Rylee decided for her “two” birthday that she wanted to wear her tu-tu. She was a moving target, but you still get the jist. Pink tennies, pink sweats, a purple, pink and blue shirt aaaannndd…the red tu-tu. According to daycare, she even kept her hair in for most of the day!
It’s safe to say I have been slacking off in the post department the last week. I posted a link to a slideshow someone else put together, I recycled a marriage interview that I did and then wrapped that all up with a lame Fashion Police Friday post. I’m pretty sure that stems from slacking in the photo taking and video department. And, trust me, that’s not from Rylee slacking in the cute department! What I lack in the blog inspiration department, is not just wasted inspiration. It’s being redirected to the focus of Ry’s big #2 b-day…that’s right. The little monster is about to turn TWO! I can hardly believe it. I am super excited about her birthday party! Not that we are doing anything super-crazy special. It will be the usual family get together of 35 of our closest family members. I’ve spent some time in the last week doing fun crafty-like projects for Ry’s party. For now, they’re a secret, but I cannot wait to share them! As the weeks turn into days until her birthday, I am forever awestruck by this amazing little girl.
Lately, the flood gates have opened with little Ry’s vocabulary. She saying new words every day and even putting sentances together. Some of her new words include:
I am so proud of her for all the new words she is trying to say. I knew they were in her little head, but I wondered if I stunted her speech by teaching her sign language. I’m starting to feel better about that now!
Anyway, post summary: my kid’s a ROCKSTAR! I can’t wait for her birthday party. And now I’m headed to the mall.
Well, she’s older than one now, but I have been VERY bad about posting…obviously since my last post was before Rylee’s birthday. We have taken quite a few photos in the last month and a half and I have some definite catching up to do. I will try my very best! I will start with her birthday and go back/forward from there. The last photos I posted are from March!!
Rylee’s birthday went off without a hitch. We had a big BBQ out at our home. The weather was perfect, Rylee was in a fantastic mood and the food was good. My sister Kelli even came from Chicago for the celebration! I borrowed the nice camera from my work and my sister Kristen played photographer. She ended filling up the memory card twice! There are a few shots from the party. Rylee loved her Carrot cake cupcake…and her new pink .22!!
