My girls are growing so fast!

Rylee is getting better and better at sitting on her own! She sits for minutes at a time now instead of just seconds...she's getting so big already!
She'll be four months old tomorrow. It is so crazy how much time flies!! Today Rylee and I had a day together since Brikayla slept at my moms last night and then spent the day with her - they went to go see "The Princess and the Frog" - which Brikayla loved - but it was the first time Brikayla has gone to the theatre to see a movie, and my mom said when they walked in, Brikayla would walk up two stairs, and then run back to the door and say how dark it was in there. My mom had to drag her up the stairs, I wish I could have been there to see it! Haha. Then, my mom said that when they were watching the movie, Brikayla would look around for a minute or two and then say to her, "Grandma, it sure is dark in here" and then pause for a minute and say "let's get out of here!" but other than that she was thrilled about the actual movie! Anyway, back to me having a day with Rylee, it was so different with us just being alone. We played a lot today and Rylee was "talking" so much. She kept trying to look at the tv upside down -(it was weird that I wasn't watching Kai-lan, Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and all those other shows Brikayla loves lol) -
She took naps without being woke up, but I missed seeing Brikayla give Rylee kisses all day long, Rylee giggling and smiling at Brikayla being silly, watching Brikayla color pictures for daddy and being so excited to give it to him when he got home from work, I missed Brikayla asking to hold Rylee...although it was a great day, I realized how much I really love watching my two girls interact!

I was looking through Brikayla's first scrapbook today and it is so crazy how much Rylee looks just like Brikayla when she was four months old! They look so much alike! I never really realized it until I saw the pictures of Brikayla at Rylee's current age....and now my little Kayla Boo is going to be 3 years old in less than three weeks! She's getting so big, before I know it she'll be starting school...oh I don't even want to think about it!

Yay!!

Ok, really quick post, but I'm so excited! As most of you know, we've been trying to potty train Brikayla, throwing around the idea and everything for like six months...about three weeks ago, we just kind of let off, because she wanted nothing to do with it. So about twenty minutes ago, Brikayla came into the bathroom and said "Mom, I have to go potty" not really thinking anything would happen, we took off her jammies, she took off her diaper and sat on her potty, and she peed! I was so proud of her! I hadn't said anything about it, she just did it on her own! I really hope this continues :)

In other news, over the last two days Rylee has been sitting up by herself for like 5 seconds at a time! It's so fun!

If you don't have kids, its hard to explain, but it's so exciting when new milestones like this happen :)

It got quiet last night...

Jay and I were cleaning up the family room last night after playing with Brikayla, and realized that it was pretty quiet, so I went to go check on Brikayla and found her with a Drumstick Ice Cream Cone that she had gotten out of the freezer...(we have one of the fridges where the freezer is on the bottom, so she is able to reach it)...it was pretty hilarious, I guess she thought she'd help herself.



Rylee has been really stuffed up the past few days, and has also had her right eye almost stuck shut from eye boogers :( Today she was a lot better when I went to get her out of bed this morning though. :) When I had called her doctors office and talked to the medical assistant yesterday, she said she would move Rylees four month check up up a week so that they could check her out and make sure she didn't have anything serious, and do her check up all in one day. So we went in today and she doesn't have anything serious! I was so relieved. Today Rylee weighed 13 lbs 12 oz. She was in the 97th percentile for height...she's 26 inches! Tall girl just like her sister.

I can't believe that Rylee is going to be four months old next week and in less than a month Brikayla will be 3 years old!!! My girls are growing up so fast!
