I started this sometime in July (Sky was 8 months): We lowered Skylar’s crib today. There are three levels. We started our girl on level one and Matt was wanting to skip down to level three today. I instantly said, “No way!” Not because it wouldn’t make sense to move it all the way down and not …
No, I didn’t throw a half birthday party for my Sugar Plum Princess, but she did wear a dress and a headband for perhaps the second time in her life. Solid effort, Mom! She doesn’t seem to mind headbands, so I might start throwing them around that noggin more often so people stop calling her …

Alright, let’s see how long Skylar’s nap lasts…I’m on the clock! I’ve got heavy rain white noise YouTubed right now, so hopefully that’s just what Sky needs for some solid sleep. Speaking of solid sleep– this girl (me) got 7 hours basically straight last night! New Father of the Year, Matt Grevers, took the night …
