Rylee. Rylee. Rylee

It seems like she changes more and more everyday.
She knows words and names that nobody taught her knowingly.
She picks things up really quick. She knows all of her body parts. And she has got them down really good. Before she would mess up, not so much anymore.
She knows her hair, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, ears, ninnys, belly button, knees, feet, toes, and hands.
She knows what get dressed means and take your clothes off and shoes and pretty much anything you say she understands.
She understands the meaning of no now, If you ask her if you can hold her, she will either put her arms up to you or she will say NO.
its so funny to me.
Also, when Lexie is doing something shes not supposed to she will say Lexie, NO! - but that is really the only 2 words she will put together.
When we have food she wants, she says please, but we have been working with her to get her to say bites please.
But it's not working yet.
I don't know if she is supposed to be putting words together by now or not but I feel like she could if she really tried.

She loves the baby in mommys belly now!
We will just be laying on the couch and she will say BABY!BABY!BABY! and she kisses the baby, and rubs the baby, just yesterday Jake was feeling the baby kick and she put her hands on my belly. Trying to be like her daddy.
I wish she could have realized that she was feeling the baby kick.
Also she loves to give the baby her baba.
Everything she does is sooo cute to me.
We got her halloween costume the other day. She is going to be a bee :]
I cant wait to get her out trick or treating, this will be her first year doing that.
Last year she was still little.
But I think shes ready this year :]

POTTY TIME!

The other day Rylee got a big girl potty.
So I kept trying to just take her with me when I went to the bathroom, and she would sit on the potty and say No.
And just get up.
So I took her diaper off and let her run around naked.
I told her to tell me when she needs to "Tee-Tee".
But she always just tells me as she is going.
But the the good thing is that if I see her peeing on the ground I just say No!.
And she quits, and we go to the potty and sometimes she won't go still.
And it will be another 5 minutes before she needs to go.
She tee-teed on the potty one time the first day and the potty sings a song when she does and she feels so proud of herself.
It is really cute.
It's very frustrating for me though because she only tells me when she's going.
I wish that she would just go to the potty when she needs to go.
She definately knows what it's for.
But it's still early, she's only 16 months. Most babies aren't even attempting this yet.
So I guess I just have to be patient and let her learn on her own time.
But we will be practicing every day...

Today she did the cutest thing.

Today while I was vacuuming Rylee fell down and put her arm up for me to help her stand back up.
About 5 minutes later she fell again and reached up for me again.
She realized that everytime she fell she was going to be helped back up.
So as I vacuumed I noticed her following me and just getting in front of me and falling to her knees.
She just waited around for me to help her up.
This time I didn't do it because I knew she was playing a game.
So she just kept on falling on purpose.
It was rediculously funny.
She is too smart.


Also a big milestone - We bought her a toddler bed the other night.
And the first night we put her in it and she went straight to sleep.
She adapted well to it really quick, I really thought that she would want her crib more.
At nap times she usually gets out of bed at first to play with toys, and then gets back in bed and falls asleep.
Its perfect for her because if you tell her to go get in her bed , she climbs right into bed and lays down with her teddy bear.
Now if only getting her off the bottle was that easy.
Next thing is potty training, I want to have her out of diapers by the time the baby is born.
