Bye Bye Binkie!

Rylie hasn't had her binkie (pacifier) all week! She hasn't even looked for it. She was only using it at nap time & bed time but now she falls asleep without it. This was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be :)
My little girl is growing up!

I thought Rylie was finished climbing on everything, I was wrong. I caught her doing this last week! She has now climbed to the top of her book shelf, crazy girl!!!

GG's 80th Birthday

We went to Henderson Nevada over the weekend to celebrate Kyle's Grandma's 80th birthday. She has 17 GREAT Grandchildren, they call her "GG" (short for Great Grandma).  We threw her a party at The American Legion Hall, everyone had a great time. Rylie had fun swimming in the pool at the hotel and playing with her cousins.
Kyle's Grandma, Marlene, is such a special lady. It was so nice to spend the evening celebrating her and what she means to everyone.

21 months

Well...our little girl is 21 months old today. Only 3 more months until her second birthday. I can't believe it! Where does the time go?
Rylie loves going to the park, playing in the backyard, coloring, playing with play-doh, dressing & undressing herself, taking care of her baby dolls, playing in Daddy's truck, talking on the phone, playing with cameras & computers, teasing the animals, eating go-gurts, playing in cupboards, taking baths, playing dress up, and hanging out with Mommy & Daddy.
She's still wearing 12 to 18 months in clothes, a size 5 in shoes and a 3 in diapers. She knows her eyes, nose, hair, mouth, ears, belly button, feet, hands, butt, tongue, and toes. When you ask her where her boobies are she points to her birth mark on her side hahahaha too funny! She says "thank you", "what's that", and "here you go" now. She understands everything you ask her or tell her. She loves to brush her teeth and pretends to put make up on (she watches me like a hawk when I get ready in the morning).
She's starting to do the motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider" when we sing it (so cute!). Her favorite cartoons are Yo Gabba Gabba, Olivia, Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Fresh Beat Band, and Wow Wow Wubbzy. She loves to dance to music and sing songs. She's growing up so fast and amazes us everyday, she has really developed her own personality and independence. We can't wait to see what she does next!

just playin'

riding the cow that her Great Papa Stew made
 
Rylie loves playing with her babies!

I love that Rylie likes to play with all of her toys, especially baby dolls. She is also getting into dress up, she loves shoes! We have started coloring and playing with play-doh on a daily basis, she does really well. We are still enjoying the warm summer days playing outside in the pool & sandbox. I am very lucky that I get to spend my days playing with my girl!

close ups

When I try to take Rylie's picture she has to come right up to the lens now hahaha these are some of the "close ups" I got the other day...

popsicles n cousins

Nothin' like having a popsicle on a hot summer day with your cousins!
Rylie is actually eating a frozen go-gurt , she LOVES those things! She'd eat them for breakfast, lunch & dinner if I let her (I guess they are better than a real popsicle or ice cream)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!

Today is Kyle's 33rd birthday. We celebrated his birthday with his family last Thursday because he had to work tonight. When he got home from work this morning he opened presents and then we went out to breakfast. We also went and got frozen yogurt this afternoon. It was a nice quiet birthday, just the 3 of us...

"Happy Birthday to the best husband & Daddy in the whole world! We love you very much!"

New camera!

I took my old camera (Nikon D40) in to be repaired on June 27th (it was 4 years old and I use it everyday. The flash was broken, it needed to be cleaned, and my telephoto lens wasn't working) it was supposed to be done by July 9th. Well the 9th came and went and no word on my camera, so I called and they me put on hold for 40 minutes. I ended up going to the store and speaking with someone, they said if my camera wasn't finished within 45 days they would give me a credit towards a new one! Well apparently they couldn't fix my camera within the 45 days so they were going to give me a new camera!. I got a brand new Nikon D3100 and telephoto lens.  It's a really nice camera, it even takes video! I'm so excited!
