A Rylee Update

Rylee's 15 month check up was a couple of weeks ago. I said that I would win the contest with Brad on who would be closest on her weight, and I did! Rylee weighed 23 lbs and 2 oz. (50th percentile), my guess was 23 lbs. and Brad's was 25 lbs. She was 32.75 inches tall (95th percentile)!


Rylee amazes me everyday, she is so curious and carefree! Here are some things she is doing:

  • Eats pretty much everything I give her and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES vegetables. I haven't found one she won't eat, even lima beans and brussel sprouts! Unfortunately Rylee has gotten my sweet tooth too, she loves sweets!
  • Loves to dance. Any sort of beat or music that she hears, she starts bobbing her head and shaking her booty. She gets the biggest grin on her face too.
  • Steps in and out of her shorts. When taking her shorts/skirt off, she says, "step" and steps right out of them. She does the same thing when putting them on, she will hold onto my arms and step in, so smart I think!
  • Knows shapes. She can say circle and square and can find them on her puzzle or cookie sorter.
  • Knows the color blue and green.
  • LOVES shoes! Anytime Brad or I's shoes are out she constantly puts them on and walks around. She also goes into our closest and pulls down all the shoes she can reach off the shelves.
  • LOVES to climb, anything not on the ground, she's on it. Many times I hear her say, "get down," while she is climbing, because that is what I am constantly saying to her, or she says, "sit down," if she stands in her high chair or on couch.
  • Has really started playing with Ruger, it's the cutest thing! She climbs all over him, teases him with toys so he will chase her and gives him kisses.
  • Loves to be scared. We will chase each other around the kitchen and hallway because it makes a big circle. I always trick her and say, "boo." She jumps and starts laughing and signs for more.
  • Loves to blow kisses and give kisses.
  • Still LOVES the bath, and now even the shower!
  • Loves to take things she knows she's not supposed to (i.e. remote, cell phone) look back at me, smile, and starts to run, then looks back to see if I'm going to chase her. It's pretty cute and gets me every time!
  • Her new favorite thing is playing video games with daddy. She has her own controller (w/o batteries) and she sits on the couch right next to him.

I'm sure there are many more things, but all I can think of at the moment. We are off to Mexico tomorrow and I have been crying on and off all day. I'm going to miss Rylee soooooo much! I know she is in good hands and is going to have so much fun, but it still so hard!

And now for the best part of my post, pictures!

Rylee can finally reach the buttons on her microwave! I swear she stood here for 20 minutes pressing the buttons and listening to all the different sounds it made.

She can now reach door knobs too..... yikes! Luckily she hasn't figured out how to open them yet!

Watching morning cartoons with Pink Dog and Z

Last weekend we went over to Aunt Diane's house to celebrate Grandma Truncali's 89th birthday. It was so fun visiting with the whole family!

Doesn't she look great for 7?!
