Time for bed

Last night Skylar was giggling & babbling & then she fell asleep sitting on my lap. She was out for the next seven hours! So cute.

1st possible word

Today when Skylar woke up she said dada dada & she said it again later. I'm not sure if she is trying to say Daddy...but it made Larry's day! She has been making sounds for a long time so I'm sure more words will come soon.

My favorite hobby

This is what I do all day in Kansas!!!

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to all the great dads I know...especially my Daddy & my Grandpa.

ps I weighed in at 19 lbs today!

recipe from Grandma Booker

This is so cool! How do people come up with these clever ideas?

ZIPLOC OMELET works for one or many and cleanup is easy. Put the sterilized wet pot back and throw away the Ziploc and disposable plates and forks.
This works great ! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that everyone has to wait the same short time for their special omelet !
Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2 eggs) and add about ¼ cup of milk / buttermilk (if desired), then shake to blend them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, green chili, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Hot air expands
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for at least 13 minutes [we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.. For more, make another pot of boiling water. (You can use a clothespin [if you find them] to secure each bag to side of the pot).
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
And the Omelets are just the right shape to fold over other ingredients.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag/s in boiling water while you get ready. And in 15 minutes while using that time to get ready, you've got a nice omelette for a quick breakfast. Eggs and cooked bacon bits/sausage are good combos

Skylar updates

Skylar is getting big fast. I can't believe she will be 6 months old next Sunday! She is so sweet. She smiles & giggles all the time. She giggles the most when Taz(our dog) gets in trouble. She rolls over back to belly & belly to back. She babbles on & on & we know it won't be long before she says her 1st word & I am hoping it will be Mommy! She doesn't quite crawl yet but she scoots around so it won't be long now. I started her on rice cereal about a week ago. She loved it the 1st 2 days...opened wide & didn't make a face. Each day she liked it a little less & now she closes her mouth, makes a face & cries when I try to feed her. I guess she would rather have what we are eating! Last week I took her to TN & next week we are going to Colorado for a week. She travels a lot more than I did at her age!

Swimming in my pool from Aunt Cindy

Today was 100 degrees & super muggy. Since we couldn't cool off Daddy decided to blow up my froggy pool from Aunt Cindy. As you can see I love it!

My 1st meal

Skylar tried cereal for the 1st tme today. She didn't make a face & didn't spit any out! She loved it.

Mommy & Skylar's TN trip

We had a great time in TN! We stayed for 1 week. Skylar got to meet her new cousin Emily, Aunt Cindy & Uncle Johnny, Aunt Kim, Uncle Roy & Aunt Claudia. She also got to visit with Grandma, Grandpa & Anthony again.

Our adventure at the vets office

Today I had to take Taz & Skylar to the Vets office on base. It's a 25 minute drive & they were both very well behaved. Larry met us at the office. The vet on base is super cheap...only $2 for a visit & the shots & heartworm pills are about 1/2 the price of other vet offices. We were there about 1 1/2 -2 hours. When we arrived Taz did his business right outside the door on the grass. As usual Larry asked if he could hold the baby so I could pick it up. While we were in the waiting room Larry kept telling me it smelled & I told him I didn't smell anything. Then he held the baby up to my face & told me to smell. I told him to NEVER do that again since I don't smell diapers I just change them! I took her to the car to change her big messy diaper & all of the sudden Larry came out of the Vet's office yelling "oh my gosh...oh no!" I asked what was wrong & he showed me the front of his uniform pants...Skylar leaked poop on Larry! I laughed so hard & he said it wasn't funny & he might die & was at the very least going to throw up! I asked him to go back inside so we didn't miss our appointment. It serves him right for never changing diapers! A few hours later I knew it was time for another diaper change. I tried not to smile & asked Larry if he wouldn't mind changing her & he said sure since she can't possibly poop twice in one day! I turned & laughed as he opened the diaper. He closed the diaper back up & handed her to me! I like to give him a hard time but he is a great Dad!
