Happy 30th Birthday Mike!
We spent Mike's birthday weekend in Ocean City, Maryland with his family. We left on Friday after I got home from work and to our surprise traffic was awesome! It was still late when we got there, so basically we just unpacked and went to bed; though Mallory decided she didn't want to sleep in the pack n' play, so she spent the night sleeping on Mommy.
Saturday we decided it was pool time. Mallory liked the water as long as it was just her feet. If she got any other part of her wet, she was not a happy camper. The water was pretty cold; even I was just sitting on the top step down into the pool. Overall, it was a nice day, though pretty hot. And poor little Mallory's face and elbows paid the price for that. No sunburn (since we were using SPF 60) but her ezcema flared like crazy!
We decided no more outside time for her for the rest of the long weekend. Mommy took full advantage and we snuggled, watched tennis, and Mommy finally got some down time to read while Mal napped. I think we used almost an entire tube of Aveeno lotion to try to get rid of the redness and by the time we left on Monday, there was some definite improvement. This week we are testing out "California Baby" cream. After only one day of use, we are almost ezcema free. This little jar might become my new best friend!
Daddy had a nice birthday and we know he will enjoy his presents! A giftcard for a massage from Mommy and "Daddy Day Care" DVD from Mal. Here's to many, many more birthdays to come!
