For those of you who don't know what Toxicodendron radicans is, you don't want to. Daddy thought it would be a good idea to go out and pull weeds last week. I was really proud of him because the yard looks really good. But then daddy started to complain...then complain more. By the first signs of it, he thought it was a bug bite because there were a few small red dots, almost like a fire ant bite. Then it got worse and worse. A rash broke out and then oozing started. He and mommy thought it was an allergic reaction to the bug bite so daddy fought through it for a week. Then mommy remembered something...grandma Netz said she thought she saw poison ivy in our backyard the last time she was here. Now why mommy failed to mention this to daddy, we will never know. Why daddy didn't see leaves of three and think, hmm, maybe I shouldn't pull this with my bare hands, we'll never know. Come to find out, poison ivy was growing all over in our backyard. Daddy pulled a few of them but when he went out today to look, there was still quite a bit out there. Luckily he was able to get into the doctor on Friday to get a steroid shot before the weekend started. But things are getting worse and worse and the rash is spreading to more body parts. Remember, beware of leaves of three. Luckily, neither mommy nor I have not been affected by it.
I have my little routine down. I eat, then hang out in my bouncy chair and I'm really happy. I smile and try to talk to mommy and daddy but I don't think they understand what I'm saying.
To help pass the time, I read the book that mommy got me.
After I get done reading, down to the floor I go. I usually do tummy time first, then I swat at the three weird animals in front of me that make noises and move (thank you Jordan!)
Once I'm done playing with that, I like to look at myself in the mirror. I must be funny because I like to smile and make noises to myself. After that, I get a diaper change then I'm off to sleep before the whole process starts over again.
Just a few random pictures of me smiling. I now weigh 11 pounds.
