PIGTAILS!!!

Brad has gotten Rylee obsessed with the moon, or "boon" as she calls it. He always takes her outside to see it and the other night she was peeking through the blinds saying "boon." I pulled the blinds all the way up so she could enjoy, so cute!

I pull all the kitchen chairs and bar stools into the family room so I can mop. Rylee decided to climb on top of one of the kitchen chairs, on top of her high chair and then sat in it (wish I would have gotten a picture). Brad was watching a movie so he reclined her seat so she could watch it too!

Rylee loves playing with the cups in the pantry. She would get one at a time and set it down and count "2, 3, 6." We're working on that =)

Clapping because she is so proud of her counting skills

We have been walking every morning with this nice cool weather lately, Ry loves it!

Rylee finally has a small hand full of hair I can squeeze into pigtails! This morning she helped me pull up our old/dying flowers to get ready to plant pretty, fall ones. She happened to find a flower to pull and ask me to smell it.

Oh wait here is another one...

Beware!

My little helper

She built this all by herself!

I LOVE this girl!

Pickles & French Fries and Other Randomness

Rylee is so into playing with Ruger these days. She tells him to sit and then tells him "good boy" (sometimes before he even sits down). Here she is telling him to sit, even though he is already sitting/laying down. I love how she holds up her finger when she tells him what to do!

She loves to take his ball...

thorw it and watch him chase it

So proud of her throw!

Her new favorite place is inside her toy box

Last week we met Michelle and Addie at the mall for some shopping and lunch. The girls enjoyed a little cartoon while in Gymboree!

Rylee loves her stories before bedtime!

Guess who can reach the top drawers now! More baby proofing to do!

Rylee loves helping daddy get ready for work in the morning, they are so cute together!

So sweet

Yesterday Rylee and I went to lunch with Chrissy and Berkley at Jason's Deli, Rylee had her first ice cream cone!

I'm going to apologize in advance how annoying I am in these videos, but Ry is just so cute. We were eating lunch today and she had a pickle in one hand and a french fry in the other. She would show me one hand and say "pickle" then show me the other hand and say "french fry." She did this about 5 times, so, of course by the time I got the camera she was done, but I got 2 separate videos of her saying each. Again, after watching these I can't believe I asked her so many times. No wonder she has such a good memory!

Rylee's Many Sounds

Labor Day Weekend & Rylee's Vacation with Maw & Poppie

Brad's birthday was Friday so he took the day off to spend time with us! We went to the mall to have lunch and let Rylee ride the carousel (Brad has never seen her ride in person)! This is Ry before we left. I had to take a picture of her in her wrangler jeans she got for Christmas last year, they're so stinkin cute and fit her perfectly!

Her little butt looked so cute!

Rylee loves ketchup, she did so good having her very own too!

While we were at the mall I wanted to look for a coat for Ry and found the perfect one, I also found this adorable hat too!

After Ry's nap we sang Happy Birthday to Daddy!

Ry's new favorite thing is feeding Ruger at night, it's pretty cute! I fill the cup for her and she carries it to the laundry room and dumps it in his bowl.

I had washed the sheets and was putting them back on the bed and Rylee wanted to help. I kept tangling her up in the fitted sheet and then she would roll around the bed laughing until she got free. We did this for about 30 minutes. I was laughing so hard I was crying, she's so much fun!

Saturday we went to Canton. This was early.... notice there is hardly anyone there yet!

Ry and Maw

Katie, Josh and baby Tucker came over Sunday and spent the night with us, we had so much fun! Rylee loved playing with her future boyfriend =)

We got down Ry's exersaucer for Tucker to play in. Rylee had fun showing him all the fun toys and getting in it herself. This was in the morning, she went and sat in it while it was collapsed.

Awwwwwww!

The rest of these pictures are from Rylee's vacation with her Maw and Poppie while we were in Mexico.
