Candids

Skylar trying on daddy's new hat he got for his birthday.

Skylar eating an oreo, which she loves. We definitely have a chocolate lover!


Just being smiley and goofy.

For some reason this is how she wanted to sit to watch Dora before bed. As you can see, Dan's not that into Dora.

Early Christmas Gift

So, today was a blizzard outside, so it became a lazy day at home. We decided to let Skylar open up an early Christmas gift that she received from Uncle Glen and Aunt Martha at Thanksgiving time, but we didn't get a chance to see them for her to open up her gift so we let her open it up today. Thankfully, one less thing to put together Christmas morning, but as you can see, she absolutley loved it. Thank you Uncle Glen and Aunt Martha!!!







First Snow of the Year!

Skylar getting her snowsuit on. Let me tell you, not an easy task! All of you mom's with multiple kids that have to do this every year....much, much more respect for ya!

So, last Winter Skylar was only 8-11 mo. old and not really mobile at all, so we never really took her out to play in the snow. So at 21 mo. this was her first real experience to play in it. She didn't know what to think at first, but once daddy showed her how to make snow balls, she started enjoying it much more.

Houston, WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!

Proud to announce that Kristin and I are the proud parents of a WALKING child. After 20 long months and some hard work by Skylar with her physical therapist --> Skylar just decided to start walking tonight. The first video is her first decent length journey, and the second video is about 2 hours later when she decided to do laps around our downstairs. Enjoy.

First Trick or Treat!

So Skylar loves puppies and she actually picked this puppy costume out herself. We gave her 3 choices, a pink bunny, a cow or a puppy and she was dead set on being a puppy. We think she makes about the cutest puppy ever, how can you not agree! She actually enjoyed it, but she wouldn't walk up to the houses, we had to carry her and she would say Trick or Treat as we walked up or were walking away, she got too nervous to say it at the nice people at the door. Oh well, pretty good for the first time, we can't complain and she thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate goodness that came afterwards.

Enjoying her first candy bars, a reeces peanut butter cup and snickers. Based on her hyperactivity afterwards, she was done after those two!






Uncle Dave joined us for the fun occasion...or just to get hooked up with some candy to take back to school. Either way, Skylar loves it when Uncle David comes to play with her.

You should have seen the tail move back and forth when she walked, sooo cute.








Fall Fun

Skylar's first haircut. Aunt Amy offered to give her her first trim, looks much better!



Enjoying some of the last beautiful days of Fall that we've had. We can't complain about not having a Fall this year.





Thought this was so cute, Skylar with cousins Bennett and Eve watching baby Lucy ride the pony.


Skylar with big cousin Bennett.
The coldest day so far this Fall, and of course the day we picked to go to the Apple Holler.







Skylar was a little confused at first having both sets of grandparents along, but she eventually
accepted it and had fun. This picture is classic

Skylar at 1 1/2 Years Old!

Sorry for such a long gap in updates. Between switching computers with work, trying to save all of our files onto a flashdrive and starting a facebook page, I just haven't had time to update the blog. So sorry for all of you facebook fans for the duplicate pics, hopefully soon we can download some new ones from our camera. Here's some recent pics of Skylar at 18 mo.

Skylar loves trying on our shoes. She takes after both mommy and daddy with the shoe fetish. This could become a problem in her teenage years!
After a long day at the Erbeck household aka mini petting-zoo.

Not such a fan of riding horses yet.

We tried giving Skylar her first horse ride with Cousin Mike, but it didn't go so well.


Daddy was teaching Skylar how to flex her muscles. I'm praying for a boy next so mommy can keep her sweet little girl and daddy can do "boy" things with his boy!

After celebrating Grandma Mac's and Uncle David's birthdays.

Skylar with the Birthday clan.

Skylar loves her fun Uncle David. So glad to have him close to home this year!


Skylar is reaching for the remotes and saying "no mote" at the same time as she knows she's not allowed to play with the remotes. Devious just like daddy!


Skylar coloring with her first Hello Kitty coloring book, something she enjoys immensely and asks to do daily.

Ahh yes, feel the power!
