Mandy's wedding/Punta Cana trip/X-mas 2007

OK, so I have to cram in 2 months of information here for everyone. Sorry it's been so long, but we have been crazy busy lately. As most of you know, Mandy got married on the 17th of December in the Dominican Republic. It was a beautiful wedding, and an awesome trip. Definitely different travels for Chad and I with a little one :) Skyler did very well. We were very impressed with her swimming skills. She loved the water so much that it was difficult getting her out by the end of the week. She had to have her shades on though b/c the sun was too bright, and she would splash herself in the eyes :)

Skyler is eating oatmeal with some gerber fruit food in the mornings, and rice cereal with a gerber vegetable at night. Of course she has some bottles of formula in between. I would have to say the oatmeal is her favorite, and the gerber bananas. She is getting to be such a big girl. She loves to stand and walk in her walker (she can now move forward instead of backward all the time). She has given up the pacifier except in crucial tired situations. She has 2 bottom teeth that popped up on December 11th. I think that may be why she has gotten rid of the pacifier. She loves the teethers and to suck on anything that gets close to her mouth (including fingers-OUCH!). She is such a happy baby. She laughs a lot, smiles all the time, and is doing very well in her crib now. She sleeps 6-8 hours, wants a bottle, then sleeps another 4-5 hours. Mommy is really enjoying this :)

She had a great X-mas. She received tons of toys and clothes from the Goin Grandparents (they always over-do it), and received a bookcase full of books form the Canfield Grandparents. She will be very well educated by the time she can actually read :) She also received toys, and her 1st X-mas ornament from her Grandma McClay. We thank all of our family members for making her 1st X-mas so special.

We have our 6 month appointment on the 7th, so I will give you all the updates on her weight, height, and head circumference. I think the doctor will be impressed :) I will try to attach as many photos of all the events that I can.
