  • Learning to Share

    (Please disregard that Skyler is dressed like a boy. She made a mess of her clothes at daycare that day and I didn’t have a back-up outfit for her, so she came home in her buddy’s back-up outfit, who is a 1-year-old boy)

  • The Last Couple Weeks in Photo

    First, Skyler loves to play “dress-up.” She will find multiple articles of clothing and drape them over her head and around her waist. Playing teddy bear keep-away with Daddy She stacked up all seven of these blocks by herself. She knocked it over with her leg while reaching for the 8th block. She absolutely loves…

  • Yes She Can! Change I Can Believe In

    I have no idea if our next President will be able to bring about the “change” he speaks of, but what I do know is that Skyler is changing fast, and she can do new things almost every day now! Where to start? It’s been so long since I’ve updated specifically on her developments, I…

  • Future dance lessons?

    Every time a music beat comes on, Skyler starts dancing. Whether it’s music from her toy or a commercial, she starts a side to side or waving her hands in the air, sometimes clapping. Tonight I put on one of my own favorite dance beats, and Skyler picked up on the rhythm right away!

She loves anything that has to do with her hands, especially sorting her baby food items in the cabinet. Lately, her favorite source of entertainment is to crawl over to the lazy susan in the kitchen, where…

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…

  • At least someone’s making progress…

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

    Skyler meets her new best friend.

  • 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…
