The Daily Joys (and not-so-joys)

Rylie as a one year old...

It's almost impossible to keep her pinned down in one room, she is all over the place! Especially the spots where you ask her not to go.


She's fascinated with the dog's water bowl, food bowls, dog food... and she also loves feeding them from her high chair, she gets a big kick out of that.

Because of her, I've become an expert cabinet child-proofer.


She'd rather be entertained with a taped up box of tic-tacs, an old remote, measuring cups, or car keys than a cool, expensive toy.



She's learning new habits very easily, the most recent is saying "ahhhhh!" after taking a big sip of liquid (thanks Aunt Laura, haha!)

She's one day going to be a thrill seeker (just like momma, scary), whose going to love rollercoasters, fast cars, jetskis, whatever is fast and fun - she loves being thrown up in the air and "flown" around the house.


She LOVES fruits, especially raspberries! Actually, it's hard to find much that she doesn't like! People in restaurants flip out when they see she loves to suck on lemons and pickles (I wonder who she gets that from!)

I love seeing that smile first thing in the morning... unfortunately it's usually after she stops screaming bloody murder. It's a lovely alarm clock.

She loves the animals so much, it's so cute watching her interact with them. She is still learning to be gentle, but they are so good with her and being very patient!


If there is something in her way, she throws it aside. (Yes, I said throw.)


Singing "Twinkle, twinkle" will usually stop all tears, it especially helps in the car. Although, I do seem to get some strange looks from other drivers.

She's very ticklish, and her mommy never fails to give her at least one good tickle attack a day.

Above all, no matter how much she may drive me crazy at times (or makes me want to cry), God I love her so much. And I cannot imagine life without her.

Miss Stubborn

From day to day, it's a new adventure with this chica. And it seems like all of a sudden things are moving way too fast! One day she's finally crawling, and the next she's pulling herself up and almost cruising around (which has been quite scary for mommy sometimes). One day she's perfectly content with her pureed and convenient baby food, to the next she demands on feeding herself and perfecting her sippy-cup skill. One day she looks at me like I'm crazy when I have the camera in her face, to the next she's smiling at me, like she knows what to do! It's amazing to watch her learn new things, I just wish she would slow down just a little bit... but I know she won't! She's super stubborn and independent (I blame Chris, but he just blames me, haha). She's working on some more teeth, she has her bottom two and top two middle ones. Teething has been fun (can you sense my sarcastic tone?), it wakes her and I up in the middle of the night frequently. She's becoming less and less interested in her toys, and more interested in what's in the cabinets and drawers to play with. It's sometimes very stressful, but always entertaining to see what she does next!

Rylie 10 months :)

It's amazing to watch this little girl grow, and see her personality change from day to day. It's quite an adventure to say the least...
