Mother's Day was wonderful; Phil was awesome! I didn't have to do anything but play with Skylar. They got me a new Vera Bradley bag and Sky got me a SuperMom Sticker that I wore all day long. We had dinner with Phil's mom, sister, and grandma. He cooked a wonderful meal for all of us. Skylar loved playing on her Ama's screened in porch. It was a beautiful day and she loves being outside...especially if bubbles and flowers are involved.

Mother's day weekend was also Aunt Melissa's baby shower where Skylar showed Aunt Lissa what it will be like to have a toddler, LOL! Her Aunt Heather bought her a pink grocery cart that she pushed around the whole day. Afterwards, she got to play with cousin Izaiah for a little while and had a blast, but certainly didn't want to be held down.

It amazes me how much she is learning so quickly. Her words and syllables are becoming more defined and making more sense. She finally gave her grandma a name, "Ama", and learned to say Pop Pop this week. She is not only continuing to watch her favorite show "Yo Gabba Gabba", but is now requesting which episode she would like to watch. She is also starting to perform the dancey dances on the show. She knows the Alligator Chomp, Jumpy Jump Jump, and tonight she started doing the Jumping Jellyfish. We also noticed tonight the growth spirt we somehow missed. She can now see over the baby gate and no longer has to look around it.

Next weekend we are headed to cousin Beau's birthday party, which I am sure will yield great pictures. It is a 2 1/2 hour trip to and from, but we are equiped and plan to stop for Skylar's first IHOP breakfast. She is in Aunt Janet and Uncle Chris's wedding in June as their flower girl. The dress is adorable and I am looking for something adorable to put in her hair as well. Suggestions?
