Blood Wings and Tender Tushies

First off, Congratulations to Karl!! He graduated Air Assault School today, also known as the "hardest 10 days in the army" (I'd beg to differ, he wasn't that black and blue!!) We're proud of him all the same though! Hailey and I gladly attended his graduation, well sort of. We were told to be there no later than 1045, so in true Susan fashion . . . we arrived at 1057. Graduation began at 11, so we walked around a little, visited with some of Karl's soldiers and next thing I knew it was over?! Apparently the ceremony was going on inside, whoops!! I just assumed since so many people were gathered outside that it was going to take place there. Ohwell!!! When Karl made it over to us I noticed a little bit of red on his uniform, trust boys to torture one another by initiating blood wings ---



Following graduation we went out for a delicious German lunch at EdelWeiss Cafe with Jay and Pete. We all enjoyed JagerSchnitzel, even Hailey was a fan!!

After lunch the bug and I came home. My plan was to start baking cupcakes for tomorrow's monthly birthday playdate, but Hailey had a different idea. Any time I even considered leaving the play area (ie stood up) she would begin screaming!! Come to find out when I changed her diaper she has her first ever case of diaper rash!!!! Talk about being handed a raw deal -- fevers, ear infections, teeth coming in (they're still trying to break through) and now her antibiotics have given her a little case of diaper rash!! So to relieve her pain a little I gave her some fresh air treatment . . .


Guess it worked, because she was one happy, pantsless little bug pushing around her walker!!!



Let's hope we are PAST all of the ouchies for the time being!!! I don't think I can handle anymore, so I can't imagine how Hailey is coping so well.

With Leo's four teeth coming in, he's been a little 'runny'. It's given him a bit of a rash. I swear by some air time :) and a little butt paste!
Congrats to Karl for getting his wings!

She is so so so so adorable!! Poor thing has had to deal with a lot lately, though :-( I hope she gets to feeling all the way better soon. It doesn't seem to keep her down too long, though! Tell Karl Congratulations!

There you go wee Hailey bug nothing like running around butt naked, certainly makes for a happy baby. Mind you Papa still does it and no sign of diaper rash. Hopefully he just looks at the blog pictures and not the comments or Nonni might be in trouble. Heee Heee. See you soon wee streaker.

Love Hailey's little bum peeking out. You know she's going to kill you for not only taking those photos, but for publicly posting them for all to see : ) We already have plans to sit Greyson's first girlfriend down for a slideshow of his life....oh the embarrassment awaits!
