Day Before Easter

We drove back to the coast yesterday. Adia slept the whole way back and was refreshed, but starving. I didn't know exactly what to feed her, but discovered she loves mandarin oranges. I've never seen her gobble something up so fast. She also ate a bunch of cheese and puffins. She hadn't had a bottle at all, but also wouldn't drink any milk. She does like to drink out of a straw though. I bought her a little blue bunny with a straw top that she loves. She gets excited to drink out of it, but I'm betting won't drink milk out of it.

After eating, we went picked up Tanae and went out to Gamma and Gampa's house. Adia was excited to see her Aunt and Unky too. Adia and Tanae are great playing together. Adia was happy to be able to run after Tanae. They haven't seen each other since Adia started walking. They would chase each other around, try to hug and fall flat. Adia cried a few times, but after a few hugs from me, went back to chasing and playing. Surprisingly, they're both pretty good a sharing too. Sometimes there are disagreements, but it's gotten much better. I think it helps that Adia can fight back too.











Gamma read Adia a book. Auntie Colie shared yummy strawberry ice cream. Gampa made bbq hamburgers which Tanae thought were yummy, but Adia wasn't into. She normally loves them. Instead, all she wanted were mandarin oranges and tater tots. After dinner it was egg dying time. Adia was getting tired and cranky since it always already after 7 and she's normally in the tub by then. She hung out with Unky Eck and then Gamma while Tanae and I attempted to dye eggs. We ended up with blue and green fingers, but Tanae loved it.






Eventually Adia got super cranky and we couldn't stay any longer. By that time Tanae was tired too. They both fell asleep in the car on the way back. They woke up when we took them out and it was bath time for both. Adia loved having a bath time buddy. Tanae enjoyed it too. Adia didn't even mind when Tanae poured water on her. Tanae kept filling her bucket with water and Adia kept using a measuring cup to empty it.

After bath time, Adia drank 8oz and passed right out. I was hoping for a good night, but she kept waking up. She woke up a little before 7, screaming bloody murder. It was the same scream from when she got her blood drawn. Nothing I did could make her stop. It was awful. Of course it also woke up Tanae. Eventually she stopped screaming and guzzled 8oz while I changed her diaper. Good thing I changed her too since she promptly pooped. It was one nasty poop too. Apparently she doesn't chew the oranges before eating them so it was mostly oranges. It didn't cause her diaper rash to get worse though and I'm happy about that.

Adia and Tanae were happy to see each other this morning too. They ate breakfast together, but were both being finicky eaters. Adia ate her toast and some more oranges, but no cheese. We took a shower and Adia quickly went down for a nap. Tanae kept asking for Adia and then it turned into asking for her mommy. Tanae's mommy picked her up. When Adia wakes up, we're headed back to Gamma and Gampa's house for Easter dinner and fun.
