I Can Sit... Well, Sort Of

This past week I have learned some new tricks... I am starting to sit a little bit on my own... I kinda still fall forward a lot but I really am getting better each day...

I have also started pushing myself forward when I am on my tummy... I pull my legs up under me and thrust my self forward... I can get half way across the room but then I get tired and super mad and start screaming... what can I say, when I'm done, I'm done!!!

I just absolutley love Siah... I get bashful around him... When he talks to me my whole face lights up. He can make me smile more than anyone else!!

What a face... :)
Until next time...

It Was My First Time Eating Food Today...

I have been waking up at night for the past five nights so today Mommy gave me some rice cereal for the first time. I ate it like i was an old pro! i didn't even really spit it out like Siah and Hal did when they first had cereal.

Ok, so I got a little bit on my lips... but for the most part I slurped it all down...


What is that stuff??? Whatever it is, it's mighty tasty! :)

Just wanted to show you some pictures of my new trick :)

Can You Believe She's Four Months Old!!!!!!!

I am so stoked and yet so stunned that Skyler is already FOUR MONTHS old!!!! We're that much closer to the one year mark which has become my success date... I have in my head that if we make it to the one year mark we can do ANYTHING! The past few weeks have been up and down; good and bad; fun and crazy!

The past few weeks we have been calling Skyler "Reesie". Reesie has had a cold off and on. Just when she gets rid of one, she has a break for a day or two then catches another one. She's still been sleeping pretty good at night but she has been waking up at 5 every morning and talking at the TOP of her lungs. (I feel kinda bad for our neighbors). Who wants to wake up at 5am?? Not the Mommy!!! But I have been getting up and feeding her, then putting her back to bed and going for a morning walk. Whenever I get back she's asleep so that's nice. It's been nice having time in the morning to get some exercise and have some quiet time before all the kids wake up. :)


She's been super crazy every time we feed her... She drinks about an ounce then freaks out for about 20 seconds then drinks another ounce... But she's eating plenty and doesn't seem upset after she's, done so there you go. I'm pretty sure her nose is just plugged and that makes it hard to eat. We've been cleaning out the poor girl's nose like crazy. She doesn't like it very much, and rightfully so, I'm sure that it doesn't feel that good.

But as you can see, she is still full of smiles... She looks a lot like my mom to me... Which blesses me throughout the day to have those little glimpses of my mom.

Although she loves to smile she still has her many serious moments. She's so funny... you can make her belly laugh then right away she'll go back to her serious face.... which makes it even more funny.

Anyways, here we are at four months... pluggin through and feelin blessed!
