Standing alone baby

Today - just a little bit ago- Rylee - you were leaving against the laundry basket then let go and stood up with your fists clenched.  Just so happens that you were trying to poop when you did it but this was the first time you did this on your how without someone placing you there.

Rylee is 9 months old

Oh my sweet baby.  Where has the time gone!? So many things this past month.

Pulled to stand

Crawling 

Stepping between toy and couch

Cutting a tooth

Standing in the pack n play

Feeding yourself: bread, cheese, ham, turkey, rice, cherrios, chicken, bananas, pancakes, pulled pork

So much talking- dadadadada

Raspberries

Kicking oh the kicking!

Always moving!!

Smiley happy girl

So many giggles and cackles

Super duper distracted girl.  Think you got this from mommy

On 7/25 you weighed 16.8 lbs on the Florida bathroom scale

Lily is toothless once again

Last night at Grammies Lily pulled out her top tooth!  It has been loose for a couple weeks now.  The other one isn't far behind! 

Love my Charlee

So this morning you were telling a story about how you found a bug on the Dora cup and you said you didn't kill it because you wanted it to open the door and leave by itself.  Then you said "and then I was like..." And went on to say that you told Lily about the bug and that she didn't care.

Then you said " so Mommy, how did you sleep?"

You are growing way too fast!

Crawling and pulling up

Rylee- about a week ago last Friday you pulled up to a stand on your daddy then did it again yesterday on your zoo toy!  And if it's possible you officially crawled towards your daddy's phone on the floor.  It's like a scoot crawl but you got there.  So proud of my big girl!

You have also been found sitting up in your bed when we come in to get you for about a week now.

Rylee 6 months

Mommy can't sleep so I will post.

Rylee at 6 months and 4 days we gave you green beans and you rolled for the first time from back to tummy just for your daddy.

You weigh 14 lbs 2 oz and are 25.5 inches tall.

Now you roll a lot and are no longer swaddled 

Size 2 diapers

6-9m clothes but some 3-6m

Eating carrots, cereal, green beans and peas

Lily is 6

Well I forgot to do this on your birthday but here it goes.

At 6 you are becoming more and more helpful around the house by unloading and loading the dishwasher with little help.  Then you started your own load of laundry this week so for your birthday we got you a chore chart and you have enjoyed putting magnets on the things you complete.

Writing stories

Reading anything and any word

All day kindergarten

Strawberry milk at school

Cute short curly hair

Drawing and coloring

Playing outside

Making Rylee laugh

Charlee the peer model

Found out Monday that miss charlee barley is going to be a peer model this fall! So proud of you charlee and the example you will show other kids.  You are my spunky little spit fire and I love your independence and sassiness.

Lily helps and Rylee's free

Oh my sweet Lily.  Lately you have been wanting to help more around the house so the last week or so you have started watering Mommys plants outside and then asking about laundry.  So tonite after dinner I had you unload the dish washer and load it.  You put all the silverware away and most of the cups and bowls.  I was so proud of you.  Then at bath time we turned your bath into a shower and I gave you shampoo and soap and you took a shower.  You are growing up too fast!!!

Rylee you haven't been sleeping all that great lately- keing mommy up at nite.  So tonite I swaddled you but left your arms out.  So far I have only gone in there once and you were snuggling your taggy blanket - so cute. Hopefully this will make you happier at nite.  Now if you could just find your own paci at nite.

Rylee rolls!

Oh my sweet girl.  Glad you are taking your time with your milestones so I get to enjoy you being little longer.  This past Wednesday you finally rolled over all by your self!  And I made you do it twice to make sure it wasn't an accidental roll :-)

Wed. 4/2 - rolled from tummy to back - the other way is not far behind.  We are working on sitting too!

Your 1st cereal you took great from your daddy a week ago this morning on 3/29 - and have since been feed by your sisters.  They love to feed you!

Rylee 5 months

Well we were in Florida and driving back the day you turned 5 months.  You can roll over from tummy to back when placed right on your hands but it appears you may roll over the other way now.

Still size 2 diapers

3-6 month clothes

Size 2 shoes

Giggles outloud at Lily

Started using the upright bouncer and loves to stand to see everything

Grabbing and playing with toys better now

Well miss Rylee you are 4 months old now and so sweet.  You smile and laugh so big!  You love to lay on the floor and kick and very recently started grabbing toys hanging above you on your mat and in your bouncer.  You talk so much now and just love to hear your own voice.  You can wear a pony tail in your hair now.  You are such a joy and so easy going.  You sleep so well at night most nights and take 2 naps most days.  You weigh 12 lbs 6 oz 14% and are 23 inches long 4% and your head is in the 52nd %.  You wear size 2 diapers and pretty much only wear 3-6 month clothes now.
