Cool ball at the beach house

Peek a boo!

Finding a sand dollar for Mom

Beach weekend

We went to Monterey with Jaap this weekend. He has a friend with a beach house that we were able to use Saturday night. We had a great time and Hai truly enjoyed himself.

We only had one major fall off the high chair and one hive outbreak all weekend. I hope that's not a harbinger of what our San Diego vacation will be like - otherwise I better familiarize myself with the locations of urgent cares in the San Diego area. (no, we didn't need any urgent care this weekend, just some Benadryl...)

Hai played on the beach and in the sand, and found every toy in the beach house (and there were a few). I've included some video links.

Hope you all had a beachy weekend too!

Love all,

Melissa & Hai

Hai has hives (say that 5 times fast!!)

It's a medical mystery...

For the last week or so, Hai has had a virus. It started with a "normal", yucky, stomach thing... and now it's gone to a break out of hives on his hands and feet every morning. it's only in the morning, and only on his hands and feet. Yes, I washed all the bedding (and in fact, I'm moving out the mattress we put in a week or so ago to see if that helps). And yes, it's getting better day by day... but it is certainly weird.

My theory is it's something in the bed, carpet, or something. The cleaning lady is coming today and will use my HEPA filtered vacuum on the whole place... Hopefully Hai's hives will go away soon and that tongue-twister will be a thing of the past!

Love all,

Melissa & Hai
