Happy Birthday Rylee!

Happy Birthday sweet girl! I cannot believe that you are already THREE years old! Where has the time gone?? Over the last three years you have filled our life with more joy, laughter, and love than I could have ever imagined.

You make each day so fun and always know how to brighten it with your contagious smile and infectious laughter. You are such a little sponge soaking up all the things you learn and hear. You like to repeat everything so Mommy and Daddy have to watch what we say! You have definitely entered the ‘three-nager’ stage keeping us on our toes with your drama, attitude, and always wanting to do everything on your own.

You are such a smart little girl and constantly amaze us with how quickly you learn and pick up on things. You carry on full conversations with us in complete sentences and always say the funniest things. My favorite sayings that I love to hear you say are: 'hurts big bad' - when you get a bobo, 'just junkin' - just joking, 'slow down car baby's sleepin!' - when we are walking or driving and when Rayna is asleep or awake, 'it's not workin' - when something is not working, 'I sy' - I sorry, 'that's my seeeeester' - when anyone gets near your baby sister, 'Baby Rayon Sissy' - Baby Rayna, 'stop or be nice' - what you like to tell Mommy or Daddy all the time when we get on to you, 'what's this nam?' - when you want to know someone or something's name, 'I have no idea', 'I'll be back in a second', 'Ewww...so gross!', 'delicious', 'what', 'Wow! Awesome! So cool!', 'Wait, I'll be back in a second' - always telling us this when she runs off to play, 'So heavy' - when she picks up anything (light or heavy), 'Pwetty Please!' - which is the hardest thing to say no to, 'I help you' or 'I play you' - when she wants to help or have me play with her, 'Mommy Daddy's house' - when we get turn into the neighborhood or pull up into the house she loves announcing where we are, and 'you're my best fwiend' - when you get in trouble you like to rub Mommy's face and say this which makes it hard for me to be upset with you}. You enjoy counting (1-15), working on puzzles, singing (your favorites are the abc's and twinkle twinkle little star), learning colors/shapes, naming animals and their sounds, and reading books.

You are a sassy little thing but oh so sweet. You love giving sugars & hugs and getting them in return. You are Miss Independent and very opinionated. You are one busy little girl always wanting to play, color, run, jump, swim, talk, help, swing, climb, and dance. You are very adventurous and love trying new things. You have no fears (except bugs, vacuum cleaners, and thunder).

You have such a huge heart and care so much about your family, friends, and Mali. You love to cuddle. You love holding our hands. You love to tell Mommy, Daddy, & Rayna that we are your best friends. You have taken on your new role as a big sister so incredibly well. You love your little sister very much and love to treat her like your own personal baby doll (giving her countless amounts of sugars all day long). You are full of life and have the biggest & best personality. You made me a Mommy first and for that I will be forever grateful. Happy Birthday Rylee Lynn!! You may drive us crazy but we are crazy in love with you.
