Big Boy Skyler


My little boy is getting so big! Last night was the first night that we put him in his BIG boy crib because I'm getting ready to go back to work and I need to start getting the family on some kind of schedule. I was really sad because I knew that means no more snuggles with him in bed in the middle of the night. But, to my surprise Skyler did so good for his first night in his room! He only woke up twice. Once at 1:30 and again at 5:30, Which are his normal times to wake up.
So, I think last night I was having a hard time with him moving on to his big boy bed because on his first feeding at 1:30, I heard him start to cry threw the monitor and I sat up in bed and hit drew and told him that he had to take care of the other baby because I can only handle one baby at a time. Drew had this really confused look on his face. He looked at me and then the monitor and asked me where Skyler was and I told him with me. Once again he looked at the monitor and said " are you sure?" and I said "yes". Then he asked me again "What baby do you have?" and removed the covers from my arms. I had my stuffed animal Tony curled up in my arms. I thought it was a baby... Yea, Drew thinks I'm nuts.. I just think either I was having separation anxiety or very much sleep deprived!!! Oh well, it was a good laugh at 1:30 this morning!!

Skyler's First Dunes Trip

First Family Picture at the DUNES!
WOW! Skyler did so great for his first trip to the dunes! Friday night when we got there is was raining so he just chilled out in Ronnie and Delena's trailer. But, Saturday was still a little cold and he only came out of the trailer for a minute or so. But Sunday was an awesome day and he got to go out and sit with his daddy for the first time on a 4-wheeler.
It's was a really nice and relaxing trip! I had alot of help from Brittany, Delena, Erla and Kendra! Thanks guys!! We love you!






Ready for my first truck ride to the dunes!










Proud Daddy!






Hidding from the rain!!

I'm a month old!! Happy day to me!




Well, Skyler is a month old as of yesterday! He is getting so big. Earlier this week he finally grew out of his newborn diapers and I had to loosen his car seat. Everyday I feel that he changes so much. He's favorite things to do are just laying on the floor stretching out as far as he can, he loves just to sit up in his swing and just look around and of course suck on his binky. I love being a mom and I know that Drew loves being a daddy! Last night I told Drew that he is on baby sitting detail while I do some things around the house.. as you can see from the pictures Drew had so much fun with Skyler, Allie on the other hand is up in air.


On Monday and yesterday was Skyler's and myself first parting.. I had some things to do that Skyler could not be apart of.. So, he went to Grandma Crazy's house (my mom's) and she and my sister watched him. You could tell that they had SO much fun with him and he had his fun too. He was to tired last night! It was nice to get some decent sleep.


Well, this weekend is Memorial day and it's a big weekend at the dunes.. So, Skyler is taking his first trip out to the dunes. Drew is so excited! I'm surprised he has not gone out and bought Skyler his first 4-wheeler and helmet yet! So, we will just have to see how that goes!

oh boy!


Boy, oh boy! Has it been a busy last couple of weeks. well, Skyler is doing great! We have so much fun with him every day that passes! Last week was his first doctor's appointment. Skyler did not enjoy that appointment at all. He had to get circumcise, Because of his jaundice they would not do it at the hospital, so we had to wait for his 2 week appointment. Poor little guy.. I heard him screaming from down the hall! but Drew was a trooper and when in and watched and took care of his son! What a good daddy!!! But, Skyler has gained a whole pound since he left the hospital. He now weights 7 pounds 11 oz! He is becoming such a BIG boy! but still is so little. I had to go out and buy him some smaller clothes because nothing I had fit him. He hates to lay down, he always has to be sitting up and watching what is going on around him. Allie is finally warming up to him. When he cries she is right there! She loves to smell him and give him kisses.


Drew has started his spring project last weekend. He is re-doing our front yard! oh boy, is our front yard a mess! but, Drew promised me that it will be done by this weekend and it's going to look so nice. I'm excited.


Well, I had my first mother's day! It was great! It started off with breakfast with Drew's mom, then going and seeing all the other mom's that our special in our lives as well. Then Drew and Skyler took me out to a movie. We went and saw what happens in Vegas. Skyler did excellent for his first movie!! Then the day finished up with dinner at my mom's house! It was the best mother's day that anyone could have asked for! Thanks Allie and Skyler!
