Watching Rylynne Grow

I can't believe Rylynne is 2! She is turning into a little girl now. She has started loosing that "baby look." She is very independent, loves music, wants to stay outside all day, isn't too big on getting dirty, likes to laugh and make us laugh, and is always on the go!

We are finally starting to understand her language, haha. It's amazing the progress she has made just in the last few weeks as she has started putting words together. She LOVES to help! I try to find little things she can do and she just loves it.

She went for her 2 year check-up this week. She is now 33lbs which puts her in the 97% for her age, but she is in the 98% for her height. She just big for her age all the way around.

Here is a look back over the past 2 years....

Oink, Moo, Cock-a-doodle-doo! Rylynne is 2!

Oink, Moo, Cock-a-Doodle-Doo! Our little Rylynne is 2! We celebrated on her Birthday, March 26 with a Barnyard theme party at my parent's house. My dad farms, so the setting was perfect! She was so excited! We had a blow-up slide, hayride, and pinata!

For lunch we had pizza and a table complete with her favorite foods...McDonalds Chicken Nuggets, Goldfish, Go-gurt, apples, carrots, and cookies! To top it off, there was a barn birthday cake made my Grandma!

Rylynne's favorite thing about the party was the slide. She didn't even want to open presents! She just wanted to slide! By the end of the party she was exhausted! She tried taking a nap on the slide, but she decided she wanted to go to her big girl bed in Grandma's house. She was out about 5 minutes after laying down.

The cutest barn cake made by Grandma!!!

Pawpaw trying to help convenience Rylynne to open presents! haha Who has ever heard of child not wanting to open presents?

Sydney slept for most of the party. She woke up in time for gifts! This is when Rylynne decided she was ready for a nap! (And I know you are wondering why there is a mattress on the slide. We borrowed the slide from our neighbor and it's meant to be a water slide. It was too cold for water so he suggested putting a mattress on the bottom because it goes straight to the ground otherwise. A little redneck, yes...but it worked perfectly!) Sydney got a present too! She was more into opening hers than Rylynne was, haha. "Aunt" JenJen & Rylynne

The Hay Ride! Papa took us all on a hayride. The kids got really excited when got to see the cows close up!

We were waiting on the weather to get a little better before giving Rylynne her gift from us. But, it's been cold and rainy all week so Shawna decided to set it up in the garage for now!

Welcome Warmer Weather!

It feels like Spring is just around the corner! We are finally able to get outside again! Rylynne loves going outside. She would stay outside all day if I let her. One of our favorite things to do is to go to the playground! She doesn't stay in the area designed for her though. She loves to go on the biggest, highest slide there is! haha She has no fear at this point!

Sydney has been to the playground a couple of times, but this was the first time she tried out the swings. She loved it! It looks like we will be spending more and more time outside!

Rylynne was way to busy to even give me one look for the camera!

Ready for Bed!

Sydney looked so cute in this gown and matching booties that I had to post it! Mrs. Baker (A sweet lady who is like a Grandmother to Shawna) made this for Rylynne when she was little. It fits Sydney now!

The Big Catch!

On Rylynne's 1st Birthday Shawna gave her a Disney Princess fishing pole! This weekend we FINALLY got it out and took her fishing at the pond at my Mom & Dad's house. I think it's safe to say that she is not ready for a fishing trip yet. Fishing kept her interest for about 5 minutes and she was ready to play in the leaves! haha Before she took off playing though she actually caught a fish! (A Gold Fish she said.) This was also Sydney's first time fishing at the pond!
