Uncle Cam

As Skylar has grown she is becoming very fond of her Uncle Cam...there was a time when she was not so sure of him but now she can't get enough. She absolutely LOVES him! These pics are from the other day, he was reading his magazine and she stood up next to him and rested her head on his shoulder to look at the magazine with him. It was so cute.
We love you Cam!

Skylar & Haley

We had the pleasure of Haley & Cameron spending the holiday at Caberfaye with us! It was so nice to relax and enjoy the family. Skylar really enjoys the special times with her Aunt Hales!!

What is Daddy doing...

Last weekend Chris was burning leaves at the cabin. It was so cute Skylar was standing at the slider pounding on the glass yelling at her Dada. She is turning into such a daddy's girl, she is always so curious as to what he is doing, and she always wants to be with him!

Dad's Diaper Blunder...

I just couldn't resist...thank goodness I caught it before we had a big mess...I think there is a reason Diaper Thongs have not become a new fashion for stylish babies:)

Sometimes...

...our miracles turn out differently than we think they will. Sometimes we don't understand why. Sometimes our miracles are angels.
Our little miracle is now an angel. We found out on Monday that our baby had stopped growing and had no detectable heartbeat ( so I had to undergo a D&C on Tuesday).
Life sometimes can be so unfair or at least that is how we perceive it at the time. I know that I will get past this through many prayers and tears. God is truly amazing and although at this time I do not understand the plan here I know there is one! God Bless our angel baby.
I am so truly thankful for my perfect baby girl, Skylar, she is such an amazing joy, having her in my life helps to ease the pain of losing another! I love you Skylar!!

My Baby Girl...

...is growing up so fast! She is such a sweetie! I love you Skylar Ashlyn:)

The Cousins..

The cousins (Kailyn 21 mos., Michael 4 1/2 yrs., MaKenna 3 mos., Skylar 10 mos.) Christmas picture!

My new tricks...

I am now getting to be quite a big girl! I can pull myself up on things and I am even starting to TRY to walk around them, but I tend to take some tumbles...Mom says I will get less wobbly with practice:)

Halloween...

Skylar was a butterfly for halloween. We didn't go treat or treating but we did go visit family and family friends. Since this was Skylar's first week not being at Miss Errin's for daycare we had to go visit the Wodarski's. Then we spent some time with Aunt Boo, The Bader's and G'ma & G'pa Frye!

This past weekend was so beautiful, we were up at the cabin and the fall colors are amazing right now. We did some color tours, which did I mention the colors were incredible! And we took some family pictures, we don't get us all in the picture very often, and let me tell you it is a slight challenge with a camera timer, tri-pod and 9 month old!

The loves of my life...

Isn't this cute? I just love watching the two of them together...I am sure someday it will be more trouble than cute as they scheme against me in a plot to get all the 'toys' Chris will convince Skylar that they need!

Wanna be like Dad...

When we are at the cabin Chris gets pretty into his video games...his newest toy is a steering wheel controller with foot pedals and everything. Skylar crawled over and climbed in, I am sure she will be into cars and driving just like her daddy!

Skylar and Chelsea

Our niece Chelsea is so great with Skylar. We got to spend some time with her 2 weekends ago and she was a big help with Skylar while I was doing her sisters senior pictures!

So tired, just can't fight it anymore!

She was having a little drama queen moment, getting very upset because she couldn't crawl and drink from her bottle at the same time. I went into our bedroom mfor a moment and she stopped screaming, I came back out to see what she was up to ... just sleeping!

WOW, 9 MO. OLD ALREADY!

I really can't believe she is alreay 9 months, the time has gone by so quickly!! Skylar is doing fantastic. We had her 9 moo check up on Thursday and she is surely a peanut, she is 16.5 lbs and 28 inches, which puts her in the 20% for weight and 70% for height. She is right on track with all of her major motor skills (crawling, sitting, interest in pulling up, etc.) and she is a little ahead on her fine motor and verbalization. It is really cute her new thing is to point at things, she is so precise and accurate when she does and gets so serious too! She gets more and more fun by the day, she really loves to get into anything that she shouldn't, so she is starting to hear the word NO but doesn't quite understand yet, she just laughs when you say it, so we will continue to work on that:) I will post more pictures soon, sorry I haven't been so good, but life is keeping me VERY BUSY!!!

Silly Girl...

the first pic is just to show you how she does a 'cheesy' smile & the other one is just proof of what a ham she is for the camera! She is so funny:)

Cool Chick!

wearing Aunt Haley's glasses, we are so glad she is back from CA!

Guess What.....

...we are expecting our second child next spring! I am 6 weeks along so I have forever to go!!! The baby's due date is May 23, 2008. We are very excited to be adding to our family, Skylar is such an amazing little girl and such an incredible joy to our lives it will be wonderful for her to have a sibling (that will hopefully be as good as her!).
We will keep you all posted on how the pregnancy is going and all of the exciting milestones!

Chris has his own room!

Well Chris finally has a room of his own! HE has several mounts (deer heads) that he is always wanting to hang...I of course do not want a bunch of dead animals adorning my walls, so our compromise...they go to the cabin, but I still didn't really want them in the living room, so one of the guest rooms is where the deer have found their home. I got pretty creative (on Chris' suggestion) and painted (free hand) a camouflage pattern on one of the walls, with the other walls green. I am pretty impressed with my artistic talents, so here is the proof for all of you!

Our Little Angel....

...well most of the time anyway!
