Skye update!

Skye and her cousin Mayzie playing!


Messy girl didn't want to eat squash and kept turning her head!

Yay! Today Skye put my finger in her mouth and guess what?!? SHE CUT HER FIRST TOOTH :] Ahh i'm so proud of my baby girl.

I swear I feel like Skye has been teething since she was 5 months old. I can't believe how fast she's grown though. Time seems to pass a lot faster when you have a baby. I guess it's a good thing though because it helps you appreciate each moment you have with them. She's already 7 months old :[ it seems like just yesterday I was putting my cell phone on my tummy and watching her move around in my belly.

Another new thing Skye has recently learned is how to sit up all by herself. She doesn't have to have any support at all anymore. I guess she learned it a few weeks ago but still she's gotten so good at it! What a big girl!

We got Skye a high chair finally since she's eating baby food now. She loves it! I put her in it when I am cleaning the house too and she sits there and watches me and pounds her hands on the table. It's crazy how the simplest things make babies happy.

I taught Skye how to stick her tongue out and spit. It's the funniest thing! She does it all the time now and it cracks me up, except when i'm trying to feed her and she does it and the food goes everywhere.

The Family

Exciting news! Brandy and Quinn are engaged!!! Their wedding date is set for June 16, 2010. Yay i'm so excited for them. Our family adores Quinn, she couldn't of found a better guy! Congrats Brandy and Quinn!
Todd- He's in Florida workin his butt off at starbucks,why is that not suprising that he works there?! I miss him like crazy, we really had a great time together when I flew out to visit him in September. I'm excited that him and Spencer will be coming out in June for the wedding though.
Tyler and Tori- They got cell phones for their 15th birthdays. As exciting as it is for them, it's driving me nuts. Tori doesn't know how to hold a normal conversation with a human being anymore. She's constantly texting and pauses in between sentences to finish a text. I guess that's all just part of being a normal teenager though right?
Mom and Chuck- Four years ago from this month, mom and Chuck met and went on their first date. It's crazy how fast time has gone, but at the same time it's hard to remember life with out chuck. Even though Chuck has some pretty corny jokes, i'd have to say my mom couldn't of found a better guy! Who in their right mind would take on the responsibilty of 5 children with so many problems?!
Dad- My dad just bought a new house! He had been looking like crazy for the perfect house and then finally things just kind of fell into place and he got the house of his dreams. Skye and I were fortunate enough to move into his basement. It's like out own little basement apartment down there! I know my dad can't wait for all the yard work he has to look forward to.
Travis, Kristy, Myles and Mayzie- Travis got accepted to the police academy! We're so excited for him, he's been working really hard to get into it. The two kids are growing like crazy Mayzie has a mouth full of teeth and Myles has got quite the little personality. Travis and Kristy are sure doing a good job!
Chuck and Amy- Not too long ago they bought a house here in Utah! Neither of them work for Disney anymore which would be hard I imagine but I think they're settled here now with their new jobs and beautiful house. It's nice to have them close by so they can come to family events.

Skye's blessing

On March 7th, Skye was blessed by my step dad Chuck. It was seriously a great blessing! I haven't felt the spirit so strong in a long time. Skye was her usual self talking away in the microphone the whole time. It was definitely a great day!

Growing with Skye

I LOVE being a mom! Skye truly gives me purpose and makes everyday worth living! I was scared that I wasn't going to be a good mom, but I feel like I have grown with Skye and learned as I go. My baby girl is perfect, i'd say i'm doing a pretty good job. Skye has got such a little personality now. She exhagerates everything! Every cough, sneeze, scream etc. She cracks me up! Skye has learned how to mock me. If I stick my toungue out at her she does the same, if I smack my lips, so does she, if I scream she screams louder. She's hillarious. She is also trying to crawl, well scoot. She sticks her butt up in the air and pushes. Most of her attempts just result in her rolling over though.

in the NICU

Skye was born 6 weeks early. She weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz which is really good for being so early but because she hadn't learned how to "suck, swallow and breathe" she had to stay in the hospital for 22 days. It was hard going back and forth to see her and hoping that everyday would be the day I got to bring my baby girl home but when that day came it was more special than ever!
