Rylee update

It's been a while since I've written about Rylee. Both of our computers have been down so I haven't been able to do much. Also, Rylee is running around like crazy and never sitting still, so it's hard to take pictures these days. When she hears the word "cheese" she looks the other way!
She is doing great. 14 months and a few days old. Running around like mad. Getting into absolutely everything. Climbing on (and in) everything in sight. She is talking quite well now. She copies everything we say. She can make many animal noises on cue (dog, sheep, horse, monkey, duck, elephant, cow). She says please and thank you. She can sign eat, more, and milk (we are working on others). She loves to give kisses and hugs. She is so full of life. It is so much fun to watch her learn about her universe. (The above pic is of her and her cousin Ace hanging out on Thanksgiving).

She is officially pacifier free and has been since the day after Thanksgiving. We hadn't planned on cutting her off yet, but we forgot it one day and haven't gone back since. In fact, Rylee helped me throw them all away the other day. She's done really well. Nap time can be a challenge sometimes, but bedtimes are still nice and easy.

We are busy getting ready for the holidays (and new carpet this weekend... yay!!), but I will try and keep you updated with new pictures soon!
