My favorite picture I took - she just looks like a pretty porcelain doll!
And her cute birthday party invitation my sister in law made! It has a white border around it but of course you can't see it because the background is white. :) I found this cute invitation on tinyprints.com and my sister in law made one to look like it! Definitely a lot cheaper!
And my last post was SO extremely long (sorry about that by the way - I bet nobody even read it because it was so long) that I was just sick of typing. I wanted to talk more about Rylee and her cute little personality right now! She has grown so much lately and is just showing more and more personality (and attitude) that I just wanted to share. :)
-She loves giving kisses. Even when you don't ask for one she crawls right over and slobbers your face over and over. Love it!
-She loves climbing up on things. The bed, the couch, her chair, etc - and just bounces and giggles or yells.
-She loves her chair! Any time we are in the living room she crawls over to it and plops right in it like a big girl!
-She loves walking with her stroller walker and just pushes it around everywhere!
-When she doesn't want something, or something is in her way she picks it up and chucks it behind her. Or when you try to hand her her sippy cup while she is eating - or anything she doesn't want she will either shove it away from her or she will pick it up and throw it on the ground. And then follow that with looking at the ground saying, "uh oh." -Little stinker!
-I have already said it, but I will say it again. She LOVES LOVES LOVES food. Seriously anything and everything I give her she eats it up! She loves fresh fruit especially. I give her just about everything I eat and she has loved everything. She especially loves feeding herself. As do I - it makes things so much easier. She can eat while I clean the kitchen, etc. She loves tuna fish sandwiches, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, french toast, scrambled eggs, peas, carrots, chicken nuggets, beans and rice, and the list goes on. She also LOVES whole milk. And water.
-She is such a bottle girl. As soon as she sees her bottle anywhere she keeps saying "ba ba.. ba ba" until I hand it to her.
-She loves Daddy. When she wakes up in the morning or from her nap she says "Dad" or "Hi" over and over. She can also lay in her crib and talk for at least a half hour - sometimes longer when she wakes up. I especially love listening to her in the monitor.
-She is getting a lot more cuddly which I am LOVING.
-She is talking a lot. Her main words are Hi, Dad, Mom (on occassion), ba-ba, uh-oh, Papa, wassat (while pointing at something), and when you ask her what the kitty says she says "owww." We go to my in-laws and she just stares at the cats saying oww oww over and over it is so cute.
-She loves the shopping cart and shopping. She thinks she is such a big girl! She turns around in the cart so she can see where we are going. And while we are shopping she says hi to everyone we pass.
-She literally has the longest eyelashes. I can't go anywhere without someone saying something about how long her eyelashes are. (Or about how cute she is!)
-She loves opening and closing anything.
-She loves the dryer. Whenever I am putting clothes in or taking them out she likes to take pull clothes out and throw them on the floor or take clothes and put them in the dryer.
-She is very smart. She knows who Jesus is. She is on the other side of the room than the picture of Jesus and you ask her where Jesus is. She looks over toward the picture and points. And when we are looking at a family picture I ask her where Daddy is. She points right at Kelly and then I ask where Mommy is and she moves her arm and points at me. :)
-Still loves her binky!
-She loves to ride in the car. I am going to keep her rear facing for probably 5 or 6 more months and then move her so she faces out. She will love that day!
-She loves her bath. She loves to play and splash the water everywhere.
-Her hair is definitely getting a lot thicker.
-If she is holding something and you try to take it away she starts screaming and throws her arms everywhere making it nearly impossible to grab whatever she has. It is really funny!
-She loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
-I just noticed yesterday she got her 7th tooth! I was shocked. I haven't felt her gums in probably a week so who knows when it came through!
-She is SO close to walking. She will stand on her own but I think she just gets too nervous to walk. Any day now!
-She goes to sleep so good. (I still recommend to EVERY parent to let your child cry themselves to sleep. They will learn SO quickly that it is bedtime and very quickly will go to sleep without even crying.) It has been 3 months since we first let her cry herself to sleep and now pretty much every time she lays down to go to sleep she doesn't even cry. She is so good. Bedtime is still 7:30 and she sleeps straight through till somewhere between 8-8:30 in the morning. And she is becoming a much better napper!
-No more morning bottles for Rylee! A couple weeks ago she decided she didn't want a 6 a.m. bottle anymore!
-She loves the water! I bought a Seven Peaks pass and we will definitely be there a lot this summer. (along with everyone else and their dog)
-She is so BUSY. And I mean BUSY. We tell people she is so busy and their response is, "Yep, babies sure are busy!" No, you don't get it. She is so all over the place nonstop all day long. Up and down the stairs, bouncing, crawling fast everywhere, getting into everything. I (jokingly) tell Kelly I think she has ADHD. haha. Some babies are so relaxed and chill. Rylee - not so much. :)
-She loves having her hair brushed, teeth brushed, and ears cleaned out.
-She waves bye-bye and hi all the time. A couple months ago she did it once just barely but never did it after that. A few weeks ago she did it all on her own and now she does it all the time. It is so cute.
-She points at everything constantly and says, "wassat."
-She loves to lay her head down on her tray while she is eating in her high chair. It is so cute. She'll lay her head down and then sit back up and you ask her, "ohh, are you sleepy?" and she'll lay her head back down.
Ok, that is a really long list. I mainly did it for myself because I will admit I am horrible at writing in her journal. I have been good at writing down dates of EVERYTHING so far but writing about stuff I have been really bad. Hope you enjoyed - if you actually read it.
I love this girl SO MUCH and I really can't imagine life without her in it. I am so blessed she is mine forever!!
