More of the girls

Rylee is talking more and more everyday, it seems she picks up at least 1-3 words a day now. I can't even remember all of her vocabulary now, so she is really talking. She is also starting to potty train all on her own. What a chore that is! She is yet to actually 'pee' on the potty, but she asks 24/7 to go pee pee on the poddy. We always sit her on it and encourage her when she asks, but we haven't pushed her, she's doing it all on her own. She loves to flush the toilet and waves "bye" to the pee pee. It's too cute. I guess its time for us to watch the potty training video to see what we need to do, and to buy her a potty seat. I bet soon my little girl will be going potty all by herself and she will truly be my big girl. She's only 17 months too, I'm so proud of her!
Haylee is doing great, growing faster than ever and it makes me sad... They don't stay "babies" long enough and I feel like it is flying by. She holds her head up very well now and loves to be on her tummy. She's been having the hardest time pooping now, she only goes once every 2-3 days. We started giving her prune juice per the Dr's orders, we'll see how that goes. She still spits up a lot too and I think she has some bad reflux, but she's still gaining weight and the Dr doesn't seem concerned, so I'm going to continue to watch that.... I may need to get a second opinion.
Haylee really has taken on her own looks, at first, I thought she was the spitting image of her sister, but she has changed so much. She is such a beautiful little girl! Mitch and I are really going to be introuble when the two of them become teenagers! :)

and what's a post without pictures? Here are some recent ones

Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. Rylee was old enough to 'grasp' the concept and she had a ball! Rylee was a cowgirl and Haylee was her baby cow. Rylee's costume was borrowed and made from Miss Sara. We bought the bandana and hat to match. She got soo many compliments and was such a cute little cowgirl. Haylee was the cutest cow ever too!
We decided to stay home and trick or treat around our neighborhood. When we went to the first house, Rylee was shy and scared and we thought "oh great, this isn't going to work", but once they dropped candy into her basket... she was All About It!!! and was fine from that moment on. Rylee wouldn't say trick or treat, or thank you, but we did get her to say "bye' to the people and we said thank you in her place. Rylee absolutely LOVED her bucket, and she wouldn't let you hold it for anything. Even when it started getting super heavy, she was so adament not to put it down or to let you hold it for her. She would stop along the way and try to eat her candy, but overall she did so great!
Some of the homes were decorated with lights and blow up pumpkins, Rylee loved that soo much, almost made it impossible to get her to the doors because she just wanted to stare at the decorations. I know that Christmas is going to be soo exciting this year!
