Went to go see Santa!!!

We went to go see Santa this week, and we only had to wait 20 mintues!!! She didn't cry and actually smiled in a couple of pictures, but her hands were in the way. You can't see, but her shirt says I love Santa.

Christmas came early for Rylie!!!

Rylie is a good baby, but she is awake all the time!!! She will be up for 2-5 hours at a time during the day and gets bored. We gave her this Christmas present early and she loves it. I love it because she will sit in it for 30 minutes to an hour and I can get some things done - like this blog!!! She is already tall enough to stand up and bounce a little bit. We have to put a blanket in front of her though because she gets tired to easy and can't quite hold herself up.

She finally mastered holding on to a rattle and bringing it to her mouth. She just had to hit herself in the head a few times to figure it out!!!

She loves to sit in her jumper - she was there for over an hour. The toy in front of her lights up, plays music and spins around. This was a gift from my granny and Aunt Candy, thanks!!!

Rylie's first visit to the park, and it was hot. It was 90 degrees this Saturday in December, a record high, and by Thursday morning it would be 15 degrees, a record low. Crazy Texas weather!!!!



Resting with Dad after a long day out.

Isn't she cute??!!?!?

I'm sure she will hate me for this later - but she rolled over!!!!! I guess she didn't want to take a bath after all!!!

She loves to sit and watch TV with all the big kids.

Rylie's 1st Saturday home from the hospital she was watching a Nebraska game with dad. Her shirt says "This is my first Nebraska t-shirt" and she is wrapped in her Nebraska blanket!!!


This is Rylie in her car seat, she just loves talking to her little friends. I am not sure when she will realize that they don't talk back!!!!




Here she is playing in her little gym - that is a big smile on her face, not a cry. The star above her lights up and plays music and she loves it.

What a dad, he put her right to sleep!!!

This is Rylie with my parents, Gi-Gi and Big Daddy on their 27th wedding anniversary.

A few pictures

I have just starting blogging, but here are a few pictures to catch you up on Rylie!!!

Rylie was born on September 21, 2005 at 10:06 pm. I was induced that morning at 5:30!!! When she was born her cord was wrapped around her neck and she was not breathing. The NICU team was waiting in the room and put a tube down her throat. The picture was taken just a few minutes after she was born, while she was still in the room with me.


This picture was taken the next morning. She had pulled out a totally of 13 IV's while there and that left her hands and feet bruised. She is a little stubborn, and I just don't know who she gets that from!!!!

That afternoon they were able to take her breathing tube out and she was breathing on her own!!!

On the 25th she was moved into a smaller bed with no machines and only 1 IV!!! We were finally able to put her first outfit own.

We brought Rylie home from the hospital after 7 days in the NICU. This is a picture with my mom (Gi-Gi) and Rylie's cousin Caden (Bethany's little boy). By the way, Bethany is expecting her second!! Yeah!! Hopefully she will have a girl this time.
