Birthday Girl!

Behind the Scenes with the Anthony Family

Here, is some recent video of Schuyler flying high, thanks to Dad. I love hearing the sound of her laugh.
Tubing on a Sunday afternoon in early February - we are getting serious cabin fever up here!This video was shot the first week of January at around supper time. It was the first time that Schuyler initiated a game of peek-a-boo! It is now one of her favorite things to do.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Schuyler opening her first Valentine's Day present from Mom and Dad. (We got her a book, appropriately titled "I love you all the time" and new, pink pajamas. The pjs are two-piece - a top and bottom. I was so excited that she is big enough to wear two-piece pajamas!)

After opening her present, Schuyler enjoyed some blueberry pancakes. She enjoyed them so much that we had to give a bath afterwards!

Schuyler's December

Sporting her new hat while tree shopping with our friends Lauren and Kevin.

We took Schuyler out to dinner with the Moxeys and she entertained us by stealing our pickles.

The shirt reads: "What Santa doesn't bring me, Grandma will." Boy, isn't that the truth.

Schuyler opened her first Christmas present a little early. She received the most adorable, child friendly nativity from the Jennings appropriately wrapped in John Deere paper.

Santa stopped by the daycare Christmas party. Little Miss was not shy at all - she plopped right on his lap and started feeling his beard. Then, she started grinning when she realized everyone was taking her picture!

Todd made me these adorable cupcakes for my birthday.

Brrr - it's so cold in New England!

First Christmas

We loved starting family traditions this Christmas. Schuyler opened up her Christmas Eve present - pajamas and a book!

Another Anthony Family tradition - Todd reading The Grinch and Twas the Night Before Christmas to Schuyler on Christmas Eve. We got Twas the Night Before Christmas from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Scooter who used to read the story to cousin Whitney every Christmas Eve.

I love this picture. Larry and my Dad were timing Todd as he put together Schuyler's walker after we put her to bed on Christmas Eve.

Getting some labrador loving on Christmas morning.

Dixie has her own stocking, but she stills feels the need to put her snoot in everyone else's.

Warm clothes from Great Grammy Betty Love!

Our living room now looks like a daycare thanks to the grandparents.

Opening up her peek-a-boo barn. I'm not sure who enjoyed playing with it more - Schuyler or Aunt Jen!

Mom and Dad visiting the Mark Twain House & Museum. Who knew he wrote Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in Connecticut?

Where's Schuyler?

It's hard to believe that our Schuyler Bird is 10 months old! Here she is a couple of weeks ago hamming it up for the family at Sunday brunch.

November Pics

November brought lots of new achievements. First, came sitting all by herself! Then, she quickly mastered pulling herself up to a sitting position. And she continued crawling - she's everywhere and so much fun to be around.



Schuyler had a week off from daycare when DD came to visit. These are from her first day back - she literally squealed when she saw her little friend.


Schuyler - our little spelunker - loves to crawl under small, tight spaces and find her way out. She crawled under her crib at the daycare and just giggled away at herself.


"Daddy, when do I get my own cell phone?"

Ear Tubes

It took two attempts, but Schuyler finally got her ear tubes! She was scheduled for the first Tuesday in November and my Mom flew in to help take care of her. But the morning of her surgery, she was running a low fever and the doctor's did not want to take a chance. We certainly agreed with that approach, but were disappointed since the poor girl had to get three more antibiotic shots to take care of the existing ear infection. Two weeks later, she was fever free and ready to rock! Of course, Todd and I were both with her throughout the entire pre-op process. And I was able to walk her into the operating room and be with her while they gave her the general anethesia. She did great, but my stomach was doing flips! I barely made it back to the waiting room when the doctor finished the procedure. She was a little fussy when she woke up, but recovered quickly. Todd's mom sent her a card and told her that she was "one tough little Anthony." I couldn't agree more. We are so proud of our brave baby girl!

Schuyler's First Thanksgiving

We checked out the Macy's T-Day parade while Uncle Jonathan worked on the turkey and Daddy made the dressing.


The turkey weighed only slightly less than our Schuyler Bird.


Sharing a delicious meal with great friends!


Helping with the dishes - don't worry, I checked for knives!


Schuyler helped me get the leftovers out the next day.


Should I be concerned that she went for the champagne?

Bouncing's what Schuylers' do best! Oh my!

This video was shot the first Saturday in November. It was the first time she really bounced in her bouncer. She loved it! Later on in the day, she jumped until her little legs couldn't jump anymore and fell asleep!

Halloween Fun

Schuyler had her first school Halloween party at daycare on the Friday before Halloween. She dressed up as a little pumpkin for the day. Todd and I made sure to leave work early so we could take part in the fesitivites. I'm so glad we did - she was adorable and so was her little buddy, Jack a/ka/ Dumbo the Elephant.






We also hosted a small Halloween party for Schuyler and some of our friends. We all dressed up and each carved a pumpkin. Then, we made the trick or treaters vote on which one they liked best. Congratulations to our friend Lauren who carved her college mascot - the winner by a Nittany Lion landslide!
