Anniversary Gifts

I know our anniversary was last month, but I've been slacking a bit and am just getting around to posting about the gifts we gave each other. As you all know Josh is very talented when it comes to building furniture. He has made several blanket chests for others and I have been wanting one for a long time. This year he gave me the perfect give - a blanket chest of my own!

Josh reads a lot of documents for work so I gave him this 24" computer monitor that he can hook up to his laptop. It swivels so he can use it vertically or horizontally, which makes it perfect for reading documents.

Sleepy Girl

The other day Skyler and I were hanging out in the living room. I went into the kitchen for a couple minutes and came back to find her like this...
I pulled back the blanket to see her just sleeping away.

Swimming

We took Skyler swimming for the first time today. She loves taking baths, so we knew she would love the pool. She kept kicking her legs and loved just hanging out.

We went swimming right after I had gone for a run, so to help cool off I dunked my head under the water. When I popped up, Skyler started laughing. I did it a few more times and she laughed again and again. It's amazing how the most random things are funny to a baby!

6 Month Stats

Skyler is continuing to grow and is progressing well. It's hard to believe she was only 4 pounds 14 ounces and 17 inches long when she was born. She has been sitting up on her own for a few weeks and is rolling and scooting all over the place. Her head is still small, but at least it is growing!

Playing Outside

After getting off work today Skyler and I went outside and played for a while. I am so glad it's finally getting warm outside so we don't have to stay couped up in the house all day.
Skyler started sitting up on her own a few weeks ago and is getting really good at it. It's amazing how quickly babies learn and grow!
