This is my first cloth diaper! Isn't it cute? I love the colors, Mommy says she might not ever use bloomers with my dresses again! The diapers are so soft against my skin, I wish we would have had these from the start!



March 15, first time putting my toes in my mouth! I was rolling around all over the floor as usual and Mommy looked up and saw me with my toes in my mouth! Ever since I found out I could do this I haven't stopped! I got very frustrated when I was in the shopping cart at Publix today and I couldn't reach my toes!



Also on March 15! Mommy mashed up banana and avocado for me. She also opened up a jar of beef, carrots, and corn which was a first for me and I gagged, it was so gross! So mommy dumped the baby food and the avocado and banana on my tray. I guess she wanted to see what I would do. I patted my hands in it then I rubbed my hands together, then I squished it around in my little fists. I sucked on my hands a little bit then I kept rubbing the sides of my head, Mommy was laughing very loud when I did that so I kept doing it. I gave myself an avocado shampoo! I didn't end up eating very much but I had a blast exploring the textures of things and Mommy says that is an important step in my development! She says the funniest things sometimes. I am not sure about this food stuff, it is fun but I prefer my milk.



March 7, my first warm weather trip to the lake! Mommy took me , sister, and 2 of my cousins to Grandaddy;s house a couple of weeks ago for the day. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. I got all slathered up with multi-spectrum spf 60+ sunscreen, put on my floppy hat, and pulled the shade on my stroller over me and I was ready to go down by the water! Mommy says I have skin like Daddy and she was very afraid that I would burn so she only let me sit in my stroller by the water for about 10 minutes. After that we had to go sit at the table under the big live oaks for shade. Grandaddy said he will put up a couple of big umbrellas so next time I can sit in the wet sand and explore. I can't wait for that to happen, I got some really cute cloth swim diapers from my Aunt and I have some cute bathing suits from her too! Mommy says she is going to get a canopy with sunscreen built in, she really is playing it safe!

Until now I have been happy to sit in my tubbie and let Mommy wash me. I would hold onto the faucet or even pat at the water with my hands but that got boring. Tonight Mommy put me in a different tub than usual, a tub that has a little more room. What Mommy didn't realize was that even though this tub is wider, it is a lot more shallow than my other one and tonight was the night I wanted to start something new! Mom put me in the tub as usual and put my soap on the wash cloth and started to wash my body. But this feeling came over me, I got all active and just had to kick my feet! What a reaction I got! Mommy started laughing and got all loud saying she was getting wet. Well that made me laugh and I did it all over again! Sister came up wanting to know what was going on so I did it more! Finally Mommy went to get the camera, by that point I had kicked half the water out of my tub! She let me continue until there was a giant puddle on the floor, her shorts were soaked, and the counters were flooded with soapy baby water. She pulled that pluggy thingy and all my water went away, I was still trying to kick anyway. After I was dressed and happily playing with my toys Mommy went back to clean up the mess, it took 4 beach towels to get all the water off the floor and counters! It was under the coffee maker and even all the way to the stove, even the rug was wet! Mommy threw it all in the washing machine and said "I guess that's the end of sink baths, I sure didn't give you permission to grow up this fast" I wonder why she keeps saying that?

Chasing Waterdrops

I love my bath time! I never get tired of being in that nice, warm water! I like to hold the faucet now while the water is on. It feels smooth and warm when the water is running through it. I have a messy face because I just ate a jar of chicken and apples. It was my first "meat" ever! I loved it and I let mommy know I loved it by grunting and snorting whenever she gave me a bite. I even went "mmmm-mmmm-mmmaaaa" in between bites to let her know I wanted more. I ate the whole jar but I was a mess when I got done, I even had food up my nose! So off to the bath I went!

My sister thought it would be neat to pour water from my little sieve I tried to grab the sieve, it is one of my favorite toys. I usually try to drink water out of it or chew on it! You can clearly see chicken and apples on the bottom of my nose!

That thing is just out of my reach! I am not a quitter though, I am going to keep trying to get it!

Well, forget that toy, the water drops are so neat looking! I wonder if I can catch them...hmmmmm. Why can't I grab one?

I am going to go cross-eyed trying to look at these things! I just know I am going to be able to grab one at some point! This is the most challenging bath I have had!

I just wanna bang on a drum all day!

Sister let me borrow her silly chef hat so I could be a silly little girl! Take a good look at that gummy smile, now that I have my first tooth my smile is going to start looking different!

I went to see my cousins Jason, Nicole, and Evan last Friday night and they had a drum there. I really liked the drum a lot, everytime someone banged on it I laughed. Jason put the drum in front of me and I knew just what do to, rat a tat tat! Mommy wanted to get me a drum like his but she couldn't find one so we settled for this one. It lights up and makes noises and even turns into a rolly thing that I can chase around!

See how much I love my drum? Everytime I pat on it the top lights up and it makes music! It makes me giggle!

Bam, bam! Bam, bam, bam! I make lovely music! Mommy can't wait to give me her pots and some spoons to make music with. I can't have a spoon yet though, I would just shove it down my throat.

It goes bop-itty-bopitty-bop! I think I am going to be in an all girls punk band one day, it will be called Midnight Skye!

Beautiful Baby

We went to the park today near the Orange Park City Hall in between Lexi's book club and improv classes. There was a patch of clover by an oak tree that I thought Skye would like to sit in, she has never sat on the ground outside before. She was so curious about the clover and kept rubbing her fingers in it, I bet she wanted to eat it. Anyway, she looked so adorable in her dress and sweater I just had to get out the camera.


I love the way she holds her hands together when she has nothing else in them!

I love my chubby baby! You can see her left eye is swollen and red, this is from the scratch on her eyeball. Later that evening I took her to the e.r. because it looked so bad, she had to have dye put into her eye and the doctor looked at it with a u.v. light, it was a pretty big scratch. She has some ointment and is now pretty much healed. She also got her first tooth this past weekend, so between the eye and the tooth it was a rough few days for her!

Still trying to smile even though her eye and her gums hurt!

Attempting a Bottle

Mommy gave me too many bananas and I had to have some prune juice to help me go potty. I don't have any sippy cups yet so mommy put it in this thing called a bottle. The nipple was nice to chew on! It wasn't like anything I had ever had before and I couldn't suck on it right. The juice was coming out way too fast and I kept sputtering and coughing!

After a few minutes mom gave up and took the nipple off and just let me drink it like it was a cup. I did much better with it this way! Mommy says we will get some sippy cups this week and start practicing drinking from them. Then all the milk she pumped and froze won't go to waste! My eyes got really big everytime the juice went into my mouth, there was water added to it but it was still really sweet!

This makes a great chew toy, messy, but great!

I can hold it by myself! But I am still just chewing on it!

My attempt at sucking ended with me being covered in watered down prune juice! See it running all over my face, that stuff just came out way too fast!

I really have a lot going on right now! Here I am with my big sister wearing my very first pair of jeans! Mommy didn't leave them on me for though, she was afraid that they looked uncomfortable. I thought I looked cute!


This is my sign, Mommy makes me a new one every month! Of course I am chewing on my yummy shirt so I'm not very concerned with the sign. I'm not sure what it says but I think it has to do with how old I am! I'm getting pretty old I think, look at me sitting all by myself! And I can roll and even do a bit of what Mommy calls a "combat crawl". I can't wait to crawl for real, I am going to try to go up the stairs and get into all of my sisters interesting looking toys! They are small and colorful and they look like things I would like to put in my mouth. I keep hearing Mommy say something about a baby gate when I start to crawl, I sure hope that doesn't mean they are going to block the stairs!



Well Mommy kept taking pictures so I decided to look down to see what the sign said. I can't read so I still don't know but it sure is a bright, pretty color! Hmmm....wonder what it tastes like!

My first meal in a high chair! Mommy and Lexi went to Mellow Mushroom and I got to go with them! They have this stuff called avocado there, Mommy was very excited to hear that it is fresh and they don't even cut it until you order it. She asked for some mashed avocado in a bowl. I really dig this stuff, it is super yummy! And it doesn't make it hard to poop like bananas do! Mommy says she is glad I like avocado because it is tasty, cheap, and brain food. I don't know about brain food but I sure like to eat it!

I am sitting in my little bath now, it won't be long before I am using my little sitty thing in the big tub! Mommy says she is going to use my sink bath for as long as possible because bending over the big tub makes her back hurt, she is so old! I like to play with my bath toy, Mommy puts clean water in it for me so if I drink some it won't be dirty water. Bath time is my favorite time of the day right behind nursing, playing, and eating! I love bath time because when I am all done Mommy puts me in a fluffy towel and lays me on my changing table and gives me a massage with lavender lotion then brushes my hair and dresses me in warm, cuddley pj's. It is such a great way for me to relax at the end of a long day of exploring, playing, and learning new things!
