Skyler

  • Our Baby Bodybuilder

    Skyler had her 1 year visit to the doctor last week. Besides the fact that she was furious the entire time, it otherwise went good. She got the typical rundown: weight/length check, ear check, and shots. At our previous visit, (around 10 and 1/2 months), the doctor did not want us to rush in getting…

  • Mish Mosh

    I’ve got several random photos of Skyler to update. I realize how lucky I am to be in the digital age where I can take pictures over and over till I get something cute. For every one good picture, I’ve got about five bad ones of Skyler blinking or not doing that cute thing that…

  • Pinch me

    After weekends like this one, I think my life might be a good dream from which I should be waking up soon. There was nothing spectacular; it was one of those laid back weekends with lots of time spent at home with no major agenda, mixed with some good times catching up with friends and…

  • At least someone’s making progress…

    Skyler started crawling this morning! It’s official – she’s mobile!!!

  • Play Date

    On Sunday, Skyler and I went to meet two other mommies and their kiddos at my all-time favorite park, Antioch Park. I’m so glad that it hasn’t changed much in all the years since I’ve been there! We used to go there as children, and the things that were my favorite, like the “town” and…

  • Catching up – Part II: Skyler’s 1st Birthday

    Skyler’s big day was great! I can’t believe it has actually come and gone already. And, I can’t believe I haven’t done any of the things that I’d planned to do for her birthday, like create a slideshow of her first year for this blog, and write her a letter on that day. I guess…

  • Just one…

    I’m still waiting for photos from my mom before I post the birthday story, but here’s a quick one to share. Overall, it was a fun time, and Skyler got lots of great toys. I can’t wait for her to wake up from her much needed nap so she can start playing with them!

  • The Big One

    Today was Skyler’s first birthday! It’s a kind of bittersweet to be so excited about today, when it’s also a day of mourning and remembrance for the events of 9-11-01. But according to the Bible, there is a time for everything. I love these verses because they help me focus on living a balanced life…

  • Party at my Crib

    One of Skyler’s and my new favorite games is to play peek-a-boo in her crib. She’ll be sitting up in there after waking from a nap and I’ll come in to get her. I duck down so my face is below the bumper and she can’t see me, but then she’ll grab the bumper and…
