Happy 20 months to my sweet Rylee Lynn!! I love this stage and her huge personality! It's so hard to believe that in four short months we will have a two-year old! Time seems to be flying by so I'm trying to soak up all the fun with our crazy fun-loving girl. Love you so much!!!
Growth & Development:
- weight- 26 lbs
- Favorite Food: cucumbers, hot dogs, pizza, strawberries, bananas, applesauce, cheese, smoothies, corn, rice, chicken, beans. Still uses the sign language more to tell me when she is hungry or wants a snack!
- Drinks about 21oz of milk a day (three sippy cups of milk a day). As soon as she is done she is quick to hand it to one of us.
- Words: no no, momma, uh oh, go, ewww, da da, woah, baby, step slide, me, Pops, gone (when her food is all gone), bubbles, balloon, KiKi (my sister's dog), shoes, moo, ruff ruff, outside,
- Teeth: Has a total of 14 teeth still
- Sleeping: Naps about 1.5hrs (once a day) and sleeps about 11-12 hours each night!
Favorites:
Rylee loves being outside, running as fast as she can, 'feeding' herself and her baby with the play food/drinks, using a fork/spoon like a big girl, loving on Mali, reading her books (favorites: Goodnight Moon, Baby Faces, Piggies...), balloons, watching Mickey, putting her shoes on, hoarding pacificers, stealing my panties from the drawer and hiding herself and them in the closet behind my clothes, being sung to (nursery rhymes and the Happy Birthday song)...she gets the biggest smile, licking the couch (thinks it is so funny but it's just really weird), reading her books (she likes to pick her favorite book then back herself into your lap to read), mimicing what we do (cleaning, using toenail clippers, petting Mali, giving Mali a bath etc.), throwing things off the couch, playing chase, The Little Gym, and balls.
Firsts/Milestones/Moments to Remember:
- Went to her second wedding in Lumberton (Jessica & Kevin Burks)
- Went to the lake with Kristin, Kynlee, Kate, Tamera, & Debbie
- Celebrated St. Patty's Day in green and went with Daddy to a festival while Mommy was out of town.
- Stayed with Daddy all weekend while Mommy had a girl's weekend trip
- Had ANOTHER ice day!
- Had ANOTHER sick day (vomiting)!
- Has become scared of her shadow LOL. When she sees it she starts fake crying..
- Had her first time out during our visit to the lake. She has gotten pretty good at throwing massive tantrums so time outs have started...
- Has learned to say what a dog and cow says...ruff ruff and moooooo!
- Knows where her eyes, ears, nose, tongue, head, hair, belly, belly button, and toes are and likes to point them out on other people too ;)
- LOVES giving kisses (both closed & open mouthed) and hugs!!
- Starting to show signs of not liking diapers anymore...pulls down her diaper, fights having a diaper change, sits on potty. After reading a lot about potty training they say the best age is 22 months so I'm going to wait another month or so and see how she does. In the meantime, I want to work on her saying tee-tee and poo-poo when she goes so she begins to understand when to go potty.
My pretty girl
Poor Mali.
Love this sweet face
Happy St. Patty's Day!!
First Day of Spring!
