Skyler

  • RSV, round two

    Last night we took our second trip to Urgent Care this week. The first was on Monday when Sky’s fever spiked way up. She was diagnosed with an ear infection and given antibiotics, which the doctors also said might help with her cough. She seemed to improve the following day, and by Wednesday, was fever-less…

  • Snot and Boogers

    We’re swimming in them right now, well Skyler is, anyway, and leaving the trails of slime and crusties on the couch cushions, her Pink Bear, and our clothing. She’s a pitiful case of constantly runny nose, goopy eyeballs, and an icky cough that brings her to tears each time because it hurts her throat! She’s…

  • Random updates

    – Skyler is repeating so many words lately! If she knows what something is and I point to it and say it, she tries to say the word also. It’s so cute because her versions are vary toddlerific – diaper is “biper,” up is “Puh,” Bruno is “Bobo,” pasta is “papa,” and so on. It’s…

  • Sharing, Part II

    A few months ago I posted a video of Skyler and Bruno sharing his bone. In December, I caught them at it again, only this time she was sharing her snack puffs with him.

  • Baby

    Tonight Skyler and I were “reading” her book that has a bunch of photos of real babies in it. By reading I mean that she rapidly turns the pages and every now and then points something out of interest to her for that split second before turning the page again. I repeated the word “baby”…

  • Weighing In

    Skyler had a check-up this morning, complete with another part of her flu shot, which is always fun! It was fairly uneventful (though you would think from her wailing that they were torturing her with 1,000 needles), but she got weighed and measured and she has gone through quite the growth spurt! She was 21…

  • Signs

    Our little Sky just seems to double her intelligence by the day, I swear. A couple weeks ago she communicated by pointing or whining. Now, she’s consistently using her sign language that her daycare teaches. I finally had to have my own sign language review session with her daycare teacher just so I would know…

  • Time Out

    Skyler has been testing her limits. She will do something over and over again each time I tell her no, and sometimes she’ll do it just halfway, look at me and smile slyly, waiting for me to scold her. It’s so adorable but I have to be strong and stern at the same time so…

  • My Goofball

    IMG_0548 Originally uploaded by lorikelley66 Skyler is turning into quite the little performer. Whether it’s playing with her food to get a laugh, balancing blocks on her head, or putting her bowl of pasta on her head to make the kids at daycare laugh, this girl likes to make an audience laugh! I’m way behind…

  • Something

    I realized I hadn’t posted since my bout with self pity, so I figured I should get something up here so people don’t think that I drove myself off a cliff or something. So, to update my status since last time I posted, Ronnie has been working with a few of his clients to try…
