All, Bluebonnets, Easter, and Shades

Well, I have to say, April is turning out to be an exciting month for us. So here's the story...
  
I was rounding up the recycling into one area so that I could rinse the plastic containers. Among those plastic containers was an empty bottle of All laundry detergent. I set this on the floor next to the rest of the recycling thinking to myself "Hannah won't go over here to this stuff and if she does, I can certainly get to her before she actually makes it." Yeah, was I wrong!! I realized where she was and what she was doing about 2 seconds after the damage was done. She had taken a taste of the detergent residue around the spout and had some on her chin.
  
I totally freaked out! I grabbed a wet washcloth and proceeded to wipe out her mouth and gave her a sip of water out of my water glass. I called Ray while I was doing this so that he could find the number for Poison Control for me to save time. He got me the number and I called. A nice RN from Parkland Hospital in Dallas told me that since it was just residue that was possibly swallowed and not detergent, that Hannah would probably be fine. I was to give her 4-6 ounces of breastmilk and keep an eye out for mouth sores which was my sign to take her to the ER. The nice lady also told me not to worry if Hannah threw up; however, she didn't really think that would happen since Hannah only got a taste of residue.
  
Well, Hannah didn't develop mouth sores and didn't throw up. She was furious about having her mouth rinsed out and let me know about it. =) I fed her and got her down for a nap like nothing had happened.

Fortunately, Easter weekend wasn't quite as exciting. We went to stay with my parents for the weekend and took some wonderful pictures of Hannah sitting in the bluebonnets in front of my mom's house. Hannah seemed to think this was a fantastic game and was really pleased when one of the dogs tried to check her out.
  

We visited with my grandparents and also with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Everyone enjoyed playing with Hannah and were thrilled every time she smiled.

Hannah also got her first Easter basket bright and early Sunday morning! It included her first baby doll, sippy cups, and plastic plates, forks, and spoons.

Fine, I'll Smile for the Camera


I stood in for Hannah during the Easter egg hunt and even put her initials on one of the eggs I decorated. Sadly, no one liked my idea of issuing paint ball guns or crossbows to the egg hunters. I just thought it would add a Halo-style or Hunger Games-esqe feel to the hunt, but no, it wasn't to be.



The Easter Egg Hunters

My aunt and uncle were determined to have an Easter egg hunt because it's tradition, so that would be why all the hunters are um...so old. LoL. The only person under the age of five (Hannah) can't walk yet so the task was left to us. I can tell you that everyone seemed to have fun even though certain guys found their eggs, ate the candy, and rehid the empty eggs.  I think I only had three eggs with candy in them.  Ha ha ha.

These pictures were not a part of the Easter weekend stuff, but they were taken only a few days later, so I thought I would share.

Here's our girl showing off her cool shades that finally fit her. Well, they fit her for about five minutes before she broke them. =(



Sup?





Playing It Cool Like Dad



Up Next! I plan to finish my "Chocolate Tasting" post this week so keep an eye out!
