Christmas at the Welborns

We had some trouble trying to get Skylar to look at the camera. It had been a busy couple of days and she was getting a little tired. Oh well, that's a 9 month old for you, we'll take what we can get.

Grandma trying to get Skylar to put a puff in her mouth by herself.

The first time Skylar acted scared and wouldn't go to someone was with Grandpa Welborn on Christmas. This was one of the rare occasions she sat peacefully with him, otherwise she was scared and wouldn't go to him. That was a first for us.

Playdate with the Cousins

Aunt Kristyn and Addy and Jax came to play with Skylar along with Uncle Dave and Grandma and Grandpa Mac. Jax wasn't in the mood for the hugs and kisses and posing for the camera, but Addy isn't quite so camera shy and loves her baby cousin. Hopefully we'll get Jax to pose with the girls in the future.

Eating Solids at Last!

Skylar finally has started eating some people food aka banana puffs. She's also tried some turkey and ham and did fine. Now we're working on getting her to feed herself, but it's not going so well. Baby steps I guess.

Skylar's First Thanksgiving

Don't worry Skylar, we all look at Uncle Dave that way!

Skylar got her first glimpse of Christmas gifts as we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with the McKendrick clan.

Enjoying a Mild November

Skylar enjoyed playing outside on our last mild day as Dan and I put up the Christmas lights. It has been such a nice November as in the past we've usually had a major snow storm around Thanksgiving. We didn't even have to wear coats as we hung the lights!

If you look closely, you can see her first two teeth coming in on the bottom.

Unhappy Girl

So, I was trying to work on a scrap book I started when I found out I was pregnant and I've been keeping pics and ultrasound pics and cutting out big event items that have happened while I was pregnant and throughout the 1st year of Skylar's life. I thought it would be neat for her to look back on. As you can see, she was not too happy she wasn't getting any attention, so I gave her a magazine to play with and well... you can see the results.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy turned 29 on Nov. 12 and Skylar and I brought lunch to him at school with brownies and a balloon for his birthday.
