6 months


Now weighing...16 pounds and 13 ounces. And 17 1/2 inches long.-95th percentile.
We are working on standing and walking a little more.
She is scooting all over the apartment, you turn away for one minute and she is gone.
It is scary that she is so mobile. But cute at the same time. And sad too, because she is growing sooo fast.
I know that before I know it she will be starting kindergarten.
By this time I have 2 teeth on bottom :]
She eats just about everything mommy and daddy does.
She celebrated her first Thanksgiving this month.!
Rylee is sleeping so much less in the day. 3-4 naps a day and about 9 hours at night.
Drinking about 12 ounces of formula through out the night.

5 months



15 pounds and 27 inches. She is in the 75th percentile.
This month was verrrry rough.
She began teething, eating Graduates biter cookies helped break the teeth.
She didn't really respond well to cold teether rings or anything like that.
She became a veerrrry fussy baby because of her teeth, poor baby.
Also started eating graduates puffs at this time.
Some babies at this time would choke on them because she couldn't chew them with teeth because she didn't have any yet.
But she was pretty smart about it, I think.
She would let it dissolve a little and then gum it.
Her first tooth appeared on October 26th.
I think she thinks more than alot of babies. She will be a smart when she's older Im sure.
She also had her first stumach bug this month on October 5th.
She woke up in the morning throwing up massive amounts for her.
This happened about three times and then not again.
Her doctor said that it could be completely normal.

Rylee also learned to clap her hands on October 15th :]
Which is sooo adorable. It has been since one of her favorite things to do.
She is such a cutie, and a lil sponge, she attempts to copy just about everything.



4 months

14.12 pounds...and 26 inches long :]
My GOOBY BEAR- [that nickname has come a long way. ... it started right around this time when she would babble saying "GOO".
So we decided to call her GOO, then GOO bear, now GOOBY BEAR :].
We think its cute... and she probably thinks its her name. :]
She is discovering chocolate and baby foods and tastes of mommy and daddys food.
LIKE A BIG GIRL

3 months







Now weighing 12 pounds...She has almost doubled her birth weight.

She found her feet this month.

This was the month that she had her first baby foods [green beans] & she hated it.
Now waking up usually once or twice a night only for her passy to be put back in her mouth.
And now taking much less day time naps/ it seams like all of a sudden at three months she grew up alot
This is the first month that she slept through the night.
Also a big month because it was the time she laughed for the first time :]]

2 months

Another month passed, now weighing--10.15 pounds and measuring 23 inches.
now sitting with help.
Trying out baby cereals and not really going for it.
SO alert.
We started thinking about a schedule.
So at this time we cut down the amount of naps during the day and she is sleeping alot better.
Still waking up every 3 or 4 hours at night though.
SHE IS MY EVERYTHING

1 month

I am going to try to remember everything I can.

What a great baby.
At a month Rylee was ofcourse still sleeping all the time.
A little more alert.
Had her first real smile at about 3-4 weeks old.
She also rolled completely over at 1 and a half month. on June23rd.
She hated being on her -->belly<-- ; which when she was born she ABSOLUTELY loved it.
Still waking up about every 3 hours at night for a bottle or passy.
She slept in a sleep positioner in our bed at this time.
The months pass soooo fast!

In the Beginning

Happy birthday :]

You are by FAR the best thing that has ever happened to me.



Well. let's see, My whole pregnancy I was completely set on breastfeeding.But it really wasn't as easy as I expected it to be. And I gave up way too easy. After a week of supplementing with formula, I quit breastfeeding all together.



She was a great great baby, only cried when it was really necessary.



She also had a ton of light brown hair. Everyone said that she looks just like her daddy.



She came home to my parents' house. And she had her 2 puppies waiting to meet her. [[CHLOE & GUY]]
