It was a beautiful day here yesterday so we headed out to the beach. East coast beaches are a little different than west coast beaches, the waves aren't as big, but I thought it was actually more beautiful overall, and you don't have to pay for parking! Although you can't see other people in these photos, the beach was packed! Spring break and gorgeous weather attracted a lot of people. Before the beach, Ryan wanted to take us to a burger place that he said was comparable to In-n'-Out called Five Guys Burgers. The place looked similar inside but the food was no where near the quality of a good double-double! No special sauce or grilled buns, but no doubt it was still good. Ryan had been gone the day before out at sea so we were happy to have him back home! We had a great day as a family!

A Day at the Jacksonville Zoo!
These little monkeys were both Skylee and my favorite. We watched these guys for a long time because they were so entertaining, and so was Skylee doing her impressions of monkeys herself.
Skylee can now say "Ele" for obvious reasons...Tuesday, March 4, 2008
15 Months And Counting...
It's true, kids start picking up on everything you do. This is just one example of Skylee repeating things we have been saying ever since she was born, counting...1, 2, 3! Most of the time she'll say "two" normal, then scream "three" or just scream, and we're supposed to know that is her "three!". Three is always the exciting part, where we are supposed to do something...if we don't then she'll make up somthing funny. She's just turned 15 months last week, but already the verbal skills have started to show that they will take off fast from this point! It's so fun as a parent to hear your little one trying to say all kinds of words! I have another video clip of Skylee in the bath repeating everything I tested her with, but didn't think it was the most appropriate to post my child in the bath online! This age is so fun!

Easter Decorating
Skylee's art project
I decided it was time we tested doing little art projects with Skylee. As you can see she just wanted to color on her hands, most of what is actually on the finished product for Ryan is me trying to show her how to do it. She got the point, but it was way more fun to see bright colors on her hands! Give her a couple more months and she'll blow you away! I did this with her in the morning (that's why she's in her p.j.'s still) before Ryan came home from work, then taped it to the door he comes into. When he drove up, he of course loved it!
