Sometimes Moms exaggerate...

...This is what Andrew said a few days ago when I told him his daughter sat up by herself. But, a picture is worth a thousand words, which means I dont have to say anything else. :)

Another First

Today Skylar went swimming for the first time. Besides missing a nap, she had a blast. She is a natural in the water! She kicked her feet, splashed around, and even went under water and didn't get water up her nose or cry- I think she might have even liked it. For a 4 1/2 month old, we think that's pretty great, but then again, that is our job to think she is great at everything, right? So, what's on the agenda for next week- hum- piano, boxing, soccer...

Dedication

Dedications are always called "baby dedications", but really its the parents getting dedicated. I mean, we are the ones that have to stand in front of the church and promise we will do all we are supposed to do to raise our child according to Gods ways and teach her about Jesus. Thats a big day! So, I guess we all got dedicated Sunday at church. It was very nice. Our childrens pastor came out and did Skylars dedication. He cries every time he even talks about children, so of course holding our baby did the job. We took lots of pictures and video taped the whole thing.

And Skylar didnt hurl, poop, or cry during the process. Wow! Yay Skylar


Skylar and her proud Daddy.



Skylar and her proud Uncle Moo Moo.

I'm Sick

Skylar got sick yesterday for the first time in her life. She woke up with a runny nose, a cough, a little fever, and a bright smile (just like always). She had a doctors appt anyway, so it worked out. Fortunately she got out of getting her shots because of the cold. She doesnt know how lucky she is.

Her fever has been pretty high, but she doesnt act like she feels bad.


Thats our baby!

we did find out she is now 26 inches high, and weighs 14lbs. 11oz. her height is in the 95% and her weight is 70%...now how is it that we got a child that is long and lean? Well, enjoy it while it lasts Skylar, it probably wont be long before you are short and stout like the rest of your family. Although, I suppose she could have gotten the recessive gene from her two tall lean uncles and her Pop Pop...we'll see.

Singing Bears?

Skylar got a new toy today...singing bears. I am not quite sure what she thought about two bears singing to her. I dont think she knows what she thought either from the look on her face.


But by the end, she got pretty cozy with the bears, and made a new friend by biting their heads off. I dont think she is ready for any friends that arent stuffed yet.
