Rayna {13 months}

At 13 months Rayna is at such a fun age! She is always on the go and practically running everywhere chasing after big sis. She does NOT ever sit still and has NO stranger danger (this can be both a good & bad thing). She is so funny and always smiling. With each day that passes she is looking and reminding me more & more of Rylee. So many similarities but definitely some differences too.

Measurements: You are still wearing size 3 diapers and size 4 nighttime diapers. You are wearing 12 and 12-18 month clothes.  

Sleeping: Sleeping 12 hours at night and napping once a day in the afternoon. 

Eating: Now eating three 6 oz bottles (feeding herself two of them a day) and breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks with everyone else. You are basically just eating table foods now! 

Total teeth: Seven - she has been teething like crazy!!!

New Tricks/Activities/Accomplishments: 

• Finally learned how to drink from a sippy cup but will NOT drink milk from it yet. 
• Started jumping
• Started giving kisses when asked for them (big slobbery onees!) <3
• Climbing EVERYTHING! 
• Major tantrums...
• Started saying Eye Eye (Ry Ry)
• Lowered her crib all the way down! 
• Understands the word 'no' and smiles when I say it because she knows better!
• Went to the lake and on a boat ride for the first time to celebrate Memorial Day weekend!

Likes: LOVES being outside, dancing to music, clapping, giving kisses, eating, playing in her new ball pit, playing with blocks, climbing anything & everything, following Rylee around, playing the 'bump' game (bumping her head onto mine), hurting me & then laughing, when we sing 'if you're happy and you know it clap your hands',

Rylee {Spring 2016}

I say this in every post but Rylee is at such a fun age right now (3.5)! Yes, there are plenty of times were she drives me crazy with her 'threenager' attitude but I am crazy in love with my full of life, energetic, spunky big girl!

Favorites: Going to school to see her teachers and best friends, going to TLG, playing soccer, sleeping with 10+ animals in her bed, playing with her little sister, horses, playing make believe (doctor, Ms. Ruby/hair stylist, teacher, photographer, cook, etc), baking with Daddy, shopping with Mommy, playing chase, getting out of bed with any excuse during nap & bedtime, 

Phrases: Spicy hot (when anything looks or tastes hot), polka guts (polka dots), kick it in the bowl (when referring to soccer-kick it in the goal), you only cry when you're hurt/sad/scard, pinky promice! now kiss it and give it a hug, Finding Jeremy aka Finding Dory, 

Food: LOVES ketchup on everything, pancakes, chicken nuggets, yogurt, carrots, cucumbers, any & all sweets

Easter fun...

Love these two little bunnies!
