14 Months!!!

As of Monday Rylen is 14 Months old!!! I can't beleive how fast it has gone by!!! She is doing and learning so may different things these days!! It is so much fun to watch her! Here is a list of what Rylen is up to!!

Rylen Loves loves to play outside!! She just got a new playhouse for Momma and Pops house and a slide and picnic table for Shuggie and Grandaddy's house! She does not like when its time to go inside to get ready for bed.

She is walking very well these days, before we know it she is going to be sprinting places!

Her favorite foods right now are yogurt and vanilla wafers!!

She loves to dig in the cabinets while I cook supper!

Her Pop's is one of her favorite people and if he is home she thinks he is suppose to carry her everywhere!!!

Booker (the dog) and Rylen are great friends and woller all over each other in the evenings!

Shuggie and Aunt Temi are Rylen's favorite people!! When they are around she pretty much wants nothing to do with anyone else!!

These are just a few of the things Miss Priss has been up to here lately!

She is always in action!!

Here are a few random pictures I have of her. I haven't been very good with the camera here lately. This will change when we get to play outside more!

Here she is on the run!!

Blowin bubbles with Pop's

Still a little groggy! Breakfast is her favorite meal of the day!

There I like that face better!!!

Last night while digging in a closet I came across some little doll furniture Aunt Brenda got Rylen for christmas. I had put it up because Rylen wasn't quite old enough for it yet. It is 2 chairs, a couch and a table. Rylen loved it she played with it for a good hour!! The funny thing was she kept trying to set in the chairs and would miss everytime!! OF COURSE I didn't have my camera with me it was at work... Hopefully she will do it again soon and I will get some kind of picture or something!!

This was a pretty sloppy blog but I didn't have time for much more and I wanted to post about what Ry is up to!!! Hope everyone has a blessed day!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines day!!! It is beautiful here in Snyder! The next few days are suppose to be great as well!! I have always been a lover of cold weather but I think becoming a Mommy changed that. Cold weather means sick babies and being cooped up inside! I'm ready for no more bad coughs and runny noses and to go run and play outside for a change!!

We have had a crazy couple of days. Thursday I took Rylen to the Dr. in Snyder because I didn't want to make the trip to Abilene for her cough once again. After waiting 2 hours in the waiting room with tons of sick adults and then another 45 minutes in the back to see the dr I decided it would have been faster to drive to Abilene!! We got chest x rays done on Friday to make sure she didn't have neumonia. The results came back clear and all we have is a viral infection that will clear up when the weather gets better more than likely. Thank you guys for all the thoughts and prayers!!

For Valentines Cooper and I got each other an Ipad!! I think its become more mine than anything since i've gotten the most use out of it!!! I have been wanting one of these for a while now! It will really come in handy when Rylen gets older and we can download books, games, and movies to entertain her with!! It really really came in handy for me this weekend!!

Magan's (coopers sister) baby shower was this weekend and I was a host! It was a couples shower so I knew we needed to have some hearty appetizers there for the guys! I have always been a fan of Ree Drumonds blog she has great recipes and oh so much more! I used the ipad as my cook book!! I just had to take a picture to show you how neato it was!!!

I was really excited about Rylen's first Valentines Day so I got some goodies ready for her to take to daycare for all her friends!!

Rylen loves marshmallows so I got them some to have a snack time that were pink and heart shaped! And I couldn't forget about Miss Julie Rylen got her a coffee cup!!

Rylen got a cute little valentines puppy dog!! She was still a little groggy from waking up!

wide eyed and bushy taled!!!
Theres that smile I love!!!

Rylen looked very festive on Valentines day!! She was decked out in pink hearts courtesey of her Aunt Brenda!! She wasn't cooperating for a picture though!!! I was trying to get her to turn towards me but she was more interested in pulling wipies out of the box! Her new favorite thing to do!!!!


Every Monday morning from 10 - 11 I have storytime here at the Library! This Monday was our Valentines Party!! The kids had so much fun!! I made them little bags so they could bring V day cards for all their friends! We had snacks, read books, and they got to look threw their goody bags!!! I love my kiddos!!





I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines day!!!!!! xoxoxo

Hey good lookin what ya got cookin?

Kelly's Korner is a "mom blog" I have followed for about 3 years!! She does this post every month called show us your life. Well this month it is SUYL What do you feed your kids????

This is a stressful subject for me. Rylen is quite the picky eater...... This is something she did not get from me. I have never been picky about food. I'm up to try anything and usually love everything!!!!

I feel like Rylen is just eating the same old same old everyday. I want her to have a variety of foods but so far she is pretty stuck on mac and cheese, and hot dog weenies for the most part.

Breakfast is the easiest:

Yogurt

oatmeal

maltomeal

scrambled eggs

mini vanilla wafers (yes i let my child eat a cookie for breakfast but she always has one of the above to go along with it)

Lunch:

weenies

craft single slices

mac and cheese

corn dogs

crackers

and we are still doing fruit baby food

Dinner:

Usually she will somewhat eat what we are having but mostly we resort to feeding her a weenie

mashed potatoes

green beans

spaghettie noodles

she loves any kind of breads

Snacks:

I love the gerber graduates! They have the best snacks that are a good size and easy for Rylen to feed herself!

Ritz crackers

gold fish are great

graduate gummy snacks

yogurt bites

I think Rylen has a texture issue. She only likes to eat one thing at a time. She finishes all her mac and cheese and then all her weenie. Don't even try to flip flop bites or its gonna come right back out!!!! I know this is just a phase she is going threw and it to shall pass. She gets a clean bill of health at every doctor visit so I think she will survive it!! haha!!

"Mom I don't like this and I don't like this and why did you buy this
I don't care for it at all!!!"

"Hey Granny why don't we put down this cooking magazine and get me some peppermint candy!!!"

Rylen stays a few hours at my grandmothers every once in a while so I can get some things done around town. They both have a blast playing. Granny Nell has a candy bowle on her coffee table that always has peppermint candy in it. Rylen LOVES it and eats entirely to much while she is over there!!!! Oh well it doesn't bother me!! I'm just glad Ry has a Great Granny to spend time with!!!

If you have any tips on what to feed this baby girl just leave me a comment!!!!!

Hope you all have a blessed day!!!
