Fun in the Sun!

I haven't posted anything is a long long time... we have been soo busy and I have a lot of stuff to post about, so a lot of things maybe out of order..

Last week Ryan and I were on vacation, so we decided to go home for the week. We just wanted to relax and have fun with Rylea and our family.

Rylea LOVED the beach, she made a little friend named Drake.. and it's a very small world. Because the family that we met, the Taylors, actually know Remica's brother, and Remica and Flint. Its so much to fun to meet different people when don't expect too.

Rylea getting ready to go the beach.. such a little diva

We couldn't keep her out of the water

Cooling off...

Rylea on the move...

Rylea is crawling around more and more everyday.. and getting into EVERYTHING! She is definitely keeping Ryan and I on our feet!

Rylea's First Easter

Rylea's first Easter was so much! She got lots of fun stuff from the Easter bunny... man that Easter bunny knows where to find us.. He made stops in Palmer, Baytown and Pearland ...

Rylea in her Easter dress, I couldn't get her to smile at the camera

Rylea got tons of cool stuff from the Easter Bunny!

The Easter Bunny came to our house too in Palmer, Rylea couldn't wait

to tear into her basket, she REALLY liked the grass

bluebonnets and more...

Over Spring break we made our trip back home.. we visited with family, friends and stopped to take some bluebonnet pictures in Huntsville.

Rylea didn't want to sit up by herself,

she was more interested in trying to pick the bluebonnets

Taking a nice break from our car ride home..

Rylea really wanted to pick the bluebonnets

Jesse and Addison, we wish we got to see them more..

A TOOTH!!!

Last week I was posting my sweet baby girl is on the move.. this week a tooth!
So many things happening at once...

We're Crawling!

So little Miss Rylea decided on Easter that she wanted my cell phone.. so she just crawled over to it.. I knew it would be soon, because she has been able to get up on her hands and knees for a while now.. but man she took off! Luckliy I was on vacation this week, so I got to be at home with her while she has been on the move, exploring the house. Her favorite place to go.. is her closet!


.. I am still behind on posting pictures and such, I need to get on that!

Marie Q

Ryan, Rylea and I had our family pictures taken... by Marie Q in Waxahachie... I am obsessed by her work, ever since we moved up here I walked past her studio, and always wanted her to take our pictures.

she has a very laid back approach and cool loft like studio..

we have our proofs ready.. take a look

So behind!

Hopefully this weekend I will get to sit down and blog.. so much stuff has happened.. Spring break, play dates, family pictures, and Rylea sitting up for the first time!

keep posted!

6 month check-up!

Rylea turned 6 months on Friday.. wow how time flies! She is right on schedule, she is 16lbs 11oz and 26.5 inches long! She has started to try to sit up on her own.. but she is rolling all over the place!

Finally Feeling Better

Yesterday was the first day, that Rylea has felt good.. she played and bounced all day! We got a little of her bouncing on video... She's not wearing any clothes because someone decided to go to the bathroom while mom was changing her diaper.. and then she was much more happier with no clothes on..

until next time...

Valentines Day Fun

Valentines Day was such a fun day! my parents and sister came up to Palmer to see us. It was such a nice day on Saturday we all decided it would be a great day to go to the Dallas Aboretum.. we took lots of great pictures, even though Rylea slept most of the time.. it was still a fun day!
After we went to the Arboretum, we went to one of mine and Ryans favorite hamburger place Snuffers.. then they took Rylea and Ryan and I had a much needed date day.
Hope everyone had a great valentines day too!

RSV / Pneumonia

Our baby girl is sick.. she has had a cold, but that is all I thought it was. We had gone to the Dr. before and she told us, just to let it pass. Well it never did, I finally got tired of it on Friday and called Dr. Strength.. Thank goodness I did. We took Rylea in and they tested her for RSV, which she had.. but that is the only thing the Dr. could tell at the Dr. office, she sent us to the Hospital for some x-rays.. I was in tears, and thinking how are they going to x-ray a 5 month old that won't lay still?? Rylea actually did pretty good, it only took one try.

Well the results came in and she has Pneumonia!!

She is taking antibiotics and is on breathing treatment... everything right now is looking good and she is getting better everyday!

my sweet baby, doing her breathing treatments...

until next time...

sweet potatoes!!

Today Rylea ate food! Her first bite was of Gerber Organic Sweet Potatoes.. she didn't really show if she liked it or not.. but it was funny to watch her face the first time she tasted it..

Ryan and I took a little video of her.

Lazy Sunday

This has been such a great weekend.. Ryan and I both had to work Saturday morning.. but we spent the rest of the weekend just running errands and playing with Rylea.. We took her to Babies R Us.. we have now realized we are going to wait a little longer to have our second child, so we don't have two babies in diapers.. its expensive!

Rylea is really moving! although she hasn't rolled over yet, she just inches across the floor.. I have a feeling when she does start crawling and walking we are going to have a hard time keeping up with her.

She got really tired.. we spent about 30 minutes on the floor.

until next time...

GREAT NEWS!!

For the past 3 years Ryan has been the Offensive Coordinator for the Palmer Bulldogs.. Well this week they named him Head Coach!! we are so excited, and looking forward to next football season!

Rylea's 4 month Check Up!!!

Time flies I can't believe that we just had Rylea's 4 month check up...
She is such a big girl.. she is 15 pounds and 2 ounces, and 25 inches long..
Ryan and I took her to the Dr. because we thought it was going to be bad when she got her shots, but she just whimmperd a little.
Dr. Strength told us we could start feeding her rice cereal, and giving her water..
well she hates both! we have tired mixing it with water, and with her milk, and she just keeps on spitting it out. if you have any suggestions on how to get her to eat it.. let me know :)

Rylea's First Trip to the Zoo!

While we were home for Christmas, We took Rylea on her first trip to the Houston zoo. Even though she didn't know what anything was, it was such a beautiful day, and we went with our good friends Derek and Shiloh and Rylea's bestfriend Caden.

Rylea and her daddy looking at some animals

I love this picture of Rylea and I

Rylea discovered she has a tounge, so she is always sticking it out,

especially when we take her picture..

Rylea, and her daddy, with their bestfriends Caden and Derek.. Caden loves to hold hands



This was such a fun day.. I can't wait to go to the zoo when she actually knows what the animals are
