Congratulations Chris and Larry! Skylar Rae was born on December 28, 2008 at 14:40. She weighed 8 lbs 12 1/4 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long! She's a cutie; looks just like her mother!

To keep up with their sweet family, go to their blog.

Christmas with Grandma Charmie

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grandma Charmie's house. Mimi, Uncle David, Uncle Steve, and Uncle Mike were there also. We had a nice Christmas dinner with Grandpa D and his family. Thanks for all the great gifts and the warm hospitality!

Dinner with the Reed Family

Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff had us over for dinner on the 23rd. It was so much fun! As you can see from the pictures, I was the only little girl there. Kaleb R., George S., Devin, Cayleb, and Dalton...a bunch of boys.

Aunt Amy had beautiful Christmas decorations but especially liked her Florida Gator Christmas tree; it was AWESOME!!

Dinner was delicious and we had a GREAT time! Thanks for having us!

My Friend, George

While I was in FL, George and his mommy came to visit me! He's a cutie and I had so much fun playing with him. Aunt Marcella is such a sweetie and I love to give her hugs. Here are the pictures from our visit.

Christmas with Miss Amy

Miss Amy and I exchanged gifts before we left for FL. I loved my books and can't wait to get my new Baby Bug subscription. Check out our pictures.

Friends

I love this!

18 Month Check Up

Click the picture to see a larger version.

This afternoon, CC had her 18 month checkup. She was the perfect little girl while Dr. V examined her. I kept wondering what happened to the "real" CC.

Her stats:

weight - 25 lbs 10 oz
height - 31 1/4 "

head - 19

She's getting to be such a big girl. She decided to "show off" to the doctor that she knew how to put on her socks and shoes all by herself. I think Dr. V was impressed. Also, each time CC goes for her wellness checks, she gets a book. As you all know, she LOVES books. Dr. V asked her to point out items on the page; CC knew them. She's smart like her daddy, I mean mommy. :-)

Auntie Anne's Going Away Party

Today we had a "going away" party for our good friend, Anne. It's a bittersweet time for us; we're happy for her next adventure but sad that she won't be next door.

We had a great turnout. Nutz made his famous tacos and they were delicious as ever. As a "don't forget us" gift, I made a video, A Story of Anne...and her friends, for Anne. I included pictures (and lots of them) of our years (still can't believe we've known each other since 2004).

Goodbye, Vicki!

My good friend, Vicki, is moving to DC! I know, it's not that far! As a celebration of Vicki's new adventure, we (Anne, Vicki, and I) had dinner at The Green Onion; it was DELICIOUS!

Good luck Vicki, we'll miss you!

Great Website for Working Moms

I've shared this before, but Mommy Track'd is really a GREAT website for working moms.

Our New Toy

For Christmas, grandma and grandpa bought the family a WII. See Nutz boxing in the video below...

Family Pictures

While grammy and granny visited last month, we had updated family pictures taken. Thanks Aunt Marcella for reminding mommy to put up our latest family pictures!

Proof of Concept

As you all know, our daughter is making fine progress in communications. Yesterday afternoon Crackerz and I were quizzing Crazy Crumbz on her vocabulary. Can you say, Cow, I love you, sheep, nose etc. Well daddy piped in and said, can you say "fart"? Without missing a beat, Crazy Crumbz stopped what she was doing, looked at daddy, slightly squatted and squeezed out an air biscuit. Daddy laughed for about six minutes! You will have to go to a previous post and read about her first experience doing something similar.

Memory Lane

Do you remember when? Here are the rules...

1. As a comment in my blog, leave a memory that you and I (Crackerz, Nutz, and/or CC) had together. It does not matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything that you remember. If we are only blogging friends or if you're a blog hopper who happens upon my blog regularly...leave a comment. There must be a reason you keep stopping by. Say something! If you don't have a blog or don't know how to sign in, sign up for an account.

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog (if you have one) and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I will be sure to write one about you.
