My Annoucement Picture

This is the picture that was sent to everyone Mommy knows to introduce me. Just me and all of my stuffed buds. I have only been around for 2 weeks and already my toys are overtaking my bassinette. The sun is from Mommy's friend in Australia, the pink cat is from my Godmother, the frog from my Tia Marta, the oh so Orange bear is from my Grandpa in Florida and the bunny and elephant were from, ummm, oops Mom forgets. But I love them all!

Little Darling

Mom loves this picture. She says that it is so girly. My brother is very boy boy and she wants me to be very girly girl. I hope to be a little tom boyish while still maintaining my femininity. Isn't that what being a Goddess is all about? I should be able to have it all, be it all, do it all!!! So there!

Me and my Daddy

Yup that big guy is my Daddy. Watch out boys, he is big and strong and will knock your block off if you are not nice to me. I know it looks like I am screaming in this picture but I was very very tired. How can one tell that this is an actual yawn and not a scream. Notice the smile on Dad's face. No furrowed eye brows, no tense jaw. All is well!

My Abuela

Abuela was the first person to hold me, after Mom, Dad and the entire hospital staff. She has 5 grand kids already, I am number 6, the 5th girl granddaughter. My brother is the only grandson so far. She is soft and really good with babies. I hope the rest of the kids leave some room in her lap for lil ole me.

My Tia

My Tia lives in California but she came all the way to New York to help my mom when she came home from the hospital. I get to see her again this Christmas. I will be so much bigger by then. Even though Mom keeps up with the pictures, I hope she recognizes me.

Week One Family Picture

Mom wants to take a family picture every week like she did for my brother's first year. Here is week one. As you can see I am basically just a bundle of pink.

My God Sister

This is my God-Sister holding me at the hospital. I was 2 days old. She loves me already, I can feel it. She is going to teach me so much. Her mom and my mom are friends. My mom watched her being born. She says it was one of the best days her life. Her mommy and daddy are going to be my God-Parents. Which means we will be sisters in our hearts. I don't have a sister so I am pretty excited about that. Plus her mom buys her really nice clothes which I hope to inherit when she grows out of them.

My Arrival

HERE IS MOM RIGHT BEFORE SURGERY

Yes below this is my very first picture. Dad took the picture of me, I really wish he would have waited for me to put on some lipstick, maybe a little lip gloss. Mom was being sewn back together after I was cut from her warm, silky, womb. I was 7 lbs. 4 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Mom was very sick the whole time she was in surgery but she did get to see me for a moment. She held me while she was in recovery and told me that she loved me. I think I might love her too. We spent 3 days together in the hospital and it was wonderful. I had her all to myself. We got to know each other uninterrupted. Every day Daddy, my brother Jesse and my Abuela would come visit me and Mommy. I couldn't wait to go home.

A Girl Named Skye

Mom named me Skye.
As the story goes....
Dad got to decided on the boys name and mom got to decide on the girls name. My brother Jesse got his name because Dad was into Monster Garage and liked the name. If he was pushed Dad might come up with a deeper meaning but we will never know. My name has a much longer story.

Mom liked the name when she first heard it about 8 years ago. One of her best friend's co-workers named her daughter Skye and she thought it was a beautiful name. It conjured
up all kinds of things for her. It reminded her of the color blue, her favorite color, she also thought it was different. My grandma died when mom was 12 years old and mom wanted to honor her somehow but by not naming her "Diane" (Yup, that's Grandma's name). My aunt's middle name is Angelique which of course my Grandma chose. Mom collect angels and says that Grandma has always been her "Angel in the Sky." Mom didn't think Angelique Skye flowed as well so hence my name, "Skye Angelique." I think it's pretty too.
