Big Baby Steps!

Our little mama had some HUGE firsts this weekend!!

The tOMMY bOYS (the 90's alternative rock cover band her daddy moonlights in with Ryan Landrum and Doug Cook) had their first gig this weekend - which, thanks to our pal Crystal, was family friendly -which also means:

EDIE's FIRST CONCERT!!!
Don't worry, it was outside - her little ear drums are still fully intact!

After being passed around like a hot potato among all The Tommy Boy fans (E's grandparents and aunts and uncles and "aunts" and "uncles") and a brief costume (diaper) change - she passed out like any good little groupie would do!

Rock on little mama :)


PSA - the tommy boys can be found on facebook and heard here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSZvXV9Ex5s

and THEN?!

After a spring cleaning lunch time break, we had a little tummy play time and Edie Bug just went ahead and ROLLED RIGHT OVER!!!




We knew it was coming any day - she's been close for about a week! And now you cant get her to stay on her tummy! She just rolls right on over! But she's not a big fan of laying on her back either - she's way more of a sit up and see whats going on type of gal. I promise she would run after Holly outside if she had the coordination to do it!

and THEN!!!

For the past month I've been saying its time to move E's bassinet to the nook and away from the bed. And I always find an excuse not to. Not any good ones though - she sleeps through the night, doesn't fuss, no problems at all - there aren't any excuses any more.

Sunday we spring cleaned. A little while after the rolling over, I get a shout from Rob: "Honey, Don't freak out" Ok, I'll take the bait, "What happened?" as I enter the bedroom. I didn't even notice that Rob was standing where E's bed usually is. Then he glanced towards the nook.



I pouted and left the room so he wouldn't see the tears. Surprisingly, we all slept just fine Sunday night... I guess she is a big girl now! Lord help me when she outgrows her bassinet and has to sleep in her nursery... ok, lets change the subject ... :)

- a little note about the nooks theme - we went with Pez! There is a pez girl tin sign on the right wall, and spaceman sign on the left wall you cant see. Her mobile is made of the fuzzy pez dispensers. The diaper stacker (made by her great grandma, grandma la and me) is made of pez print fabric (not pictured). Her Daddys obsession continues :) The painting above the nook is not pez related but was painted for me by her Aunt Amanda - However, there is a pez painting by Auntiemanda for Edie in her room :)

Stay tuned for the stories from the Skolaski Family's first Galveston Vacation (we leave Friday night)!
