My 8 month old!!!

I hope that everyone is well and that you all had a very good Valentines Day. Skylar received a HUGE gorilla from her daddy which he named "nanners." We have been pretty busy lately and time seems to be just flying by...I know that I say that in every post but truly, it does just zip by.
Anyway, over the past couple of weeks we have managed to sell our living room and dining room furniture, convert our dining room into a playroom for Skylar, paint our living room and entry way, make some changes to Skylar's room and Matthew had his wisdom teeth removed last week! I have pics that will be used for blackmail purposes! Ha! Ha! He did really well and finally he has some relief from those painful boogers!!

Okay so on to the princess...We will do the "blah" first and then the "hoorah's"....

So, Skylar is back on her amoxil because once again, she has another UTI! Boo! She has her ultrasound today just to make sure that her kidney isn't severely dilated. The plan is to keep her on her medicine until after her first birthday at which time we will look into surgery...if it is necessary....which it WON'T BE! Because of her infection she wasn't really eating all that well which caused her to fall below her weight requirements. But never fear...the infection is gone....and she's "fluffy-ing" out once again!

Now, are u ready for it???!!! Her TAAAAADAAAAA'S!!!
-She's crawling!!! (she started bear-crawling a couple of weeks ago and then moved to hands and knees last Saturday)
-She's pulling up!! (she's been able to kind of pull herself onto her knees but just this morning, Matthew and I found her standing up in her crib, waiting for us to get her)
-She's doing a "cheeeez" type of grin!!! (her Nana...my mom...started this grinning game with her and now she'll wrinkle her nose and smile real big)

-She's singing!! (when we're driving to go somewhere, if the radio's on, u can hear her in the back singing along)
-She's a pro and eating her puffs!!!
-She can hold a sippy cup and her bottle (although sometimes she still wants momma to hold it if she's fussy!)

-She will look around for her gee (pacifier) while she's in her crib and put it in her mouth all by herself!

Phew! I told you it has been a busy month! She weighs 17lbs and 2oz which is right where she's supposed to be. Still not sure on height but we find out next month.

Stay tuned for her crawling video!!
xoxo
