...18 months...

This post is mostly for me and Chasey. Just a reminder to us of what Ry did at 18 months.

How in the world is my baby girl 18 months old already?! I know every parent says that, but the time has really just flown by!! The past 18 months has been the best 18 months ever! Rylee is the best little girl, and makes me and Chasey beyond happy!! She is such a little ray of sunshine everyday, and makes everything so much better.  She has always been my little side kick, but even more so lately. She is old enough now to really know what is going on. I feel so lucky that I am able to hang out with her all day everyday! Even when I need a break I usually am only gone a half hour, or I end up taking her with me. I just love her so much, and cant seem to get enough her! Chasey lights up when she runs to him everyday when he comes home from work saying," Dada Dada Dada!" She claps and smiles and waves hi to him. He loves his little girl so much!

...Whats new at 18 months...

* Rylee has always has somewhat of an attitude, but lately its getting a little ridiculous. She is Queen of Tantrums when she doesnt get what she wants. If you ignore her she stops within seconds! I hear thats normal for an only child though, so there is hope that she grows out of this stage!

* Her vocabulary is getting bigger and bigger. My favorite thing that she says is " Thank You Mama." Its the cutest thing ever, and she says it only when I give her something. She also is starting to say "mine" or "Ry Ry's" when she doesnt want to share. All the other words are the same with a few new ones like outside, whats that, good girl, apple, Aunt Lo Lo, Migooo ( Amigo), Lailey ( Hailey), night night Mama, and sippy.

* She knows EVERYTHING that you say to her, and what you want her to do. The only problem is that her little attitude makes her do what she wants.

* Her favorite show is Fresh Beat Band. Every time it comes on she drops what she is doing and is glued to the tv. She dances the whole half hour its on.

* We have a little artist! Just like me Rylee loves to color. I look at her laying on her stomach with a doll next to her and it reminds me exactly of myself as a kid. The only downside to coloring is that she hasnt learned the difference between a coloring book and a book!

*She is obsessed with hats. She is always looking for one to put on her head. It doesnt matter if its my hat, Chaseys hat, a dolls hat, or her hat. She just wants one on her head! She has gotten really good at taken them off and putting them back on.

* She loves the Christmas tree! So much that we are tempted to take all the ornaments off! She will bring them to me or Chasey and say, " here. Thank you! " Its so cute when she does it, so we cant get mad at her.

* Her picky eating is getting worse! She now fights us over everything except breakfast fruit bars, fruit snacks, cheese, and spaghetti. Once a week she will eat whatever we give her, so thats good I guess.The doctor told us she is healthy and will eat when she needs too.

* At church there is a picture of Daniel in the Lions Den, and one of Abinidi with two tigers by him. Rylee points the lions and tigers and says, " Moe Moe." I love it!

Im sure Im forgetting something, but I cant think of them right now.
Ry is the best little girl, and we love watching her learn and grow all the time!
