More of Rylee

Here's a couple random shots I took of Rylee this week. She's getting so big already!

Golden Gate Park

On Wednesday, we went with the Thompson's and Palmer's to Golden Gate Park. They have a really fun merry-go-round. It was such a hot day, 82 degrees, ok, hot for San Francisco! It was nice to get out and get some much needed fresh air.

Nana and Papa

Nana, Papa, and Cherae came this last weekend to visit us. It is always fun having company. Thank you for taking time away from your busy schedules to be with us. We love you guys!

My Girls

These are my two favorite kids! Taeler has been such a good big sister to Rylee. I feel pretty lucky for that! Rylee just loves to watch Taeler and listen to all she has to tell her.

Grandma Neilson

My mom came over to help me after I delivered Rylee, right after my mother-in-law left. I am so lucky to have so much help and support! Thank you for all you did! I love you!

The Toy Monster

So, I heard about a little thing called the toy monster. He loves to eat toys, and only toys. If there is a toy on the ground when we all go sleep, he will gobble it up and it will not be there in the morning. So, I decided to try this with Taeler. With my mom's help, she told Taeler a very sad (fake) story about how her cousin Bella got some of her toys eaten by the toy monster. Taeler was very interested in the story. She kept asking"Is Bella so sad?", and "which toys did the toy monster eat?". So, for the past couple days, Taeler has been sooo good about cleaning up her toys. The only annoying thing is when I have her in bed and she remembers a toy somewhere on the ground in the house, she jumps out of bed to go rescue the toy from getting eaten. i have yet to take a toy away that was not put away, but we'll see how long this lasts! I'm sure when the monster eats his first toy, she will surely remember. Hopefully the next time she sees Bella, she won't figure out we made up the story about her!

Rylee: two weeks old

I can't get enough of this little girl. She is already starting to get little chubs on her! I definitely feel very blessed to have two sweet, beautiful little girls.

Taeler's new favorite thing

Taeler found a new hobby, taking pictures. She will take them of everything. Thank goodness for digital. She loves taking shots of her with other people. She took these two pictures last night. They were pretty centered, of course she tried twenty times before she actually got us in the picture.
