Skyler

  • What a difference a year makes!

    Breakfast at Bob Evan’s, ’07 and ’08 Then… Now… The sad thing is, I think I weigh about the same now as I did at 20 weeks pregnant! But, I’m working on it!

  • Meeting milestones?

    Lately I’ve been kind of down about Skyler’s development. I know she has an acceptable excuse, but it’s still kind of frustrating when I see other babies younger than her that can do so much more physically than her. I’ve seen a few lately, and they seem so much older than Skyler in the way…

  • Keeping busy!

    I haven’t been able to write as much lately. I’m hoping the pictures and videos do enough talking for me, because it takes long enough just to get them downloaded and linked properly, let alone write something! But a little more detail into our lives… Last week Skyler had a sudden onset of diaper rash,…

  • Multimedia frenzy

    I’ve got all kinds of footage from the last several days and finally got it all uploaded. So, here goes, videos first! Skyler is babbling along and chokes herself (it’s not bad, it’s actually funny) Ferocious pit bull attacks! In other words, Bruno loves Skyler (and she doesn’t seem to mind). And the photos –…

  • Cardiology Follow-up

    Skyler had her first follow-up appointment this afternoon. It went good overall. She’s gained 10 oz or so since we left the hospital (two weeks ago), so that’s great that she’s gaining weight again, even while being on Lasix which sucks the fluid right out of her. Dr. Schroeder did a sonogram and thought things…

  • Playtime photos

    We had lots of fun with the camera tonight, and a few from the last few nights as well. Ronnie actually got some great “sneaky” videos of Skyler while she was busy talking, but Youtube is undergoing maintenance right now so I can’t upload them. Hopefully later this week. She is so funny – when…

  • Springtime changes

    Today wasn’t even very warm, but April is Spring to me. At least it was sunny! I love Spring – it inspires me in so many ways. Right now, it’s inspiring me to be healthy! As if my few clothing items that barely fit isn’t enough inspiration, the sunshine that whispers to me that tank…

  • I hate infant carseats!

    Why can’t I be raising my baby in the day where infant carseats consisted of a little box that sat in the back seat so the baby didn’t roll everywhere? As safe and secure as these things are supposed to be these days, they make it nearly impossible to do any sort of maintenance. First,…

  • Success with baths and medicine!

    Skyler amazed me not once, but twice last night with some newfound maturities! She has become a little overzealous in her eating. So, after puking her entire dinner up (6 ounces of formula and WAY TOO MUCH cereal), a bath was necessary. I hate giving her baths because she hates me for it. But last…

  • Why I don’t mind diaper changes

    I know, I know, she’s doing basically the same thing in the previous video post, but we’ve got new scenery this time. But seriously, this is what she does. She thinks her changing table is the party spot.
