Skyler

  • She’s growing up!

    So much about this set of pictures says that Skyler is barely a baby anymore! I know, I know, she’s still not walking, but she’s got so many more skills and so much more attitude now, she’s fast becoming her own unique little self! Here she is in her cute new “big girl” pajamas. It’s…

  • First Dance

    Skyler is all about dancing lately! She sits and sways her shoulders and hips back and forth when she hears music. Whether it’s a toy or a commercial on TV, she hears a beat and starts groovin’!

  • Invitation

    Skyler’s first birthday is fast approaching. We aren’t doing the big hooplah which a lot of people do for their kids’ first birthdays these days. I’m just not up to it, and frankly, I probably won’t ever make much of a big deal until she can remember it, in which case I might be inclined…

  • Blast from the past

    I’ve been meaning to go back and look at my old babysite from time to time, on the same date last year, and see what my thoughts were, since I was still pregnant. I finally did that tonight, and I’m so glad I did! It was actually a pretty significant “turning point” in my pregnancy.…

  • More Giggles

    Had to post this video from dinner tonight. After Skyler was finished (she ate toast, cheese, and scrambled eggs, ALL BY HERSELF! Then I fed her yogurt for dessert and as a “reward”), Bruno was begging, so I started feeding him her leftovers, and she thought it was hilarious.

  • Rock n’ Roll

    Skyler has begun all kinds of new things this past week! Anytime there is music playing, whether on TV, coming from one of her toys, or even if Ronnie or I just clap our hands in a rhythm, Skyler starts to dance. Since she’s not walking yet, it’s just when she’s sitting or kneeling, and…

  • If you don’t use it, you lose it!

    This holds true for many skills, but for me, especially my graphic design skills! Back when I first started this blog, I had the [now lofty] intentions of designing my own fancy header, including photos of Skyler and maybe Ronnie and me. I actually found the time to sit down and work on it on…

  • I sense…

    …the relatively calm chapter of life with an immobile baby is fast coming to a close. …using the diaper-changing table is most likely becoming more hazardous to both Skyler and myself. Whether she is flipping to her belly in mid-change, or grabbing a pooh-filled Pamper and shaking it like her favorite rattle, we’re soon going…

  • The Most Wonderful Sound in the World

    Ayayayayay the sound of my own baby laughing just makes my chest want to burst! And the best are the times when it’s so unexpected, like I’m not even trying to be funny, but whatever it is catches her at just the right time. Like tonight, she was playing with her stuffed animals and wrestling…

  • Greenbeans and sleepyhead

    A couple cute pics – Like many babies, Skyler rubs her ears (and scratches her head) when she’s sleepy. I caught a sweet sleepy moment of ear rubbing (some other sleepy moments of ear rubbing are somewhat grouchy) When Skyler is bored with eating or otherwise finished, she likes to take the last big bite…
