Rylee lately...

So, if I haven't said it lately I absolutely LOVE this age Rylee is in right now!! Yes, she definitely has her 'terrible two' moments but the good moments majorly outweigh the bad ones!! Rylee has such a personality that is bigger than life. She finds joy in the smallest things and is always such a happy girl. She loves copying us right now and is talking up a storm (even though some of what she says is still hard to understand). Right now she is obsessed with Buzz (Toy Story), her babies, Up (Frozen/Olaf), playing in her dress up jewelry, playing with Mali, being outside, swinging, TLG, going bye bye, helping Mommy & Daddy, and puzzles. She is the funniest little kid with the biggest heart. Lately her favorite things to say are: otay (okay), RyRy (what she calls herself and her nickname everyone calls her), Mommy or KK (what her cousins call me), Daddy, eat, again, nack (snack), pickup (when she cleans up), jack (jacket), bobo, be nice (what we talk about a LOT), night night, Mali, Up (what she calls Olaf from Frozen), Mickey/Minnie, Kitty (Monsters Inc), Buzz/Woody (Toy Story-she is obsessed with this movie right now), outside, baby, owww (she is a bit dramatic), wow, woah, "Love you Mommy/Daddy/Mali', 'I want a hug', 'Mali eat", 'Go get it Mali', 'I'm stuck'. There is NEVER a dull moment with this little girl. We are so lucky to call her ours!! Here is the latest with our Rylee girl...
