Crawling!!
Rylie finally figured out how to get that belly off the floor and crawl on her knees! And both Chris and I got to witness those first few "crawls"! GREAT Saturday! I hope I'm still this happy as I'm chasing her around the house, making sure she's not getting into anything that will hurt her. Time to go baby proof the house. She's almost pulling herself up too - she's getting too big too fast!!

Getting into the groove
We are fully enjoying the nice weather here in Phoenix, as everyone loves to remind us that soon it will be too hot to enjoy being outside! But for now it's a gorgeous 80 degrees and we are loving it! Chris is kicking butt at work, and I've come to the pretty firm decision that as of now, it's best for me to work part-time for my mom and stay home with Rylie. It's so fun this way anyways, and slowly I'm working on my "home-maker" skills - like cooking, which I definitely need more practice! Rylie's second bout of teething seems to be getting better, and lets me have nights of full sleep in between her wakeful nights. Two top teeth are peeking out, but she has yet to let me take a good look, much less a good picture. She's getting better at her army crawl/scooting technique, and surprises us sometimes at where she gets to in the house all by herself. She cracks us up lately at her new habits, like running her hand up and down the back of her head with a confused look on her face, like "What is this stuff on my head?" She's a very independent girl, and will let us know when she wants to do stuff herself, like trying to grab the spoon when I'm feeding her, and boy does she have a good grip!!

Lovin' Life!
Things are going really good here in the Brock house. Chris started work today after a nice month off, and we all have really enjoyed spending time together and goofing off, learning our new city. The weather has been fantasic - even the few rainy days here have been wonderful. It's that perfect time of year when you don't need the A/C or the heater really, it's just right outside. My favorite moment from this week was when Rylie finally said "mama" after months of "dada" and "baba". She is getting to that stage now where anything you touch she wants it (including the keyboard, making typing this while she's on my lap very difficult) and she's also starting to scream when you leave her sight. She still hasn't officially crawled yet, most people tell me to count my blessings and don't rush it because once she starts moving you can't stop her! She's a blast though, we love (almost) every second of it! I had an interview today for a graphic design position, which I'm finding out are pretty scarce around here right now. Although, I can't lie, I've absolutely relished staying at home and working part-time for my mom. It's been nice being with Rylie all day, I missed her so much working full-time - and where else could I take my baby to work with me besides my mom's house? We will see what happens! My goal is to try and get her scrapbook all caught up before I start working (haha, yeah right, I haven't even TOUCHED it yet!) One of the many goals on my list right now, after I get the laundry done, the dishes, clean the house, try and exercise, ugh... the list goes on and on. :)
