Skyler's 2nd Birthday

For Skyler's birthday this year, we had Josh's parents and grandpa over for dinner, presents and cake. Skyler seemed to get the concept of opening presents a lot better this year, and even tried to open one of them while I was making dinner. She got a lot of fun toys and loved her birthday cake!

Legos

Her own tools and tool box

Minnie Mouse doll from Grandma and Grandpa

(she had to use her new screwdriver to help her open her next present)

Learning how to use her new tools

Reading her birthday card 

Skyler sat on the table while I decorated her cake and kept saying "kitty cat, meow!"

Twin Bed

Josh has been building a twin bed for Skyler and just finished it this past week. He finally had some time to put it together today. We love how it turned out and Skyler really seems to like it too. We aren't quite ready to transition her to a normal bed yet, but probably will some time within the next couple of months.

Garage Fun

I love having a girl! Skyler loves the typical girl things - necklaces, the color pink, dolls, you name it. But she can also be a tomboy. She HATES having her hair done (as you will notice in these pictures), enjoys playing in the dirt, and loves to hang out and "help" her dad in the garage. Josh was working in the garage this morning and she wanted to hang out with him, so he propped up her trike and gave her a few tools and she got right to work on her trike.
