Rylee turns 2!

We celebrated both Rylee and Cole's birthdays while he was in China. It was nice to be able to be around family for her birthday (we were in TX). We had our traditional pancake breakfast with pancakes shaped in the letter of your first name with a candle in it.

Rylee loves animals so I knew we wanted to do something with animals. We found a small animal park that we went too. (so small in fact that the GPS had a hard time finding it!) But it was perfect for Rylee. Here she is all already to go.

The zorse. They also had a zonkey

We got our picture taken with a baby kangaroo. (Everybody's got a baby kangaroo.....Name that movie!!) It had a Binky and everything. Rylee loved it.

We came home and had cake.

 

Here are a few things about Rylee right now:

-She is learning tons! She is always surprising us at new things she can understand, say, or do.

-Favorite colors are orange and purple.

-She is ALL GIRL. Loves babies, wearing jewelery, and carrying purses.

-She loves books. Looking at them herself or being read too.

-Continues to love Cade and want to copy everything he does.

-Has finally come to like nursery. No more tears!

-She is a really good eater. Loves to dip everything in ketchup and sour cream. 

-Takes 1 nap in the afternoon and sleeps very well through the night. Still needs her little blue blanket and a baby to sleep with.

-She is starting to sing to herself and we love it! She generally likes songs too.

-Is very tolerant of letting me do her hair. Just simple ponytails and pigtails right now.  

-Very stubborn and has a mind of her own. But we still love her tons!
