Now, before you all think I am a bad mother for actually post this video, I would just like to inform you that Skye had already gone down the slide on her own, exactly like this a couple of times and was laughing up a storm. Of course, when I pull out the camera to film her cuteness she did this. So, I decided to post it anyway, because her "woooo" in the beginning and her laughing as she slides down is still pretty cute.

Skye's "secret language"

We've only got Skye to say a couple of words so far, but she seems pretty content with her own "secret language." She will look at you and nod her head while talking her language or point at something which gives you the impression she knows exactly what she is saying. Unfortunately, if I were to record her just speaking like that she would stop immediately and start grabbing the camera so this is the best I could do.

Skye's new bike


Taylor and I made a trip to D.I. to pick up a "wedding gift" and saw this bike. It was for 7 bucks and we figured it would be worth the money pretty quickly once Skye get's the concept of riding a bike. This is her first try and is getting better each time she tries. Every time we go outside she runs to her bike and attempts to climb on, we push her for a couple minutes then she gets off. We know that pretty soon she'll be flying down the street and we'll be screaming for her to get back on the sidewalk. :)

Other fun activities -


So, as Skye and I were biking one day I noticed a family down the street cleaning out their garage. The next day, this car was in between their garbages... so that night, Taylor and I sneaked down the street and snatched it up. I'm not sure if it's exactly "kosher" in Utah to take other people's garbage as it is in Georgia, but we don't regret it one bit; Skye loves it! (And don't worry, we cleaned it before we used it).

What Skye and I have been doing...

We've baked -



We've gone to the park lots of times-
She loves the slides and the swings, of course.


We've gone on lots of bike rides (this is my old bike, the new one has yet to be documented).

We've played in the rain-


Although Taylor's voice is in this video, Skye and I have played in the many rainstorms that have been happening lately. She loves it! And she's got some pretty good jumping skills which are quite useful when she's in a puddle if you can imagine.
