Rylee turned 10 months on Monday and I can't believe in 2 months our baby girl will be one! We got her a walker for Valentines day because she loves the one at Grammy and Papa's house so much. Our new house has a ton of tile so we figured she would enjoy it. She is so hilarious, she flies and I mean flies around in it. She will get going so fast that she will pick up her feet and slide! She goes backwards, forwards, and turns like a champ. She loves playing hide-and-seek too. I will say, "where's
Rylee," and then hide around a corner. She will come and find me and squeal. I got a good video of her in it and hopefully I can post it soon!
Grammy taught
Rylee to play a toy flute in one day, I call her my genius baby. Well, she doesn't really play it, but she blows in it to make the noise, it's pretty darn cute ( I have a video of that too).
Rylee is so close to walking, she walks all along the tables and sofas in our family room, and pushes her walker all over, and then of course her walker she can sit in. She can be sitting in the middle of the floor and stand straight up without holding anything. I keep trying to get her to take a step, but hasn't yet.
Rylee says: mama,
dada, dog,
ba ba (bottle), and
nie,
nie (night, night). We're working on waving and she does it most of the time when you ask her to.
She is eating ALL foods. She barely eats her baby food anymore! The only thing we have found that she doesn't like it oatmeal, I think she is like her Daddy and has texture issues. She eats pretty much anything you give her but loves: waffles, bananas, chicken, french fries, guacamole, cheese,
broccoli, green beans and even had hamburger the other night for the first time!
Rylee loves music, she will get up on her knees and bounce up and down and clap. She can be playing and music will come on the t.v. and she will stop and look at the t.v. and start bobbing. She loves when I sing to her too, even though I'm not the best. She loves the wheels on the bus and head, shoulders, knees and toes. She also loves the bath song I made up for her,
every time she takes a bath I sing it, her face lights up and she starts splashing around.
It goes like this:
Splish, Splash,
Rylee's taking a bath (do, do , do,)
on a _________ evening/morning
Rub a dub, got toys in the tub
Rylees loves her big girl tub!
Kinda cheesy, I know, but she loves it! Oh, that's another thing, she doesn't use her blow up bath tub that fits inside the tub anymore. She takes a straight big girl bath all on her own.
I think I've blabbed on enough! Hopefully our computer will be fixed sometime this week, I'm getting pretty tired of using Brad's laptop for everything and I'm sure he is too.

Enjoying a Valentine sucker...... thanks Grammy!
Brad met with one of his old professors at North Texas about speaking to a business class and doing some mentor type stuff. I told him to get Rylee a UNT souvenir since you can't get them anywhere besides North Texas. I guess North Texas isn't as cool as Tech and A&M, but whatever. The smallest size they had besides newborn was 2T. Brad was so cute, he sent me an email asking what a 2T was. She has some room to grow, that's for sure!
I love giving her a Mohawk after her bath, Brad hates it and always pushes it down.
