The Daily Davis: February/March

Oh my gosh - what happened to my blog?!?! Time has completely gotten away from me. Here is February and March up to date. I promise, everything else moving forward will be more organized .... well maybe :)

Swings!! One of the only sunny and warm days this past month.

RAR!! Thank you Ali and Ryder for introducing me to these Hallmark zip up costumes!! He was our little valentines day bear. Just wait until Easter :)

My Boys! The shorts and tank was clearly before the winter storms and rain

Kristin's baby shower

Mom drve through on Valentine's day, and then headed to Fredricksburg for Bunny's 60th birthday. Eli and I drove out there to meet up with them during the day, but I didn't plan on Eli getting sick and teething hard. Good thing Bunny is the Essential Oils Queen and brought him Clove. This was a life saver. Thank you so much Miss Bunny and thank you for letting us crash your birthday!

The magic touch! Eli was fussy all day, and Bunny was able to get him to go to sleep. Love this moment :)

Uncle Shua is in town!!!!! Joshua and Derek are best friends. For those of you who don't know, Derek met Joshua on his first day living in Austin on the bus ride to ACL. They parted ways at the festival, only to find each other sitting beside each other on the way home. What are the odds. Joshua recently moved to Chicago, so we are happy when he has to come down and visit clients for work.

When Joshua and Derek were roommates they had a standing weekly date night they called "NightCrawlers" (the name came from an Always Sunny episode). So it was only fitting that they had their little bromance evening ... except one minor detail... We were all out of diapers. Their Uber driver was nice enought to take them to HEB on their way home, and then of course they thought donuts were a proper way to end the evening. I love everything about this text message and stream of pictures. I think the upside down diapers box really pull it all together.

I took Eli grocery shopping with me for the first time. He actually loved it! I was more nervous than he was. I know people do this all the time, but call me crazy, I like my hour grocery shopping to myself. It's kind of therapeutic to me, and I actually like doing it. But I loved having my little helper with me.

Still loves his books!!

Poor Eli - this actually hurts my eyes! He was so sick off on on throughout the month. We now having everything under control. He had pink eye, a massive cough, ear infection and just all around crud coming out everywhere! The doctor gave us eye drops and amoxicillian (sp?). We tried everything they gave us for a week and really no difference. Finally, I resorted back to our trusty oils. For one day, I was religiously rubbing him down with lavender for his eyes, and RC for his cough, and we made our own ear drops (thank you ali) from garlic and olive oil. Eli was a new baby boy the very next day. Before he was just limp in my arms, and now we had our happy and dancing baby boy back. It was amazing!! Sometimes it gets so bad that you think nothing will help this, and I started second guessing everything that we do for ourselves and running towards medicine. The scenario really made me a believer again in our oils. The only difference is that you have to put them on every 1-2 hours for the max effect and we had them diffusing in every room.

Since we went to the doctor a few times this past month, Eli became obsessed with the aquarium. I think Eli would love membership to the Austin Aquarium for his birthday. (Hint Hint grandparents :)

Dede is in town!! Wayne had a minor procedure in Austin, so we were happy to visit with DeDe while she waited. It was so much fun to play and catch up!
