Sweet Girl

Last night when I was walking Skylar upstairs she put her arms out real wide and laid her head down like she was giving me a big hug. It was so sweet to have some before bedtime snuggles.
It looks like I need bedtime too:)
I love going in to wake Skylar up from her nap. She is the cutest sleeper and when I take her blanket off she does this big stretch where she curls up and puts her tiny butt up in the air, stretches her hands up by her face, and then pushes her legs back out. Skylar "sat up" for the first time on the couch today. She could hold herself up for about 30 seconds at a time and then start leaning over. I know she is still a petite thing but we think she is getting so big! Look at her belly in this picture- it's almost like she can't sit up cause her little round belly is in the way.

Good friends, good food, and good times

This past weekend Dianne, Amanda, Meredith, Lauren, and Kristy all came to visit. It was sooo much fun and we laughed all weekend (thanks in part to funny stories, games, and lots of yummy drinks). Everyone got to meet Skylar and after seeing her their consensus was that she looks like Tyler. The trip couldn't have come at a better time for me and it was awesome to have some much needed girl time.

I wish we lived closer and could do it more often!Out to eat Italian for Dianne's BirthdaySkylar's new girlfriendsSome pajama Guitar Hero...Fun in the Mom mobile

Hangin Out

(I wrote this post last week and then our internet went out right before I was going to post it. So, the news is old, but pics are still new...)

Tyler is in Minneapolis this week so Skylar and I have been getting lots of quality hang out time. She has kept me pretty busy but has been such a good girl. She has been wearing lots of different outfits this week cause she finally fits perfectly into her 3 mo. clothes and can even wear some of her 3-6 mo. clothes.

This cute outfit is from Meredith- thanks Mer!

More Meredith outfits...

This is Skylar's 'I wish Daddy was here to entertain me face'

Any resemblance?

Here are some baby pictures of Tyler and I. She looks more like us now than when she was born, but she still doesn't look exactly like either one of us. We think it's a good mix of both. See what you think....

I only have this picture of Tyler to compare to.

This is a terrible picture of Skylar, but it is funny because we were both wearing the same dress and the bow on the front popped up exactly the same. This was the dress that I wore home from the hospital that Skylar also wore home. I thought I would take one last round of pictures with her in it before she outgrew it. I did get some good shots where she is not making this bored face.

National Night Out

Target was one of the sponsors at National Night Out last night and Tyler was volunteering so Skylar and I decided to visit. There were a couple hundred people there and it was the biggest crowd she had ever been around. She did great! She was looking all around for about 15 minutes and then she went into shut down mode and went to sleep and Tyler just carried her around and showed her off.
