Gigi visits and water babies

My mom got to come in town over the weekend with Mary, who is a long time friend from Memphis that now lives in Maryland. They babysat one night and Ty and I got to go see Angels and Demons-which we thought was a great movie. Tyler was in Minneapolis all last week so it was nice to have some help entertaining Skylar over the weekend.

We have been taking Skylar to water babies at the YMCA for about a month and she loves it. She doesn't really like to go under, but she likes to kick and splash and pretend jump in from the side of the pool.

Skylar's early Birthday

Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ryan were sweet enough to host a little early birthday party for Skylar while we were in Nashville over the weekend. She made her a yummy chocolate cake to play in and Skylar had a great time making a mess. 

We had to improvise since the high chair tray we had wasn't big enough for cake. Tyler grabbed her up and sat her right on the table in front of the cake. Whatever works:) 

Just getting acquainted with my very own cake

She was looking at her hand like it was a puppet

Time to get cleaned up 

The final damage. We made a huge mess and there was cake all over the table and rug. I am sure Sadie (their dog) loved helping clean up. 

Opening some presents

It was such a fun and special night! I can't believe she is one year old this week! 

Fun in Nashville

We went to Nashville over the weekend to see family and go to a baby shower for Ryan and Jenny. We had a jammed packed weekend trying to see everyone and do everything, but it was so fun and so worth the trip.

Aunt Jenny always entertains me

I wish I could have gotten this on video...it was so funny. Noir was sitting on the air mattress and when we laid Skylar down she started bucking and rolling around and Noir's eyes got so big and she kept following Skylar's every move. She was like- what is this crazy jumping noisy thing on my bed. 

Out to eat mexican with Mer and Amanda. We had lots of fun catching up and eating the best cheese dip I have ever tasted.  

Sky had basically been up since 5:30 am, but she hung in there and made it through dinner. 

Getting ready for bed with Gigi and Grandude
