Yay For Long Weekends!

We have had such an amazing weekend, nothing special besides hangin with my baby girl and hubby for 4 days straight! I took half a day Friday because I was miserable and wanted to make sure I got into the doctor before the long weekend. Turns out it was just a sinus infection ;) It has been so nice enjoying Rylee from the time she gets up in the morning till going to bed at night! She is getting so big so fast, it seems she is changing every day. She loves being outside and her new favorite thing is grabbing her little piggies. She will put anything in her mouth that she can get her hands on and we discovered her first tooth earlier this week (bottom tooth)! We ran around a lot this weekend and Rylee was so good. She just hung out in her car seat and took it all in, never fussed or anything! I love my sweet girl!

Last weekend we took a lot of walks since the weather was so nice, can't wait till it cools down for good, Rylee loves going for walks!

We went to Brad's parents last weekend to celebrate his 28th birthday. We fried catfish, oysters, BBQ crab and crawfish, yum! Here Rylee is with Poppie waiting for the fryer to heat up.

Mommy's favorite time, nap time with Rylee!

Here's Rylee ready for another walk!

Playing with her piggies!


She loves her exersaucer, she will play in it forever, spinning all around and playing with all the fun toys!


Mommy cut her hair off!

Sweet girl!


No more swaddle, yay! She loves her new potato sacks mommy and daddy bought her!

Waiting for Grammy and Papa to come over for dinner!


Rylee loves her Papa!

Her Grammy too!

The Cutest Giggle Caught On Video

Rylee has giggled a couple of times, but of course I am never able to catch it. Tonight Brad was playing with her and she was giggling for like 5 minutes straight. The cutest thing ever (how many times have I said that?)!

Enjoying her cereal!

Do you think she likes her jumparoo?

This is going to have to be my screen saver at work!

Where To Start ....

Sorry it has been so long, it's been a busy week with going back to work and still trying to spend every last moment with the Rylee boo until she goes to bed at night. I gave mom the camera to take pictures during the day and then Brad forgot to take it when he picked her up Friday. We already had a crazy weekend and could not take any pictures. Dad brought the camera by after church, so don't be surprised if there is another post soon with more pictures. You can never have to many pictures of the sweetest, cutest baby in the world!

Rylee turned 4 months last Saturday the 15th! I can't believe how much she is changing every day, it makes me sad how fast it goes by. The doctor did all these little tests with her and said she could not believe how strong she is and said that she looks great! She measured 26 in. (94th percentile) and weighed 13 lbs. 15 oz. (55th percentile). The doctor also said we could start rice cereal at any time. We tried it for the first time last night and she loved it! I think she especially liked it because she got to sit in her new high chair.

Rylee also had her first week with Grammy. She did great, better than Mommy did. I cried everyday, but it got a little easier every day. I gave mom my camera to take pictures of Rylee while I was at work, and boy did she take some pictures. At first she took more videos than pictures before figuring out how to use it correctly (it can be tricky). I didn't mind though because I got to see my baby girl in action. I am so thankful to have someone who will take care of my little munchkin who loves and cares for her so much, thank you mom!

It feels like Rylee has already changed so much in just a week. She reaches for EVERYTHING, and then it goes directly in her mouth. She loves to suck and chew on her hands, and she has been gagging herself quite a bit too. She will stick her hands so far in her mouth that she gags, but then she continues to do it, silly girl.

She plays so good in her exersaucer too. She plays with all of the toys and can turn all the way around in it. Brad put her jumparoo together yesterday and she loves it too. She hasn't quite figured out how to actually jump yet, but I'm sure it will be soon. I help her by grabbing her feet and making her jump, she thinks it is so funny!

She been rolling over a lot just this week from her tummy to her back and from her back to her tummy too!

We took a walk last night and Rylee was able to finally sit up like a big girl and face out. We had her all strapped in to keep her from flopping over and she thought she was so big. She loved our walk and was just looking at everything, cutest thing ever!

Sweet baby girl before going shopping with Mommy.

This is an outfit Aunt Chrissy had made for her, pretty darn cute!

Had to get the back view too!

Rylee does so good with tummy time now!

Happy 4 months to me!

Grammy took this picture of Rylee playing in her bumbo seat!

Such a cutie ;)

Grammy took this picture of Rylee laying on the bed at her house, so sweet!

So Much To Share, So Little Time!

Look at this sweet face, I love her so much.

This is Rylee's new favorite way to watch t.v.

Oh, and this way too!

Getting ready for another fun day in the sun!




We had a play date with cousin Elliott and Berkley at my parent's house. Their neighbors let us swim in their awesome pool!


Rylee hanging out in her float!

We went over to Brad's parent's house Friday night and stayed the night. Pops hurt his hand so we went over to help out with some things around the house. Our BF Josh and Katie came over and had dinner with us and hung out for a bit. Rylee loves them!

Pops and Mom were at a gun show a couple of weeks ago selling some of his awesome knives and couldn't resist buying Rylee her first gun, a pink BB gun that is!

Another outfit from Poppie and Maw. It says, My First Game Call!

We went over to our Aunt Diane's house to celebrate Grandma's 88th Birthday. Rylee loves her Grandma Truncali!

This is Rylee with her cousin Cora. Rylee is only two weeks older than Cora and they are about the same size. They were so cute together!

Can't Keep Up

Right after I posted, Brad says, "Amanda come in here and look at Rylee." Of course I grabbed my camera. Again, he had a bright idea! He used her boppy pillow from her tummy time mat to help keep her a little more stable in her exersaucer. Poor kid didn't even know where to start. I think she will be entertained for hours, this things has so many things on it, probably a little too much. It took 12 AAA batteries if that tells you anything.

Just Hangin Out

We've been pretty lazy lately, just hangin out around the house all week. Rylee giggled for the first time last night and luckily Brad was home and saw/heard it too. Talk about the cutest sound you've ever heard, besides her little squeals and jibber jabber! She is getting so close to rolling over, I swear it will be any day now (hopefully). She manages to do a full circle on her back under her Einstein gym, it's hilarious. She throws her self back and fourth from one side to the next.

She is not quite ready yet for her exersaucer, so below is Brad's invention for entertainment until then.

Sunday we went over to my parent's house to celebrate Elliott's B-day (she turned 4 on Monday) and J's B-day (he will be 25 on Aug. 6th). It is always nice to get the whole family together. Still waiting for Chrissy to email me the pics I took on her camera, C'mon!

This was the best I could get of all three of the little rascals together :)


Look at those baby blues!
Watching t.v. with Daddy, the girl loves to watch t.v.! She watches it like she really knows what's going on, it's so cute!


Here is Rylee in her new bouncy seat that matches her swing. She loves it and says it is especially comfy. I told Brad I wish they had one in adult sizes.

Having a staring contest with the dragonfly!




She is getting so good at grasping her toys too!

Especially sweet

Today we went up to Brad's office for everyone to meet her. It's so adorable how he gushes over her to everyone up there. Then he took us to Brio for lunch, yummy!
