Decorating and meeting Dayla

A friend of mine that I work with had a baby a month or so ago. Rylee and I just got the chance to go and meet her. Rylee loved the baby and wanted to hold her about the whole time we were there. I put a pillow and let the baby lay in her lap that way. Here is a picture of Rylee and Dayla.



Then yesterday we got out the Halloween decorations. Rylee is really big on helping and loved putting up some of the decorations with me. She was such a good helper too!

Wagon Ride

I'm a little far behind in posting...first Rylee went to her 18month appointment. She is 25 lbs and 3 oz. and 32.5 in tall. Then the next day she had an unrelated issue with her neck where she couldnt' move it at all. After a round of antibiotics we are all better! So things have been busy around here.

It is still really pretty here in the afternoons and my mom took Rylee on a wagon ride today. Here are some of the pictures...












Her hair is at a really funny stage and I'm not sure what to do with it...grow it out or get it cut??

Badin Lake

This past weekend we got the chance to hang out at the Crouse family lake house. This was Rylee's first experience with the lake and she seemed to really enjoy it (although she kept calling it a pool). Here are some pictures from the day

We really had a great time and can't wait to go back. Thank you Crouses for inviting us and letting us come!

More cute pictures

I worked alot this past week so my mom had Rylee quite a bit. Here are some of the fun things that Rylee did this week


Watering the plants


Playing dress up


Playing with her toys


and just generally being cute!



Remember this picture

That's Rylee playing with her "shone" or as we like to call it her music phone (it isn't even a phone so we're not really sure where she got that from.) Anyways I got an email yesterday from my mom about it. The title of the email was CALL 911! Here is the rest of the email...

TRAGADY



TODAY AT NANA'S THERE WAS A TRAAAGAAADY. THE BATTERIES FROM THE SHONE(MUSIC PHONE) DIED. THEY ARE AAA AND NANA DOESN'T HAVE ANY. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY ROAD TRIP.

LOVE YOU
RYLEE


Mom said Rylee about lost it for a good while after the batteries died. Do you think she is spoiled at all??

Cooler Weather

This week we are having a bit of a cold front come through. Yesterday the temperature stayed in the 60's until the mid afternoon. Rylee and I love that weather! It makes it so much better to play outside. We got out and went for a stroller ride. She also got to wear a new outfit since it was a little bit cooler. They were supposed to be capris but I laughed a little because they come down to almost her ankles and just look like high-waters instead. I'm sure she'll grow into them though!
