Happiness

She Takes My Breath Away

 

Sometimes it's just because of her beauty.  Inside plus out.  Her long hair together with her eyelashes.  Her loving heart and caring spirit.  I just stare at her.  In awe at how she has grown right in from of my eyes.

Sometimes it's because of hyperventilation after she wakes me in the middle of the night with screaming.  Scaring me.  Crying and losing her breath as I try taking full inhalations for her to preserve her calm state.  But inside I'm gasping too, worried.

Sometimes it's from anxiety.  Concern about her growing older.  About preschool.  About her being gone from me.  Twice a week.  I try to breathe in and out, try to control it, try not to lose my breath.  Trying to hold my composure.

Sometimes it is just from realizing the incredible blessing she is.  She's ours.  She's this little blessing from above but she's ours.

 It takes my breath from me.  All of this takes my breath away.

i really do love my life

How can you not love this girl?

 

"2 Years Old"

In one way, it's hard to wrap our brains around the idea of Skyley turning 2 years old already, but in a way it feels as if Skyley's been here forever.

It is hard to remember our life before we were mesmerized by the beautiful sonogram photo.  Our life changed in that moment.....

 

 

     



 

She has certainly experienced so much in her short little life.

She loves being in the open air where she is able to feel the breeze on her face.  She is smart as hell and understands every word we say to her.  Her speech has quickly emerged.  Skyley says ANY WORD SHE HEARS.......and I mean....ANY WORD!!!

 

We have not found too many foods that she does not like.....she has eaten almost everything we have offered her including squash, zucchini, roasted eggplant, fish and raw onions. 

 

We love her a billion times over. 

Skyley Did That...

Loving my little baby

My baby is growing so fast I thought I'd better hurry and get to documenting.

Truly, at 22 months, I stare at our daughter and think she's not a baby now.

Now she's singing and speaking and yelling, screaming and demanding and talking to everything and everyone, and trying her hardest to write her abcs, where did my baby go??

Can I just say that I adore her, and that I love every moment with her?

Dallas and family

Museum visits to refresh our creative energy

Marshmallows

So I'm gonna take a stab at it and say that Skyley fancies marshmallows...

excuse the horribly messiness that is my house!!!



Father's Day 2010

Skyley turns 18 months!

The proof is in the pudding

Summertime Fun

Here are some silly pics of Skyley sleeping.
She stays still for pictures so much better when she is asleep.

Skyley had a lot of fun this summer.
