Hear Me ROAR!

Call it strange or funny, Ryleigh started growling this past week. It just comes from out of the blue and sometimes she'll keep on for several minutes. She'll growl at us if we get on to her about something...must be her "back talking". haha

Random Pics

Just some random pictures (old and new) I got off of Rance's camera...

Swimming....FINALLY!

We finally got a good weekend of swimming in last weekend. The water was just perfect and Ryleigh loved it! Tomorrow and Sunday are looking even better as the pool water has been in the 90's this week. Ryleigh gets to meet Jarred's Uncle Rusty tomorrow for the first time. We are looking forward to seeing him.

You can see Ryleigh's first tooth in this picture!

9 Months Old!

It's been a while since we've updated on everything that has been going on (my camera batteries have been dead for weeks) so I will try my best!
Ryleigh is 9 months old today! Soooo hard to believe! I spoke too soon about no teeth...she cut her first one on the bottom last weekend. (I'll post pics soon when I get some batteries!) Jarred is so upset that we don't have a "gummy smile" anymore. But I think the little tooth is just as cute! The tooth coming in didn't seem to bother her too much. She has just been drooling and gnawing on everything. I see 2 on the top under the gums getting ready to come in, but they aren't the 2 center teeth, they are the ones next to them. So we will see which ones come in first.
Ryleigh had her 9 month doctor visit today. Luckily she didn't have to have any shots. She didn't like it too much when the nurse wanted to lay her down to measure her and then when she tried to put the tape measure around her head and then get her temperature...she was screaming bloody murder. She warmed up though once she got used to the room and saw the mirror. She weighed 19 lbs 7 oz; 28 inches tall; and her head was 46.5 cm I think. (The nurse had to do it twice as Ryleigh was screaming her head off and turning it back and forth...haha) She was in the 75th percentile for her height and weight and in the 95th for her head size. The Dr said we can pretty much give her any table food we want with a few exceptions...woo hoo! And he predicted she would be walking before her 1st birthday!
Oh yea, she is EVERYWHERE! Crawling (FAST!), pulling up on any and everything, and is now cruising. She loves the stairs in our house. She goes up them one after the other. She gets so excited when she sees them and crawls over to them. I'll try to get a good video and post it.
Ryleigh's hair is starting to get longer now. She had a head full of hair when she was born, but lost a lot of it. It has finally started to grow, but it has lightened up and is now a light brown. Jarred had light brown/blonde hair when he was little, so she must be getting that from him! It will be interesting to see if it gets darker as she gets older.
I will post more pics and videos soon! Here are a few my parents took when they were in town last weekend.
Ryleigh loves pulling wipes out of the box as you can see!
