July pictures

Here are some misc. pics from the last month. We had a visit from Douglas & Terry from NJ, a visit from Mike from NY (poker night!) & a visit from the Weg's from Rhode Island. Skylar loves having company. She also loves her new play house from Grandma Frey.

July updates

Skylar is really growing fast. She understands directions very well..such as...go get your ball from the toy box, etc. She loves when you read her stories & loves her stuffed animals. She sleeps with about 10 of them! The other day Larry was taking a shower & Skylar took about 3 stuffed animals & lined them up outside the door & waited for Larry to come out! Her favorite words are yea & nah...she uses them a lot. In the morning when she gets up she yells for Taz & them gets him a dog treat. She started swim lessons this week at the rec center. We will go mon-fri for 2 weeks. She loves it. We are enjoying our summer & we are looking forward to our family beach vacation in September.

swimming at the Broussard house

Today our friends Chris, Elizabeth & Lauren invited us over to swim in their pool. We had a wonderful time. Their pool is so big it feels like a resort out in the country.

Stella's Birthday Party

Today was Stella's 4th Birthday party. It was a Zoo party. The kids had a blast. They got to see a millipede & a giant bullfrog. They got to pet a snake, lizard & feed & pet the goats. Skylar had so much fun. After the party we stayed & looked at the prairie dogs & monkeys & cooled off in the fountains.

18 month checkup

Today Skylar had her 18 month checkup ( she is 18 1/2 months old) She weighed 25.1 lbs & is 33 inches long. The Dr. said she is looking good. After her checkup we had to go to the lab for her wheat allergy test. I had no idea they were going to draw her blood like a grown up! It was horrible. She screamed her head off as they tried several times to get blood & couldn't find a vein. The lady asked me to come back another day. I told her I would be back when she's older & did not want to put her through that again. Then when she stopped crying we still had to get her immunizations. They did it really quickly but she saw it coming & screamed. The whole day broke my heart. After her shots I put her in the stroller & walked out to the car. When I went to put her in her seat she handed me both band aids that she had removed herself! I gave her a cup of milk, her stuffed pig & put in a movie for the ride home. She took a nice nap & woke up a happy little girl.
