Just Some Pictures

Rylee Girl, the Toddler

Rylee has been growing A LOT lately. And it's not just her physical stature that is changing- Rylee is learning nonstop. She's got new words and phrases nearly everyday and it is constantly keeping us on our toes. Long gone are the days when she would sit still and smile for pictures. The girl won't dare look at me long enough so I can take a decent photo. If I ever do get her looking at the camera, it's simply because I screamed and made noises like a crazy person to get her attention. That probably explains why she's giving me "the look" in most pictures nowadays. Enjoy :)

It's located in a harbor, so there aren't really any waves which makes it easy for the kids to play in the water. Every once in a while, a current would come through and knock Rylee flat on her face. She came out of the water giggling everytime! She had a great time.

Potty Chat: July 21, 2011

We've been talking a lot with Rylee about the potty in the last week. After seeing one of her friends use a toilet, she has become mildly obsessed. She wants to watch anyone who is using the bathroom (obviously not a good habit) and talks about "peepee" fairly regularly. The other day I heard her yelling "Mama, Mama...hahaha!". I walked into the bathroom to find this:
