Skyler

  • Self Pity (sorry this is a long one)

    Why is it that even when things are going so well, I still can’t help but get stuck in a rut about stuff? Both Ronnie’s and my jobs are going well and appear fairly secure, which is so much to be thankful for as the rest of the economy falls apart. We own a home…

  • Learning to Share

    (Please disregard that Skyler is dressed like a boy. She made a mess of her clothes at daycare that day and I didn’t have a back-up outfit for her, so she came home in her buddy’s back-up outfit, who is a 1-year-old boy)

  • The Last Couple Weeks in Photo

    First, Skyler loves to play “dress-up.” She will find multiple articles of clothing and drape them over her head and around her waist. Playing teddy bear keep-away with Daddy She stacked up all seven of these blocks by herself. She knocked it over with her leg while reaching for the 8th block. She absolutely loves…

  • Yes She Can! Change I Can Believe In

    I have no idea if our next President will be able to bring about the “change” he speaks of, but what I do know is that Skyler is changing fast, and she can do new things almost every day now! Where to start? It’s been so long since I’ve updated specifically on her developments, I…

  • Behind

    I’ve got lots to write and pictures to add, but I just haven’t been in the mood to sit and compose! As the days get shorter, so is my energy level at night. It makes me want to go to bed so early! Hopefully sometime this week I’ll feel like getting caught up on here.…

  • Curse of Motherhood

    Our plane leaves approximately 7 1/2 hours. The bags are almost packed except for the few things we’ll need in the morning. I should be going to bed, since I have to wake up in 5 1/2 hours. And I shouldn’t even be thinking about bed since I should be so excited for vacation to…

  • Future dance lessons?

    Every time a music beat comes on, Skyler starts dancing. Whether it’s music from her toy or a commercial, she starts a side to side or waving her hands in the air, sometimes clapping. Tonight I put on one of my own favorite dance beats, and Skyler picked up on the rhythm right away!

  • Sorting and kissing

    Skyler is up to lots of business these days. No matter what she’s doing, she’s always very busy! She loves anything that has to do with her hands, especially sorting her baby food items in the cabinet. Lately, her favorite source of entertainment is to crawl over to the lazy susan in the kitchen, where…

  • Skyler’s 1-year photos

    Rebecca posted Skyler’s slideshow from her photo session last week. Of course she did a wonderful job and I’m looking forward to seeing all the other ones as well!

  • Is…

    Election coverage is getting old. The weather is definitely Fall. My two-year performance review is coming up. Our vacation is 2 weeks away. Our hotel is brand new, beautiful, and now officially open. Ronnie is getting a Harley this weekend. Skyler is EVERYWHERE. She is getting her molars. There is drool EVERYWHERE. This Saturday is…
