Dad Duties

One month to go and the nursery is coming together! Todd has put the furniture together - he did an awesome job - took him no time at all! These are some pics of my man at work!

Schuyler Grace

Some of you have asked about how we came up with our baby girl's name. "Schuyler" (pronounced SKY-LER)is actually the original spelling of "Skyler" or "Skylar." The name is Dutch and means scholar. We have loved the name for as long as I can remember. After much debate and consideration, we decided to go with the original spelling. It seemed a little more classy and sophisticated to us. Plus, I'm hoping people will be less likely to shorten her name to "Sky." Also, when I did a search of the baby name "Schuyler" on google, a picture of the actress/singer Schuyler Fisk came up - she was drinking Starbucks and walking her chocolate labrador with her mom (Sissy Spacek). I took it as a sign! So, even though it's "different," we really love it and we are in good company - Michael J. Fox named his daughter "Schuyler."

Her middle name "Grace" is much simpler. It was my great grandmother's name on my Mom's side. She was a tall, very sweet woman who used to write letters to my Mom that ryhmed. In fact, when I was going through my baby book at Christmas, I discovered a letter she wrote to my Mom after one of our visits. I'm hoping to find a frame and put it in Schuyler's room.

Here are some requested pics of my ever growing belly. S has turned into quite the basketball since Christmas.

Christmas for Dixie

Grandma and Grandpa Davis sent Ms. Dixie her Christmas present a little early. Needless to say, she loved her new ball!
