We had a great Easter weekend! It was very busy, but lots of fun. After 4 Easter Egg hunts, Addie is officially a pro. She had one at school on Friday, then we had her friends Olivia and Holland (and Olivia's parents Amy & Randy, and of course Aunt "Din" and Uncle "Cheese") over for dinner and an egg hunt Saturday, then we had two on Sunday - one at Nana and Grampa's, and one at Gran and Pop's! Phew! Needless to say, we are not giving her all of the candy she found.
Another big thing this weekend is that Addie gave up her pacifiers! We started last week by telling her that we were going to give them to the Easter Bunny so that he could deliver them to the babies out there who need them. She nodded her head each morning that she understood, but we were still unsure of how it would go when the weekend finally got here. It went GREAT! We kind of cheated a little bit because she was already asleep when we put her to bed on Friday (she had fallen asleep in the car). The same thing happened for her nap on Saturday. But Saturday evening, I put her to bed and she only fussed for about 5 minutes or so! We were so proud! She fussed even less Sunday night, and tonight when I put her down she didn't even whimper. I think I have been more reluctant to give up her pacis for my sake - my baby is becoming a big girl! Time goes by too quickly.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Adie wore jeans under her Easter dress, too! It was SO-O cold! We didn't stay outside long (and of course we had a meltdown when we had to come inside to "count our eggs."). She loves being outside more than any child I have ever seen. I think she would live in the grass if I let her!
Thanks for the diaper rash advice! I will definitely ask about it the next time I'm in Walgreens (which may be very soon if this doesn't get better!). We have always just used the warm water/soap method with a little bit of Baby Gold Bond. That powder has zinc oxide in it and it has always seemed to work. But this medicine, poor girl, it has done a number on her little bum.
Whew....I bet you are so happy to have that behind you! Way to go Kristen! Happy EAster!
