My 10 Month Old!!

This last month has really gone by so fast. My goal is to try and drag out each day as much as I can for the next two months because then she'll be ONE! Sigh. The above pic is her in her new swing...which she loves...if you couldn't tell.

As you already know, Matthew and I have been making little home improvements here and there and finally our house is feeling more like a home. Well, being that we are kind of getting a little stir crazy and the weather has been so nice...well except for the past couple of rainy days, we started working on our backyard now! First, my dad came over and planted Skylar an oak tree...which is so cute, then that just got me all excited and we ended up planting and pear tree, a palm tree, a hibiscus, some jasmine and some iris' and I still want to plant more! So now are backyard is really looking cute. We have a few more things that we'd like to add but that will come later. We're currently working on a name for Skylar's tree! Any suggestions??

So Easter went great!! We went to Waco on Good Friday and Saturday to spend with Matthew's family and then we came back to go to church on Easter Sunday and have breakfast with my family. It was a very busy weekend. Skylar really enjoyed Waco though and loved seeing all the kiddos. It was such a blast. Oh and Easter Sunday was the first time I checked her into the nursery and church...I cried of course, but she did so good!

So anywho Skylar's doing great and growing fast. She's now 18lbs and 14oz! 11 pounds heavier than the day she was born! She's still a skinny-mini but healthy! We found out also that she can have cake on her first birthday despite her milk-allergy. I'm so excited! The doc says we're transitioning over after her first bday anyway, so might as well start then! Woohoo!

For the taaaaadaaaa's -

-She's standing all by herself

-She took her first step (matthew saw this not me *sniff)

-She can walk if you hold her hand

-She says mama and dada discriminately now not just babbling

-She's eating so hearty (like chunks of chicken and fruit)

-She's blowing kisses (still working on it but has the general motions)

-She will carry on long conversations with herself

She's such a cutie pie and we are so proud to be her parents. She's growing so very fast and soon she'll be a one year old! Oh...invites will be coming soon...so far, the bday is planned for June 13th!
