The McKinney Family: Skylar is 6 months old!!

Sweet girl deserves a post. What a joy she is! We just got back from a trip to Orlando with Skylar (Leilabug had her own adventure here) and she was just wonderful. She certainly has her own personality at only 6 months old. Skylar is more reserved than her older sister. She is playful, happy, hungry, and quite the cuddler. She made her way into our bed every night in Orlando and I have to admit I loved cuddling with her. She is back in her crib now. Skylar is more uncertain of things, and needs to feel comfortable. She doesn't quite know what to do with solid food. She loves her sister and laughs hysterically at everything she does. She likes to be outside and swing. She is quite the observer and seems to be taking things in and thinking about them. In the morning, she rolls around in her crib until she turns her mobile on and just stares at it--so cute. She loves her room. On Easter, she cried the entire hour home from my parent's until I put her in her bed to sleep. She just rolls over and goes to sleep, just like that. Sucking her left thumb, of course. With her bottom in the air. Cutest thing ever.

Her nicknames are: Skylark, Cupcake, and Baby Bit. I can't believe she is 6 months old. She is 50% for weight and 60% for height, but everyone says she looks tiny. As her mother, I carry her around all day so I can assure you she is not that tiny. She is wearing 6-month clothes, some 9-month, and her hair is growing slowly. It is turning light brown and blondish, so perhaps may not have red in it after all. She has been teething since 4 months but no teeth yet--that is ok with me though. She is sleeping all night with only one feeding around 2:00 a.m. so life is good.

We lost our precious pet last month, and I still get sad about it. We are really busy right now so I am not blogging much. School is wrapping up, dance recital is coming soon, my sister Lisa's wedding is next month (!), so lots of posts to think about.
