21 months

Skylin is 21 months now. She's changed so much in 3 months I just wanted to share facts about her. She is such a fun girl! She makes us laugh every day. She does the silliest things. She sometimes even gets in these moods where she just laughs at everything. I love it! She is also talking so much more. I couldn't tell you how many words she knows and uses. She learns more every day. She has a love for horses, babies, and books. She sleeps with books and babies every night, which keep her plenty entertained when she wakes up. She still sleeps 12hrs at night and takes 1 nap. She actually likes to have her teeth brushed and insists on it! (We have come a long way!) She has this big sister thing pretty much down. I can't get enough of how much they love each other. Skylin always looks for Truly the first thing after waking up. She could care less about me. ha! She has gotten so much more gentle and patient than she was. She's actually helpful too: throwing away diapers, getting me things, and helping with chores. Her favorite game is Hide-n-seek baby and can count to 6 all by herself! She has become a daddy's girl. She loves to play with him every time he comes home. (And am I allowed to add that she is better behaved for him too? Cute stinker!) Between fits and hurt feelings, Sky is filled with so much love to give and we love her SOOO much for it.I added these pics that my sis-in-law took when they were visiting. Sky is finding more enjoyment out of playing with other kids, especially her cousin...
And thinks jumping on the bed is the best! She disappears to her room to do this often.

3 months

Truly is 3 months already! This past month has flown by! Though it's been a wonderful adjustment, I still feel like I just had her. Maybe her big sister has something to do with that. Tru is a great baby! I love how smiley she is getting. She loves when I talk to her and she also loves watching Sky. She's rolled over a handful of times, but doesn't do it consistently. She's also started trying to grasp objects and put them in her mouth. She's actually a thumb sucker. It's looks so cute, but I do not want her to have that habit, so I always give her the binky. Sometimes when I haven't laid her down for nap yet, I'll catch her sucking her thumb. Has since the day she came out! She still has all of her gorgeous brown hair, which is a little surprising since she has those big blue eyes just like Sky has. She averages 10hrs between feedings at night and now weighs 13.2 lbs. I feel so blessed and just keep praying I can be the mom my girls need.












(Obviously I didn't take this pic with the others yesterday, but I think that it shows her personality really well.)

Labor Day Weekend

We started the weekend off early Last Friday when one of my best friends got married. It was a beautiful and fun ceremony and reception! I'm so happy for you Alan and Samantha Abildskov! And I'm so happy we got to be apart of your big day! (I'm only sad about the fact that we are no longer aloud to live next door to each other, because I enjoy being at the top of our ward list. (;)


{They're both getting so big and cute!!}


Monday morning Austin was up early to go cliff jumping at the lake with some of the young men. The girls and I met them at Austin's parents to swim. Later, we went by the Superstition Mountain Museum. (Free groupon find(:) We had never been before. Sky's favorite parts were the fake horses and carriages, of course. They have an elvis chapel that was used for lots of movies. We had fun! We even went to a bbq later that day. We were all exhausted by the end, but oh how I love me some family time!





{Sky's been getting herself stuck in weird places lately. She thinks it's funny intil she realizes she can't get herself out}



{Side note: right after this pic was taken, Elvis fell over and scared Sky to death! ha. Luckily he didn't break.}
