11:34 am July 10 one year ago...

my life changed forever and God blessed me with a perfect baby girl...beautiful from head to toe I remember looking at her saying, "she is perfect more perfect then I ever imagined." I am flooded with emotions today as I think back at the moment she entered this world so prue and innocent. Joe telling me it is Skye...when all along I thought it was Dante. The way we held our baby girl as tears streamed down our faces. The instant, uncontional love that made our hearts ache. The feeling of loving something more then oursleves. The look in Joe's eyes as he held his daughter. The words I have a daughter. The way she looked at us like she knew we were her parents. The rare feeling of knowing this little girl needs us so much. The thought of wanting to give her everything and keep her happy always. And so the list could go on and consists of feelings I couldn't possible put into words...nor are there words that can describe our first year together....and so a year later...

I think this sums it up.... our little princess

We have an event filled weekend. Nanny and Poppy flew in from New Jersey. Uncle Brian and Aunt Lori came from Tampa. Sara, and Noah came from Tampa. And all mine and Joe's friends are here to celebrate Sky's first year. Friday we are having a party at home with some friends and family, and Sunday we are having a big pool party with everyone.... pictures to come..

Happy Birthday my sweet angel thank you for the best year of mommy and daddy's lfe...you are oh so special and we love you more than the moon, stars and back again.

Look at the two top teeth the finally came in! She looks so stinking cute with them even though I am a sucker for the "gummie" smile.

for a little skye everyday. we are so busy everyday doing different things with all her friends. and all my friends. and we sure do have a lot of great friends. she loves the water. the pool. the beach. the waterpark. it doesn't matter she is a water baby. a florida baby for sure. we are figuring out a new schedule and that is a challenge as there are many challenges. but we are figuring it out together. we grow with them. we live and learn with them. i have learned more in 11 months then i have in a lifetime. skye is knowledge. happy 11 months sweet angel.

I did think along with summer would come more time...time to scrapbook, blog, paint my nails, but I was foolishly mistaken...so posts are still far and few in-between but in-between we are having fun...fun..fun..and trying to figure out a sleeping schedule.

Summer is Here...

my baby loves pool parties!!!!

Cutie Pie

And although she is the cutest stinking thing I have ever seen she is also... good. A good I can't even put into words...Nap... no nap... rain...sun...she is just always happy smiling pleasant the kind of happy that just radiates the room and just makes you smile. I think to myself how blessed I am for this ray of sunshine that just lights my life up everyday. And that I get to spend all day every day with her this summer. 3 days left and counting down...until summer...we are going to have a great summer...I will not take one day for granite..we are going to live each day to the fullest...and we are going to have a birthay too...summer baby summer fun.
