The EEG is DONE!

Well Rylynn had another EEG today to check for seizure activity. We kept her up later than normal last night and we woke her up this morning and did not let her have her morning nap. We arrived in Lafayette at noon and they measured her head. Rylynn did wonderful. She started getting cranky, so I was able to feed her and she was out for the whole test. They ran a special light test at the end when she needed to be awake so we woke her up. She was a sport through it all! We are so glad it is over with, now we will just be awaiting the results.
We have a TON of Christmas pictures. But we have one more Christmas to go! After tomorrow we will be done and I will do my best to sum up each Christmas and include pictures for everyone to enjoy. Hope everyone has/had a nice New Year's.

Breakfast with Santa

Well for the last two weekends, Rylynn has enjoyed Santa Clause. And two weeks ago she even got to see Mrs Clause! She was very excited and smiled very pretty but was also curious and didn't know what all to think as well. This past weekend, she enjoyed scrambled eggs before seeing Santa and really like to eat scrambled eggs for the first time.

Rylynn has 2 teeth that have broken in and two more coming in from the top. She is growing very fast and our whole family is looking forward to Christmas. We hope all of you have a safe and happy holidays and remember the reason for the season. We will try very hard to post pictures regularly after each Christmas get together. Our first Christmas will be a week from this Saturday. We will enjoy Christmas with Grandma Jackson's family and then on Sunday we will enjoy Christmas with Ryan' s parents.

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone. And this year was Rylynn's first Thanksgiving. We spend the day with Ryan's family, and had a good time. The boys played football, I went through the ads with other ladies and got to play the Wii. I must admit, I am better than Ryan in boxing, I won 3 ROUNDS!!! Rylynn went without a nap, when turned her into not a happy baby, so we will be making sure for Christmas she receives naps! We had some pictures of her at Thanksgiving and of our whole family. And even had a picture with her cousin. She is growing so big and is always so happy and smiling pretty. We are also getting our first tooth!!! So we will have pictures soon I am sure.

Rylynn's new friends

This weekend, Rylynn got to see some new friends. she got to play with Gavin, Amy's son. Gavin loved to give Rylynn hugs. And then she got to welcome Grayson into the world. Rylynn loved to touch Grayson to check him out, we had to make sure she was careful. Again, enjoy some pics.

Halloween Night

Well we had to go trick or treating! We had to do two nights. On Tuesday we were able to visit everyone in Clinton County (Miranda's side) and then on Wednesday we visited a couple loved ones in Miami County. Rylynn didn't mind her costume and always smiled pretty for the camera (of course) She seems to turn on a smile for the camera and know where it is at ALWAYS. She was a little bumble bee thanks to Becca, who loned us the costume. And we are ahead of the game next year, because we already have the costume (thanks to grandpa). We hope you enjoy our cute little bumble bee, we sure did.

Halloween Outfit

Well of course, we had to deck Rylynn out in a Halloween T-shirt, so she wore a spider T-shirt, and her grandma and grandpa sipe got her a hat and bib to match. She did not care for the hat too much, but she wore it to daycare, thought you might like some pictures to see our cute little one.

Fun at the park

This weekend, Kayley came over to visit on Saturday. We had such a good time. Ryan and I decided to take the girls to Davis park. However, Uncle Greg was also home for the weekend, and we wanted him to go as well, so he joined us at the park. Kayley had so much fun and Rylynn enjoyed the swing and smiled pretty while she rode down the slide with mommy and daddy! Enjoy the pics.

Cousin Time

Rylynn got to see her cousins alot this weekend. She got to enjoy supper with them on Friday and then see them for a short time on Saturday. We went to the soccer game and she got to visit them there! We had a blast spending time with Hunter and Kayley this weekend.

Wedding Time again

This weekend the three of us attend my friend, Kristy's, wedding in Ohio. We had so much fun. I think Rylynn enjoyed the reception as much as we did. I was honored to read at the wedding and wasn't too nervous about until I got there, but I think it went fine, we then went to the beautiful reception and danced and enjoyed nice food. I have included some adorable pictures of Rylynn and one of the family. I hope everyone enjoys them!

I can hold my bottle!

Well Rylynn is working on holding her bottle. She wants to be lazy and have us do everything for her....now since we KNOW she can do it, we are encouraging her to try more often, we thought you might enjoy these pictures.

What a busy weekend!

Well our family had quite the busy week and weekend! Rylynn has been sick since Friday September 14th! When I called the doctor he told us to wait until today, the 24th. She seems to be doing much better. Ryan and her got to spend alot of time together. I had a Tastefully Simple party on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. None of them have closed but two of them are over $500 and one is almost at $1000!!!! Ryan got to see his anut and uncle that are living in Michigan, which he enjoyed, and we all got to spend time with our youth group Sunday night. I have a couple pictures I will attach of Rylynn holding her bottle that we are so proud of. She is still eating really well, and I am still making her food. I got some inspiration this week from a lady that really helped me and made me forget all the negative comments I have heard. We will attach some pictures soon. Please keep Rylynn in your prayers as she continues to get better.
Thanks

Daddy dressed me

Rylynn wanted to share about her morning:

Can you tell who dressed me??? You got it daddy! In case it is hard to see... I have on a dress that has little bottoms as a shirt and he just stuck pants with it! Daddy, Mommy, and I laughed about it all evening when mommy saw me!!! Crazy daddy!

New Mexico vacation

Well Rylynn experienced her first plane trip. she did very well. We went to visit Ryan's friend from New Mexico and had a pretty good time. Rylynn experienced green beans for the first time while she was there. We relaxed alot and enjoyed time together. Again enjoy the pics! Oh forgot to say go Colts!

Indiana Beach

Well over Labor Day weekend, we got to go to Indiana Beach for free. It was a get together for Ryan's work. We got 4 passes, so Ryan's parents went with us. They help keep Rylynn when she couldn't go on the roller coasters, but we all enjoyed the park. Rylynn road the antique cars, ferris wheel, and the big boat. We also had an antique picture of her taken, it is adorable. I will have to work on uploading that! We had a blast. I thought I needed to include a picture, so here goes!

What a Scare!

Well our week was full of scares. Rylynn got a sinus infection and we had to go to the doctor on Wednesday. But Tuesday night we decided to put the Vicks Vaporizer in her room. We turned it on and shut the door. About 12:20AM we heard the fire alarm going off! I jumped out of bed and picked her up. Ryan realized it was only going off in her room. I ran outside with her to check to see if the whole house was on fire while Ryan tried to get the fire alarm off. We couldn't get it to go off. We realized it was from the steam on the vaporizer...so one lesson learned, never shut the door if there is a working vaporizer in the room.
The on Sunday we were coming home from working at youth group. We had a green light....and all of a sudden then car comes out of know where and runs a red light I started screaming because I knew we would hit and Ryan slammed on the breaks. But I know it would it been bad had he hit us....he was flying and would have hit on my/Rylynn's side. So again...what a scare.

Sunday night I was reflecting on the week as I was rocking Rylynn and I just thanked God over and over for giving us a chance to spend more time with Rylynn and each other. I literally saw my life flash before my eyes on Sunday and I was scared to death on Tuesday. It's crazy how your life changes once you have a child and you realize that if something happens to one or both of the parents what decisions have to be made.
Have a great week. We are hoping for no more scares this week.

The Weekend

Well our weekend was filled with fun! Ryan had 10 softball games in like 48hrs! Rylynn and I watched two of them, and that was good for us. Rylynn is still not feeling well. She has a cough and running nose. We thought the runny nose might be from teething since she is also drooling a ton, but we aren't seeing any teeth, just lots of drool, which you can also see in the following pictures. It was a great weekend, and she is keeping us on our toes. She got to spend the day with grandma and grandpa Sipe on Saturday because Ryan worked and played ball and I had a Tastefully Simple party. Well I am including a couple pictures. One is of Rylynn watching her daddy at the ballpark and the other two are of her drooling like crazy after her cereal. have a great week

This is one of Rylynn's 6 month pictures, she loves to stand up. She will do it when we ask, "Where's mommy's big girl"
She just loves to smile, this is a picture in her newest bonnet at Becca's suprise birthday party.
One of my favorites! She is in the bathroom just looking innocent as can be.

Rylynn is 6 months old!

Rylynn is 6 months old! She is growing so fast. She loves to blow bubble, talk (I wonder where she gets that), laugh, giggle, and be outdoors (she is fasinated with nature) We had her pictures taken on her 6 month birthday, she did a pretty good job. And on the 10th we started her on baby food. She experienced peas first. This Saturday or Sunday she will get to try squash. We have decided to make her food, so I made her peas, and am working on carrots tonight (not sure when we will introduce that) We just want to make sure she gets the best, and we want to save some money for something we would really like to spend it on. I am going to try to include a picture of her eating peas for the first time...we will see how this thing works.

Hi family and friends

I have decided to create this site, because we have several people who don't live around the corner from us. That way you can come to our site at anytime and find out what is going on if you are interested and we don't have to do mass emails all the time. I am going to do my best to update this every week and share how Rylynn is growing and what she is doing, that is the main reason I wanted to do this, I hope all of you enjoy it, let us know what you think!
