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.
