Randomness. . .

Not much has been going on with us these past couple weeks so I've not had a whole to write about. The only thing new would be Rylee eating her first foods. She started eating a combo of cereal, fruit, and formula. Let me tell you she loves her fruit!! She gulped it down in record time. Other than that I'm just counting down the days till I have to go back to work and trying to treasure what little time I have left with her.

Well, not a whole to talk about so I'll leave you with some cute pictures.

Father's Day

So, being that today is Father's Day I thought I would give a little shout out to my two favorite Daddy's. . . mine and Rylee's. Chris is a wonderful daddy already and Rylee has for sure got him wrapped around her finger and i'm sure it's only going to get worse the older she gets!

As for my dad I just want to make sure he knows just how grateful I am that he's my dad. I thank God constantly for him and for the role that he played in my upbringing. I am so thankful that he cared enough to take me to church every sunday. He has taught me so much and for that I am forever grateful. I love you Dad, Happy Father's Day!!

We just got back last week from Rylee's first trip home to Indiana. We had a great time visiting and spending time with everybody. Rylee did really good on the ride there. It was a 17 hour drive!!!!! It was a crazy 10 days, but we loved every minute of it and hated to leave everybody. While we were there Rylee started sleeping through night!!!!!!!!!! It was kinda scary though the first time she did it. She went to bed around 9:30 that night and didn't wake up till 4:30 that morning! When she first woke up I had no idea what time it was, but had woke Chris up with the promise that if he got up with her this time I'd get up with her for her 4 o'clock bottle (she usually eats every 4 hours). Chris got up with her but she was extremely fussy and wouldn't settle down. I could hear her screaming so I got up to see what was going on only to realize it was 4 in the morning and that nothing was wrong with her she was just EXTREMELY hungry and getting more impatient by the minute as Chris and I tried to figure out why she was screaming. . . hahaha!

While it might've been a crazy 10 days it was alot of fun and also kind of bittersweet. I've always missed being back in Indiana with our family and friends but never as much as what I do now that I've had Rylee. I didn't just hate to leave it actually broke my heart. I hated taking Rylee away from family that cares so much about her but rarely gets to see her. Thankfully we'll be back in just 2 short years and in between then we'll be back as much as we possibly can for visits. But for those of you who are close to home or close to family don't take any day you have with them for granted!

The Cheeseburger Story

I just have to share this funny story with everyone. It was so cute! So on our way back from Indiana we stopped at Hardees so Chris and I could grab a bite to eat and also so Rylee could take her bottle. So we go through the drive thru and then pull around and park in the parking lot. Since Chris was driving he was going to eat while I fed Rylee. I get Rylee out of her carseat and bring her around to the front so I can sit and feed her. She's just started eating when Chris pulls out his cheeseburger and starts eating. Oh my gosh I have never seen someone turn their head so fast. . . Rylee must've smelled daddy's cheeseburger and thought that would be better than her bottle because she did a complete 180 in my arms all the while keeping the bottle in her mouth!!! She just stared at him the entire time he was eating that cheeseburger. I couldn't get her to take her eyes away from him and that sandwich! So then to be mean Chris waves the sandwich in front of her face. . . hahaha! I'm pretty sure Chris and I neither one have ever laughed so hard in our lives. If I could've taken a picture of her watching him with that sandwich I swear we could've won some award or something it was just so darn cute!!
