Valentine's Day
This little lover boy and I had a fun day together while big brother was at school. He is seriously one of the most easy-going babies EVER. I am loving it!
I got Kam a little "special treat" after picking him up. He said it was "delicious." While I am proud of his growing vocabulary, I get so sad that he is growing up so fast. He definitely has some crazy toddler moments but he is generally so much fun. Saying things like "delicious" or "dangerous" is so much different than "yummy" and "owie." He actually came up to me the other day and asked if I was "frustrated." It kills me!
And for a little comparison... I don't think they look all that similar!
I should probably document Brody's "bump." He has a Hemangioma lump just above his left ear. You can probably see it best in the first picture... it pushes down the top of his ear a bit. A lot of time Hemangioma appears as a "strawberry" or bright red, flat birthmark on a child's body. Brody's is a deeper lump that sticks out from his head but it is mostly skin tone. It should start to slowly decrease in size around a year old and be completely gone a few years later. I first went to the doctor about it around 2 months because it looked like a spider bite or something. It has certainly gotten bigger but not at an alarming rate. The pediatrician said she wouldn't send me to dermatology until it was the size of a golf ball... so lets hope it doesn't come to that! FYI - the Pedi warned me not to google image this but I didn't listen! Don't make the same mistake!

Girls weekend in FL
Last month some girlfriends and I jetted down to southern Florida for a fantastic weekend away. The parents of a good friend have a townhouse on one of the barrier islands. It is just a few steps to both the beach and the intercoastal. It is crazy how long we have know each other. One of the girls and I have been friends since 1988!
The weekend wasn't too eventful... which was perfect for me! The first day there we had a tennis tournament. It was mostly lots of laughing, missing shots, and drinking pina coladas. My kind of tournament!
We made a special dinner for our hostess. We happened to be there for her birthday!
How great does she look! Turning 35 looks good on her :)
We rented scooters one afternoon. We drove about 1.5 hours up the A1A (try to say that without adding "beachfront avenue" to the end). We had lunch and drove back. It was a bit of a challenge at first. Mostly for me! Turning one of these things can be tricky :)
I picked up a little toy for this guy. He loved it. I was so happy to be back to the kids. Joe had a little help from family during the week but he rocked a weekend alone with the kids. I even came home to a clean house! Husband of the year!!!
