It's "SNOW' or wait... is that 'soap'?????

Gearing up for the Holidays, we took Rylee to see the 'snow' at Celebration with the Smith family (now if only I was as smart and cool as Kristi, I would have provided a link to her page, but I would have to research how to do that so for now I will tell you that you can see her page by going to my favorite blogs titled "My Yummies and Me" - love ya Kristi!! LOL) Anyhow, Rylee was in awe over the snow pouring out from the sky and she was just a staring at it and reaching up for it! She enjoyed standing in the snow with daddy too!! It was soo much fun to see William sooo excited over it too and I of course witnessed it all behind my lens (as Mitch would say) LOL

Goodness, it's been forever!!!

So many milestones have been reached and I have been soo bad about uploading and posting!! Rylee is still the most happiest content baby. She is a roley poley and you can set her down and in no time she will be across the room. She rolled over from tummy back to her back on Daddy's birthday so that is something we will always remember!!! Rylee is also eating baby food now, three times a day! She starts of with rice cereal or oatmeal in the morning, and then veges or fruits for lunch and dinner. She LOVES carrots, along with others! She is such a good eater!! Rylee is starting to show signs of crawling now too!!
She was baptized on November 11th. We had a nice party afterwards with friends and family. I will have to hunt down some pictures to post later! Her dress was sooo cute and the ceremony was so nice! Her godparents are Uncle Mike and Aunt Joanne Robertson.
It's the holiday season now! We hosted Tday at our home in Valrico... it was a smaller crowd than usual. We were missing 8 of our family members whom weren't able to make it, but it was Rylee's first Tday and she had sweet potatoes! :) I will also have to hunt down some pictures to post later for that too!!!
I am just about finished with our Christmas cards this year!!! I am soo excited for Rylee's first Christmas!!! and excited to share these pictures with everyone!!! I also had Kristi take our family pictures together!! They are fabulous! Thank you Kristi!!
We took Rylee to see Santa Claus!! (got to scan that picture too!) She just LOVED him!!! She would just stare up at him and smile. We got a great picture! We weren't planning on doing it that day, we were shopping at the mall and Santa was there... well we bought her an outfit and went :) hehe!! I would like to do it again, maybe at the mall of millenia but we'll see!

A picture filled weekend: A cabbage patch baby, railroad tracks, and Halloween costume, and more to come...

My Latest Fashion.....

Rylee just loves to be carried in a sling and momma loves it too! It really comes in handy when Rylee wants to be close and momma has to vacuum! Thank you to my Aunt Roni for this awesome gift!!! :)
I have sooo soo many pictures to add but it seems that any time I sit down on the computer to do something I get hollered at by everyone because they say I am on the computer too much.... well how else am I suppose to get this done!! Rylee's costume finally arrived yesterday and we quickly put it on her.... it is soooooooooooooo adorable!! can't wait to do pictures in it!

Growing Up Way Too Fast!!

Well, just as we discovered that Rylee was getting her first tooth we realized that she was also getting her second!!!!! Both of them are on the bottom! She is also starting to sit up very well all by herself, now she is not 100% and will eventually tumble over, but she is sitting up sooo very well... I was able to get some gorgeous pictures this weekend of her sitting up outside on her colorful blanket!! She is also big enough now to play in the jumperoo and the excer-saucer! She absolutely LOVES them!!! She actually cried once this weekend because we took her out of it and she wanted back in it, LOL!!!! We went and visited the Folckemer's this weekend too and we took a lot of pictures so I will have to get them uploaded! Rylee still loves the water and loves to swim! Her MIMI got her a new cute bathing suit too!! We are also trying to get Rylee use to wearing shoes. I don't think she's crazy about having them on her feet so I figure if we introduce it a little at a time, she'll soon become fond of them!! LOL
We're still waiting for her Halloween costume to arrive but Rylee is going to be.... (drum roll please).... a BUTTERFLY for Halloween!! Trust me, I'll post pics once the costume arrives :)
