Babies Do the Strangest Things...

Skylar loves to play on the floor with her toys. She loves the freedom of turning 360's and smacking her feet on the ground. She has begun putting her feet flat on the ground and lifting her butt off the ground as if she is about to do the crab walk. She's got strong little legs. Well, she was playing the other day as usual and this is what we found. Our special little child.

Daddy's Baller

I don't think Skylar will ever have a chance to be the next Miss America. She is quickly becoming daddy's little girl. As you can see below, she already reaches and loves to play with the remote. And she is going to be daddy's #1 fan at the b-ball games this year. Thanks to Grandpa Welborn, she got her first official basketball. It's a little to big to grip, but she is excellent at scratching it.

Ahh, the Good Stuff!

So, Skylar has officially started actual foods, well sort of, if mashed baby food counts as actual food. She eats her rice cereal daily along with a variety of veggies. So far she has tasted sweet potatoes, carrots and squash. She loves her sweet potatoes, tolerates the carrots and refuses the squash, so we've given up on that for the time being. After her Dr. appointment next week, on to fruits!

Male Bonding

My dad, my brother and I spent this last weekend in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was a great time of hanging out together and getting out into nature for a couple of days. No pictures of Skylar in this post as I am shamelessly promoting my own selfious endeavor. We spent most of our time traveling around to different hiking paths and waterfalls. Here are a few pics.

The 2 photos above are of Whitefish Falls, not the greatest waterfall in Michigan but the pot-holed dirt road to get to the hiking trail was quite an adventure in our rental car. The 2nd photo is of my father taking his time setting up the perfect shot, you can see Dave was pumped for the shot.
The 3 of us at Munising Falls.
The above 3 photos were of Miner's Falls. The path to get to the falls was really pretty as it wound along the top of the river valley. The photo of my dad and I is after we had jumped over the viewing platform railing and climbed down a steep slope to get closer to the falls.

Tahquahnemon (pronounced like phenomenon in case you were wondering) Falls, the larget in the UP.

Future Musician?

I think she has talent, you be the judge.

Sleeping Beauty

Isn't she cute! Skylar likes to sleep on her left side in the crib, and always seems to sleep with her hands together like she's praying. My dad was excited to hear this because he tends to sleep with his hands like this as well. Just thought the internet viewers would enjoy the pic. More to come.

Growing Up

Look at how much older she looks. We can't believe how much she is acting like a little person now and not a helpless baby. She likes to sit by herself in the chair (of course with the Sox blanket) and everyday does something new we've never seen before.

My Little Sox Fan

No pressure around here to be a sox fan! Thanks to Uncle David for the great outfit. Kristin and I noticed a more genuine smile once we got this outfit on Skylar.

The Wiggle

Check out the new dance move Skylar has discovered. Kristin and I like to call it "The Wiggle." As always, forgive that guy in the background who makes too much noise in the video. We should find a way to put a stop to his noises!
