Rylee {14 months)

Happy 14 months to my sweet Rylee Lynn!!
This is such a fun stage right now. It seems as if everyday she is learning new things and her personality is getting bigger and brighter. I love my sweet, funny, smart girl so much! She is the light of my life and is just a ball of joy to be around!

Growth & Development:

• weight- 24 lbs
• Favorite foods: yogurt, eggs, strawberries, grapes, chicken, smoothie drinks, avacado, cucumber, peas, carrots, and any snacks she can get her little hands on.
• Drinks about 21oz of milk a day (sucks it down quick)!
• Words: no no, momma, uh oh, ewww, da da, woah, and a lot of Rylee talk ;)
• Still addicted to her pacifer...we try to only give it to her at nap/bedtime but she can find them anywhere (I think she hides them). Not looking forward to breaking her from them later on..
• Cut another tooth so now she has a total of 8 teeth! Four on the top and four on the bottom. She has also started the terrible habit of grinding..
• Sleeping: Naps once a day for about 1-1.5 hrs and sleeping from about 7:30/8pm-6:30/7am

Favorites:

Rylee loves being super active, running, climbing anything she can, playing outside (all day if she could), playing with Mali (has finally learned how to 'pet' her sweetly, carrying her binkys around, loving on her dolls, getting all her books out to 'read', dancing to DisneyJunior music, stacking toys, bathtime, talking/staring at others (especially kids), getting all the pillows/blankets she can find and play/throw/lay on them, playing in her crib, playing chase, and getting into everything she knows she should NOT be in!

Firsts/Milestones:

• She can now be laid down for a nap/bedtime awake and will fall asleep on her own when we leave the room! Occasionally, for naps we will have to rub her back for a few minutes and then she will fall fast asleep. Major Milestone!!
• Started attending The Little Gym once a week and LOVES it!!
• Began going to the church nursery on Sundays...she did ok (cried some when other kids started crying). Hoping she does better as the weeks go on!
• Turned her car seat around and she is sooo much happier!! Such a BIG girl now :)
• Has started holding my hand<3
• Learned how to climb the slide outside and on the couch by herself :/
• Can dance, smile, give sugars, and shake toys (most of the time) on command!!
• Understands ALOT more these days...if I say go find Daddy or Mali or outside or brush your teeth she knows what/who to look for and where to go!
• No more bottles...YAY!! Rylee now drinks her milk from a sippy cup!
• Met her Great Grandpa Sosbe for the first time
• Gave Mommy her first heart attack when I went to go get her from her nap and found her on the floor NOT in her crib! Thank God she was ok and just had a red mark on her forehead. Her bed is officially lowered as low as it can go...

My little gymnast...Olympics here we come!!

Blowing kisses <3
