Skyler

  • Oh no, not again!

    Skyler has recently been less interested in her bottle again. It is a chore to get 20 ounces down her in a day, and I just read that babies her age should be getting 28 – 35 ounces per day! The last couple days, she may have gotten fifteen ounces each day. Meanwhile, she still…

  • Vacation – transplanted!

    Our friends left this morning for the Cabo San Lucas trip that we had booked last Fall after Skyler was born. It was specially planned for all us young parents to get away and be kids again at an all-inclusive luxury resort on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Of course, after Skyler’s emergency “vacation” at…

  • This is a long one…

    I’ve got lots to catch up on, so this is going to be a ridiculously long post! First, our anniversary celebration last weekend was wonderful! We started the afternoon off with one hour massages. I’d never had one that long before, and it was heavenly! Then we went tanning and had a late lunch at…

  • Gotta get caught up

    First, be sure you’ve read the previous post – it is a major milestone for us! I’ve been very behind on posting here. So, let me get caught up by saying that Skyler is talking LOTS these days (she says MAMAMAMAMAMA and DADADADADADA and BABABABABABA all the time,) so who knows if she knows what…

  • Healthy Heart!

    We just got back from the cardiologist and I want to cry happy tears! As soon as they put the wand on Skyler’s chest for the sonogram, the cardiologist nearly jumped out of her seat in excitement of how good her heart looked! She ran calculations twice just to make sure it was as good…

  • Writer’s block

    I haven’t posted much lately because I just haven’t been in the mood to write! I’ve been super busy, whether it’s keeping Skyler entertained (she gets bored so much faster these days), working out when she’s sleeping, catching up on laundry, or searching for a new daycare. Yes, we are on the search for a…

  • A beautiful Sunday afternoon

    Today we went to celebrate the baptism of Sisarea, our friend Deborah & Nick’s 7 month old daughter. They had quite the shindig setup at their house, with tons of people and tons of food and tons of kids. They actually had a whole pig on the food table! I took a few pics of…

  • 8 Months

    It’s hard to believe when I think about it, but Skyler is 8 months old now! And, she is two months post-surgery. Two months was the “surgical” recovery time the doctors estimated, even though her heart function still has a lot of recovery time left to go. But her incision and anything else that got…

  • The latest random photos…

    Here are some new cute photos of Skyler. She keeps getting more and more fun. She’s waving bye-bye now, which is absolutely adorable. She is in love with Bruno. Whenever she sees him in the room she yells/laughs and flaps her arms in excitement (sometime soon I hope to post a video of one of…

  • Mealtime Memories

    Teaching Skyler new things is always so much fun. She fascinated with almost everything, and she surprises me how much she does naturally. I guess eating is such a basic need, a lot of our skills are instinctual! Here are a few fun pics snapped at different mealtimes. Skyler makes it very clear when she’s…
