Happy 19 months to my sweet Rylee Lynn!! Your smile is contagious and you have the sweetest/funniest personality. I love you more than you will ever know.

  • Sleeping: Naps about 2hrs (once a day) and sleeps about 11-12 hours each night!
Favorites:
Rylee loves being the center of attention at The Little Gym, climbing everything she can in our house, reading books/sitting with Mommy to read books, loving on Mali, playing/carrying/sleeping with her babies, stealing our phones to play with, climbing EVERYTHING imaginable (including her toy stroller/our couch/and our coffee table/outside slide), playing outside, shutting (aka slamming) ALL doors, playing games with her paci (hiding it in her shirt or in our hands or throwing it), playing with her shoes (loves them), and being a big girl when she eats and using her fork!

Firsts/Milestones:
  • Right after she turned 18 months Rylee has gotten SOOOO much better at being dropped off in the nursery at the YMCA. She doesn't cry much anymore and instead plays with the toys and is happy when I pick her up :)
  • Had another Texas 'snow day' even though there was no snow but we did get ice!
  • Got another double ear infection which resulted in lots of vomiting and dehydration
  • Knows where her nose is and loves pointing to other people's noses while saying NOSE!
  • Obsessed with balloons and points to them everywhere saying BALLOON!
  • Moved up to the Beast class at The Little Gym with Ms. Pat!
  • Went to Monkey Joes for the first time!
  • Got a bad case of hives from a viral infection (ear infections). The hives continued to spread getting worse and worse causing bruising and swelling. She was in so much pain that she had a hard time standing/walking. After several doctor visits we ended up taking her to the ER where she had to get an IV, a steroid shot, bloodwork, and a urine sample which all came back fine. The doctor suggested that she be transferred by ambulance to Texas Children's where a specialists could look at her. After waiting a few hours at TCH ER she was finally admitted so they could watch the spreading of the hives, swelling, and bruising overnight. With all the medication she finally started looking better and feeling back to herself. She was released the next day to come home and continue her meds.
