WALKING!

We finally caught Rylee's walking on a phone camera. (Sorry, it is kind of dark, but we can't ever seem to get the good camera out in time to catch these things. Aren't cell phones a wonderful invention?) The first one is Rylee with her new Lightning McQueen car that Grandma Trina bought - she cruises all over the house with it! The second video is Ry walking on her own. It took her a few tries, but she made it all the way across our living room by herself!

Easter!!

We had a great first Easter with Rylee!! She got fun toys and mama and daddy got lots of candy! Rylee was very cute in her new Easter dress. Here are a bunch of pictures:

First Steps!!!!

Rylee took her first, intentional, non-coaxed, successful steps this week!! I wish we had a picture or video or something, but it was a huge suprise. We were just sitting on the couch watching tv when she decided she was just going to get up and walk to the other couch! It was very exciting. In other news: I wish I could report that we are successfully moved in and all unpacked, but I can't. So instead here are a few pictures of Rylee and our goings on lately!

Napping with Grandma:

Reading books:

Loving the new jetted tub:

New House!!

We close on our house this Friday!! We got the key already so that we could go in and clean and hang blinds and some things like that. I decided to take some pictures of the inside (even though there isn't a whole lot to see ... just walls and carpet).
When you first walk in the front door the stairs are straight in front:
To the right is the living room:
Then past the living room is the hallway:
The first door on the left is the hall bathroom (then a couple of hall closets):

At the back of the hall on the left is the master bedroom:
With the master bath and jetted tub!!!:

At the back on the right is Rylee's room (again - not much to see with no furniture but Chad put up pretty blinds in all the rooms):

Then the front room on the right is a tiny little den (you can kind of see how small it is):
From the front door if you go left there is the kitchen:

Here is our pretty kitchen:
This is where the table will go:

And here is our garage (with our new couches!):

Play Time

Just having some fun playing toys. Rylee is growing so huge!! She has an ear infection and has to have tubes put in, but we don't go to the ENT until Friday. She does pretty good until bedtime. Then she gets pretty fussy. Anyway, here are some cute pics ...
