EI Family Fun Day

Skylar's Early Intervention program hosted a family fun day this weekend and it was so fun! Tyler went to the beach for a long weekend with his friends for their annual guy's weekend in Hilton Head, so he couldn't make it. It was going to be really hard for me to go and actually try and help Sky participate with Savannah in the stroller, so our wonderful babysitter Fegan said she would go with us. Skylar loves Fegan and gets so excited to see her. It was a beautiful day! Skylar went in her first bouncy house...and loved it! They were nice enough to clear some of the big kids out so some little ones could take a turn and she thought it was so fun. Besides the bouncy house, she kind of had this confused/amazed/intrigued look on her face about everything else. I think she had fun but was just like...where the heck are we with all this crazy stuff around?

Petting zoo area. This is one of those what the heck faces...why am I sitting in front of a bunch of animals? I love the goat behind her sticking his face under the gate.

Skylar was amazed by the giant fire truck! Her mini fire truck is still one of her favorite toys.

In the fun bus. I thought she would love crawling down this tunnel, but she wouldn't go for it.

Can you see the huge grin on her face!?

Big Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend and visit from family to celebrate Mother's Day, Ryan's birthday, and the girls dedication at church. Ryan and Jenny are awesome and still came over after being stranded in Tampa earlier in the week. Of course it was great to see Ben again and to see all the kids playing together. I bet he might be walking the next time we see him!

Bumping heads...Ben is sad, but Savannah just rolls with it cause she is used to Skylar knocking in to her:)

Pajama time

Going for a walk at the park with our new jogger...which we love!

The fam after church. Skylar had already kicked off her shoes by this point and was over it. You can't tell too much in this picture, but Skylar scraped her face really bad before church. No idea how she did it, but she had a huge red scrape on the side of her face. It was so bad one of the nursery ladies got a first aid kit for us so we could fix it up a little. Another little mishap during church was Savannah spitting up bananas all over her dress during the middle of the prayer. Lovely:) Besides that, the service was very sweet and special on Mother's Day. I wish we could have gotten some pictures before church, but it was wild enough just trying to get everyone ready and there by 9:00.

Sweet little fancy feet. (I don't know why this is sideways)

SO tired after a long morning. We had to get a picture of this cause she never sleeps in our arms anymore- she is too busy checking everything out. She only sleeps in her crib or in her car seat if we are missing nap time.

So over it!

Birthday Girl

Skylar is two years old! She weighs 22 lbs 7 oz and is 34 inches tall. She is a very happy little girl and smiles a lot. Her favorite toys are books, trucks, babies, and Daddy's electronics. She loves music and being outside swinging in her swing. She tries to repeat a lot of what we say and she has a really sweet little talking voice.
She had a super busy and fun birthday week. We celebrated for a few days so Gigi could be include when she got in to town. On Skylar's birthday we took her to the zoo for the first time. The Richmond Zoo doesn't have anything too exciting, but we all had a good time anyway. She loved seeing the tiger and riding the carousel.

We picked the hottest day of the year so far to go...they were a little sunscreen sweaty mess by the end of the day.

Tiger!

Skylar loves to put her feet up on everything! If anything is within reaching distance- she has her feet on it at all times.

Finally able to wear a little sprig of a pony tail:)

Lots of fun new toys and pretty clothes!

Squishy cupcake! As you can see from the next picture...she would much rather be playing with it than eating it!

We love you! Happy Birthday Skylar!

Maine Visit

I got to go last weekend with Ryan, Jenny, and Ben on a quick trip to Maine to see family. It was a beautiful weekend and wonderful to be back. I always went every summer growing up and haven't gotten to go in a few years being busy with grad school and babies. We didn't think they were ready for the trip just yet this time.
Tyler kept both of the girls for the weekend and did great. Ryan and Jenny got stuck in Tampa for two days on the way home because of all the flooding in Nashville and with the airport closed. Ben is a trooper though and is already an excellent traveler.
