind of scary that she can get her whole leg out now. Scott got her out, dressed her and she immediately wanted a bottle. She's been out since 8:30, up once to be burped and then fell asleep, on her own, in her bed.
