Rylee at 4 months

Time is flying by.Our little girl is so much fun to have around. Definitely lots of work but definitely worth it. Rylee loves to be outside. She wiggles around a lot, looks around, and does lots of happy squeals whenever we go outside. Which, by the way, we try to do lots since our weather right now is beautiful! She loves to watch Cade. She continues to hate the binky and she has found her thumb-a habit I am going to try cut out early. But it is adorable to see her sucking on it. She loves to be held and she loves to stay up late. She continues to be sooo gassy. Sometimes I think all she has inside her is air! Whenever we go places I get lots of comments on how adorable she is. I have to agree. I take Cade to a community playgroup and whenever I take Rylee out of her car seat there are always a swarm of other kids who want to see her and touch her. Her hair color is still TBD. Her eyes are still blue which is darling but I am watching closly for any change. The more green they are the bigger the chance of red hair. She has gorgeous long eyelashes that curl perfectly. She has started to coo and babble more lately. It is so sweet to hear! It is nice to be hearing happy noises rather than all her noises be crying or fussy noises.

 Cole is thrilled that Rylee already loves to watch football with him.

Cade loves his little sister (although I am pretty sure sometimes he just wants to see how much she can endure at once!)

Things to Remember

1) Sometimes your idea about a good family event, doesn't go over well with the kids. Over Labor Day we thought we would have some good family time and go fly a kite. It was a warm, windy, perfect day. However, the kids hated it. Cole and I made the most of it and had a good time flying our Buzz Lightyear kite.


2) Cade has remarkable word choice. About a week ago our family was coming home from an event and it was completely dark outside. Rylee was crying and Cade asked us to turn the car light on. When we asked him why, he responded with, "Rylee not like darkness". Not sure when darkNESS became part of his vocabulary.

3) Rylee looks really cute in leg warmers!

4) Touche for Cade. About 2 weeks ago, there was an outdoor "pep rally" to kick of the Kansas State football season. Manhattan closed down one of its main streets to host vendors, inflatable bounce houses, a display of vehicles (firetruck, ambulance, school bus) for kids to tour, toys for kids to play with (i.e. a black train), and a small firework show at the end. Tonight, while I was laying in bed with Cade, he got really chatty (obviously trying to avoid "sleepy time"). He asked, "What was that black train and school bus? I go inside school bus and under red car (one of the bounce-houses). What was that called?
I responded, "it was a big party."
Cade: I do that again.
Me: Well, they cleaned it all up.
Cade: Where did they go?
Me: They put it all away.
Cade persisted in this way wanting to know where they went. In frustration I finally said, "Cade it's ALL GONE." Cade thought for a minute, then said: blue sky. The blue sky is still there.
Me: Yes the sky is still there.
Cade: Road. The road still there.
Me: Yes, your right Cade. The road is still there.
Cade: And people and kids. They're still there.

Touche Mr. Cade- the blue sky, road, and people are "still there."
