I wanted to update everyone on the new things that Skylar is doing. A few days ago Skylar started picking up her pacifier and putting it into her mouth. She has great aim but she is still working on her motor skills. What I mean to say is, she can't let go of if. So we are working through her frustrations with that.
She is rolling over and starting to sit. She needs pillows to support her when she sits but she is working hard on gaining muscle control. Dirk and I also like to let Skylar walk around the house. She understands the whole one foot in front of the other idea but she is way too wobbly to walk on her own. Not to mention totally not ready. She needs to crawl first. We work on that too but she isn't very fond of tummy time.
Tonight we had a fun event. Dirk and I, when we enter a room where Skylar is, we always say "Hi" and wave our hands at her. Tonight we were hanging out, Dirk and Skylar on one side of the room and I on the other, I waved to Skylar. She lifted up her right hand and held in high in the air. Then she made her fingers go up and down. When I put my hand down she put her hand down. We thought that this was surely just a freek happening so we did it again. She did it again. She did this 4 different times.
It is such a treat to watch as Skylar learns new things. It is hard to keep up with them all because she is learning things every second of the day.

She is SO cute! I am so excited for you all! Keep enjoying her!!!
Great pictures!
Cooper hated tummy time too. Don't worry. She'll crawl in plenty of time.
That's awesome about the waving, what a neat skill for her to have.
