Pictures Galore

New news.... Rylee has started taking some steps! Yesterday she took four steps, the most so far! I think she will be walking in no time.
Grammy took this picture of Rylee watching t.v. She looks like she's having a little slumber party, so cute!

Rylee can sometimes have a nice screaming match in the car if she's tired, hungry or just done being in the car. The only thing that calms her down is listening to the ring tones I've downloaded on my phone. Don't know how it's much different than listening to the radio, but it is. I guess she likes holding it, I told Brad she needs her own little baby iPod. You can pretty much guess what his response was...

I think my flash was a little too bright...

Playing at home

Grrrrrrrrrr....

This is Rylee attacking me while I'm trying to take her picture, love it!

This picture cracks me up every time! One of my sweet parents at school got this hat for Rylee from a boutique she works at. I was trying to take a picture to send to her.

This was the next morning on the way to Grammy and Papa's house, a little more serious.

Check out my homeless baby. Ry's new name is Tasmanian Devil. She has gone through so many pairs of p.j.'s in her walker, she' s a little maniac in that thing. Grammy bought her slippers to wear over her p.j.'s to hopefully help them last a little longer :)


Genius baby ;)

Being silly while Grammy was feeding her some lunch.

Heading to the park with E and Berk

We ate breakfast outside on Saturday since it was so nice out, Rylee enjoyed it!

Rylee's new favorite food... black beans. Check out her Popeye face, maybe she be eating spinach.

Love this face!

Getting ready to go see baby Tucker, Rylee's future boyfriend (Daddy doesn't like when I say that).

Hello baby Tuck!

Tucker is such an adorable baby, and so tiny. Crazy to think Rylee wasn't much bigger than that 10 months ago :(
Enjoying the nice spring weather, hope it stays around!

Silly girl!

Valentines Day



Cutie Pie!

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!
This is one of her new faces, she scrunches up her face, it's pretty cute!


I love giving her a Mohawk after her bath, Brad hates it and always pushes it down.




Read below for an earlier post.... a Rylee update!

10 Months Old.

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.

Happy Valentines Day

Many of you have seen these adorable pics of Ry's V-day shoot, but I couldn't resist posting them, especially on such a fantastic holiday!
We finally moved into our house and are completely unpacked inside. We went today and got the last of our things, which was garage stuff and things to go up into the attic, so the rest is Brad's job :) Thank you to our awesome family who helped us move and unpack, we would still be unpacking if it weren't for you!! The snow day Friday definitely helped too I might add!

We finally got our t.v. and internet set up today, but our computer is still not fixed :( It is driving me crazy, I am way overdue on posting pictures of my sweet munchkin! Rylee has been sooooo good with the whole moving transition and is enjoying all the extra space to play! She is getting so big and will be 10 months on Monday! I will have to pick a couple (very hard for me) updated pictures to share. I have taken so many pictures, and have not been able to download them.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend, Happy Valentines Day!!!

Beautiful Blogger Award

My sweet friend Michelle gave me this award. I am supoosed to share 7 things you may or may not know about me.


#1 I hate not having a computer, I feel so lost without one! Our computer got a virus and I have not been able to update my blog, stalk people on face book, or dilly dadle on fun websites in search of cute baby stuff. Even though we paid $70 for a virus protection program, we still got one and now our computer will not even turn on. All I have is Brad's laptop and it's just not the same. I am having to do this at work and it has taken me all week, since I can only work on it during my breaks. Getting the computer fixed is not a top priority with everything else we have going on right now.

Enough about that...

#2 I have the world's largest sweet tooth! It is so hard for me to turn down sweets, especially if it is chocolate. I don't buy fun cakes, brownies or ice cream. If I did buy it, I would eat it all by myself. I call it the "Stutler gene." I could eat a whole cake or pan of brownies in one sitting, not kidding! When I was pregnant with Rylee I would eat 2 peanut butter cups almost every night, not pieces, not miniatures, peanut butter cups. Ohhhh.... how they just melt in your mouth. I told myself it was o.k. b/c I was prego and was still working out up until the week I had her, but can't do that anymore ;(

#3 I absolutely love Target. I will find any excuse to go there. Such cute stuff and the best prices! It's on the way no matter where I am going!

#4 I can not stand boogers! I am always picking Rylee's nose, this may sound gross, but I can not stand a yucky nose. Brad makes fun of me and thinks it's so gross, but who else is going to do it, she can't pick it herself and you have to keep that adorable face nice and clean!

#5 I am a neat freak! Right now our house is a disaster and it is absolutely driving me nuts. I was cleaning this weekend and Brad was like "Why bother, it's just a rental." Ha.. Ha.. not yet babe! Even though there are boxes everywhere, I still I had to clean.

#6 I have a wonderful family! I am so lucky to have both Brad's parents, my parents, brother and sister within a 20-30 minute radius. We are all so close and have so much fun with one another. I know a lot of people don't have this luxury so it makes me feel very fortunate! Nothing is better than spending time with the ones you love and care about.

#7 Last , but not least I have the best husband and daughter ever! I am so lucky to have married my best friend. I can always count on him and know that he will love me forever, no matter what. We have the best time doing absolutely nothing and he is such a great daddy. The way he lights up while playing with Rylee is the cutest thing I have ever seen! He keeps me sane when I feel like going crazy, makes me feel beautiful when I may not think so, and provides for our family so that I am able to stay home with our beautiful daughter and not miss another moment.

Rylee is the happiest, sweetest, most beautiful baby girl I could have ever asked for. She has truly changed my life, in ways I never thought possible. Seeing that sweet smiley face every morning and hearing her precious giggle is the best thing ever! Watching her grow and change is so exciting, but scary all at the same time. I want her to stay her sweet innocent self forever, but at the same time I am excited to see what the future holds. Sounds cheesy, but true!

Now, I am supposed to choose 7 people for this same award. I only have six since some of the ones I would have chosen have already won an award, so it will have to do.

The winners are:

1. The Pomeroy Family
2. The Sperling Family
3. The Rubner Family
4. The Ludlow Family
5. The Lusha Family
6. The Soladay Family
