Peek-A-Boo

Rylee is starting to learn how to play peek-a-boo with us, it is so fun. This video is her and daddy playing on Christmas day, they played for about 10 minutes. - k

Christmas Pictures

These are a few of the pictures we took during Christmas. We were too excited to take pictures, but Grandma's camera has lots of pictures for us. Rylee had a great time playing with some of her new toys, playing with daddy, snuggling Grandpa (and Grandma), and taking a nap with me. What a great trip we had, we will share more pictures later. - k

Christmas Eve Entertainment

For those of you who don't know Cousin Alyssa, she is typically quite shy. But she was our entertainment on Christmas Eve. This is one of her many many songs that she entertained us all with. She practiced this one many times that day and was ready to go. Her other melodies were, "Once there was a Snow Man" and "Twinkle Twinkle" pronounced "Crinkle Crinkle!" She also made up several of her own songs, but this is the cutest! .... Christmas Photos will follow. They are on Grandma Michelle's Camera--we were too busy unwrapping to get the camera out! - k

Christmas Toy

Rylee got an endless selection of new toys, but her favorite is the red ring from her stacker.

Eating with Daddy

Rylee gets so fussy if you try to put her to bed without her solids, it is one of her favorite times of the day.

Family Christmas

Since we will be leaving for California on Wednesday, we had family Christmas tonight. Many of you won't believe this but we really did wait until today to open presents, a new world record in our family. Rylee got a lot of toys, a very cute outfit from Granna and Grandpa, and lots of other fun things. Our real present was our new computer, but Matt also got the nice sweater he has on, some treats and Talladega Nights DVD. I got a really cute hat from Rye and a Seat Saver for the car to protect it from the car seat. - k

Snowy House

Well every blog posting doesn't have to be about Rylee, we can put other things on too. These are some pictures of our house after a day of snow! Matt and I both learned a few things about shoveling snow today, a whole new experience for the Texan and Californian. Rylee wasn't a whole lot of fun in the snow quite yet, but watching the other kids up and down the neighborhood was fun. We have snowmen, snow forts and snow balls fights all over the place! In total I would say we have close to a foot out there and it is still coming. - k

Good Book

Needless to say this book was a bit slobbery after Rylee got done with it.

Exersaucer Video

Exersaucer Time

Rylee played in her Exersaucer for over an hour this morning, she loves it! She talked to all of her toys, kicked her legs, and hit the toys non-stop. It was just too cute. I figure this is the best workout for her since she isn't mobile yet, we need to work off a few calories a day. :) - k

Santa

Rylee was trying to suck up to Santa by being extra cute for him. She thought if she was extra nice she would get even more presents from him! Silly girl! - k

Christmas Photos

We went to get Rylee's Christmas picture taken yesterday, and wow what an experience that was. The last two times we did pictures she was great, but this time we threw a major temper tantrum the entire time. We tried and tried everything to get smiles, but this is the only one she gave us. Then we went and saw Santa and she was so excited, she loved Santa and had lots of smiles for him. I will have to scan that one in for you all to see. - k
