Nothing too exciting happened this weekend. Skylar developed some pretty good butt/diaper rash so we made an appointment with the pediatrician on Friday to get it checked out. He said it’s nothing serious and to just put some Neosporin on it and try to keep her butt dry to let it heal. Chris and I do a good job of keeping it dry at home but the rash seems to develop after going to daycare… guess we just gotta keep reminding them to dry her butt before putting the diaper on. The pediatrician says rashes can develop and go away depending on how her body digests stuff. He said they do like to keep an eye on nasty rashes though just to make sure it’s not a staph (spelling?) infection- and this one doesn’t look like that… whew! They weighed her during her appointment on Friday and she was 10lbs 5oz- I thought for sure she’d be over 11lbs! I’m trying not to get worried about her weight- the ped. said we take a closer look at it on Thursday, 11/12 when she has her “official” 4-month checkup appointment to look at the charts to see if she’s on-track. Chris and I also got the H1N1 vaccination on Friday at the pediatrician’s office- they gave us the nasal spray- let’s hope it works and helps Skylar avoid getting sick! Chris and I now both have both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccinations. Friday night Chris had his hockey game- again, Skylar and I didn’t go with him. I don’t really remember what I did that night- I think just odds and ends around the house and then tried to fall asleep for a little bit before Skylar’s last feeding at 10:30pm.
Saturday was football of course- a very disappointing day! Penn State lost and Iowa lost- what’s up with the Big Ten??? Skylar had on her Penn State outfit but we also decided to put on her Tennesee bib so she could spit on that instead of her PSU outfit 
I also propped the Boppy up against the back of the couch so Skylar could “sit up”- and I can’t remember if I mentioned this in an earlier post or not but Skylar is already addicted to the TV! She definitely turns her head and will watch whatever’s moving on the screen… not a good sign, huh? Anyway, so I propped her up and put the remote in her hand so it looks like she’s really watching TV
And the poor little girl has a bald spot on the back of her head:
Saturday night we went out to dinner with some friends at an irish pub up near the Denver Tech Center (about halfway between Castle Rock and Denver)- here’s a picture of Katie holding Skylar:
And a picture of Karen holding Skylar:
Sunday was another pretty uneventful but nice day- we went for a walk to the grocery store and did our shopping, we watched a movie (“The Proposal” with Sandrea Bullock- very cute), and went to REI, Best Buy and Target. Fun day!
Here’s a link to a video of Skylar laughing- it’s funny because there are times during the video where she seems on the verge of crying but then she’ll start laughing…

And another video of her doing some tummy time on the playmat- nothing too exciting- just a video.

And now I’m updating the blog, uploading videos and photos and am going to share them. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
