A Few Pictures For Ya!

mama, dada, and buh bye...

Those are Rylee's first words! Boy is she getting sooo smart! We are getting settled into our new place and Rylee loves having her very own play area. We got her a walk and ride that she loves to push and walk behind all by herself. I am sure in no time that she will be walking on her own. She is pulling herself up onto everything and walking amongst furniture and transferring from furniture to furniture, Mitch and I call it a "FT" (furniture transfer). It's quite comical... "Wow Rylee, that was a big FT, good job!" hehe :) We just love our baby girl to pieces! She has learned what the remote control for the ceiling fan does and she will aim the remote towards the fan and push the buttons and watch the light turn on and off. She has also learned that when we walk in the house into the garage when we get home that we push a button on the wall and the garage door closes, now when we pass the button, she likes to push it herself and then she turns around and watches the garage door close, can I just tell you how stinking cute this is???? I could just eat her up to pieces!!!! She is starting to eat food from out plates now, and eating stage 3 foods, we've introduced meant into her diet and she isn't such a huge fan of it right now, but with baby food, I can't blame her, it smells awful!!! I am going to start planning her first birthday soon, thinking we'll do a lady bug theme!!! we shall see!!!
I promise I'll add some pictures soon, I've been soo busy with my photography and with clients, that it has been hard to post and blog on here sometimes!!!

Rylee's standing!!!!!!

No pictures yet, but my baby girl can stand with no help!!!!!! So crazy for just turning 8 months old, but she has got this balancing thing down quite well! If she realizes that no one is holding on to her and that she is standing all by herself, she tends to get scared and wants the ground for security, but if you distract her with holding onto a toy, she will totally stand! Had her up to a minute standing last night and I swear it was the cutest thing ever!! I don't know why I didn't grab my camera!! I guess I was just enjoying the moment 'being there'. We just rented a house in Clermont after renting out our house in Tampa, so we are sooooooo extremely busy unpacking and moving. Rylee loves her new room and new house but I can tell she is going to miss her Grandpa playing her the Bee Gee's in the morning! We are soo glad to not be staying with family any longer and to have a place of our very own! Rylee has converted to sleeping in her crib soo well, which is soo great considering the first 8 months of her life she has slept with us! I think Mitch and I are having a harder time with her sleeping in her own room, we sort of miss having her there! LOL :) But all in all, it's a great thing!
I promise to work on adding V-day pictures, new house, pics, and other current things! Life passes by soo quickly and blogging is soo hard to do sometimes!
Now that I am thinking about it too, Rylee also can drink from a straw!!!!! She kept watching Mitch and I do it, and so she grabbed for our drink and she literally sucked up the liquid and drank from the straw! I swear she is sooooo smart and picks things up sooo quickly!! It's really cute to see the amazement on her face when she takes a sip and realizes that "Hey, water comes out of this thing when I suck on it", LOL
