You know, I am understanding now why you go 9months to fall in love  with the idea of being a mom and having your own lil one. You also have the first few months to enjoy this human being that you created and loving every min of it because you have to have that foundation for weeks like this one. 

Miss Rylee is about 7months old and now I really can't do anything.
Lil rug-rats are needy no doubt about that but now that she has learned to "army" crawl is what I am going to call it you can tell she gets frustrated that she can't follow me everywhere in the house fast enough. 

Rylee knows without a doubt now who her mom is and that is exciting because I used to feel low on the totem poll but now I can't go anywhere without her having a full on melt down. If I'm sitting next to her she is totally content playing with her toys or in her bouncer but if I get up for heavens sake to just go to the bathroom she starts crying so hard she can't breath and can't make a sound till she catches up with her breath. I mean baby I am literally not that far away and sometimes I can still see her and she still has a fit.. Do i just let her cry..? This is not good those little teeth better be coming (my excuse for everything because I need some sort of explanation to keep my sanity) or something because I have dishes to do and laundry that needs to be done and don't forget my own personal hygiene..Oh and she won't really take a nap so that just makes it harder. Is this normal, does it get better? 

Some parents are like welcome to "real" parenthood because Rylee has been out of the norm for most babies but can she really have a complete 180? I may be over exaggerating a tiny bit but I seriously can't get anything done. She obviously needs her mom right now but its exhausting. The cuteness of it is a small part that you can see her excitement that mom is gong to pick her up and she looks for me..As Serene says "oh Jamee your freedom is gone and Baylee still sometimes does that"  

Babe she may just be our only kid...

Rylee went in for her "6month" check up the other day..we are a little behind because she was sick at her 4month check up so we didn't do shots till later.
HT in 27.50 88%

She has kinda  plat-toed and defiantly is not growing a pound a week anymore. She still has all her rolls but she is getting longer and the doc said she is as big a one year old and should weigh 24pounds by the time she is one.
Dr. Nielsen also reassured me her whole anxiety thing is a phase and is normal.  :/
We also didn't get the greatest news and Rylee has to go see a bone doc because one of her legs is a little fatter than the other and so Doc has not been able to see if her legs are lined up right. We took an X-ray just for the piece of mind of the doc but turns out there might be something wrong...I just started to cry when she called..I know she may just need a splint or something but she is my baby  .. Rusty hopes they don't have to break her leg and I'm like uh wow thanks for going to the extreme ..
I'll give updates next week..

We spent memorial weekend in Tucson

Grandma loves swinging with her grand babies 

The cosmetology girls got together! We were missing Andrea who is on a mission!  

I put on Kortnee's glasses 

 She makes me laugh at all the positions i find her in while she sleeps.

 We drove home on Monday and went swimming with the Edwards side of the fam

 Leah and Rylee

 I gotta say Rylee looks more and more like Rusty as she gets older then i see my baby picture and go idk she looks a lot like me too!

Where to begin man am I so glad I did family pictures!
 I keep putting that kinda thing off and i keep regretting it and man can i just say how great they turned out!
I have admired Cherise and her work forever and I finally was like hey she is moving I need to do this it's now or never!
I planned for literally months on colors and what to wear and then how am I gunna have Rylee has happy as she can be for them!
After them i was exhausted so was baby riles who crashed the second she was in her carseat but then 2 in the morning came and i was wide awake forever and couldn't sleep because i was so anxious to see them!
I know she said she felt pressure to do a good job because she didn't want to disappoint and she didn't!
And shout out to my man who did not complain once for the whole 2hrs about taking pictures when it had to be like 90* weather (oh it was hot) and holding a 20lb baby is not easy! He knew how much I wanted this and also I think that since he had to pay for it too he was a little anxious of how they would turn out as well!
My mom helped give Rylee some good naps in before and I fed her right before and actually got to right in between which helped with her mood!

My prayers were answered let me tell you!

Can I just say this picture makes me smile and thats why i blew it up and its now hanging on my wall because she makes my day..that smile^ makes my day everyday and I can't imagine why Heavenly Father let me bring her into this family and I get to call my own and be her mom but I am grateful everyday that she is here to bring a light into this dark world because its scary out there. She is now 6months and I bet she will be crawling here in no time she is a roller and she so badly wants to move and does her superman look which just makes me laugh. It's like that is her "take a break" from kicking so much trying to inch her way around then stops to do this and I'm like this seems much more tiring!

She knows how to grab onto the carpet and turn her around in a full 360 and now in the morning wakes up on her back when she went to sleep on her stomach! She sits up really well and can almost just do it be herself till she looks behind herself and gets distracted and falls over! 

No teeth yet but when she has a bad day i like to blame it on she's teething haha but I've been saying that for months now! Miss Leah already has 4 but I am not complaining at all!

 Rylee has also found her voice a little bit but its grunts and giggles! She makes this sigh and resembles a killer whale but she is still a very happy baby! She responds well to her name and defiantly knows who I am because I sometimes will walk away and she cries but if I come back just in the room I don't need to pick her up or anything and she is fine again..lil stinker.. 

Also she is doing better with food (I need to get better with feeding her it everyday) but she likes it and loves the carrots man she gets mad when i pull it away just to get more of it!

 She still wears lots of 9/12month clothes and wears size 4 diapers.

 She still has her rolls but she is lengthening out! 

She does lots of raspberries and sticking out her tongue again! She reaches for everything especially the phone! She almost slid right off the couch so I no longer leave her on there if I'm not right there to be with her! 

She is so intrigued with little kids and babies it makes her happy and laugh for no reason! Also the 2 girls I baby sit the lil dog named poncho she laughs while she tries to touch him. She has found a love for water and will be totally content with drinking that! 

She is the noisiest little eater and the only time she cries is in between switching her its like right before I'm like okay its time to eat and she is fine but i lay her down to eat she gets upset till she latches on and then when i go to switch she is even more upset and then when she is done she is back to being fine again! It's so weird!

 But I think I'm seeing a little more Rusty in her looks then me as she gets older! Which is fine because i feel that Moriah looks like the girl version of Rusty and if my daughter looks like her that is a blessing! 

My mom is determined to get her to like this swing....you aren't in this family if you don't like the swing. It's not that she hates it but it scares her and she tightens up and hold on tight to my mom.

Rylee met her first "chocolate" guy (thats what he said himself :)) and she liked him! He came to take Kort to prom and had an awesome time! 

Did I do good or what and picked this beauty of a dress out!! ^^

A few weeks ago Rylee cried every time she went to my dad but luckily it was a fluke and she loves him again! He told her that Brinley was going to get all the christmas money! 

Their first fight and man I laughed the whole time! Rylee pulled Brinleys headband and snapped it on her face which was hilarious and then Brinley turned and grabbed her ear and pulled her down! 

This is the best picture of them! I just love it! 

Rylee..giving kisses or trying to eat her...you decide! 

Kort ran in the state track meet and so the grandparents came and so glad to see them and have them see the grand babies or should i say great and great great grand babies! 

I didn't dare have Grandma Great hold Rylee since she thought Brinley was heavy and Rylee has like 10 more pounds on her! 

I came from some great women and I love them! 

(My middle name is named after my great grandma Marie Webster and my dads mom Marie Hiatt and Grandma Fortie is the best and is always there for her  (12) grand kids and has made it to the most important things in each of our lives)

Josh and Ashley are hopefully going to close on a house soon! and We and I mean Ash have learned to make moccasins for our babies! Cherish is pretty sure she passed her nursing test! Rusty is busy and doing ebay like the rest of the fam :) Things are looking good for Serene and Josh and her blood work! Ron is still healing from shoulder surgery but doing good! (Still trying to convince them to move here but i think they will go on a mission soon before that happens) Kortnee is going to be a senior which is crazy! Josh and Aubs are doing good and Josh is doing good at starting his law firm! Moriah and Brad I wished we got to hang out with them more  :) and Eli and Siciley are on this diet that looks hard but I've heard great things about and wish i had the will power myself to do and finishing school! Ethan well we should speak more to him but he's in school too and hopefully going on lots of dates! ;) 

My post are always forever long but I feel that I have lots to say and to catch up on and this family is huge and Rusty and I feel that we run around with our heads chopped off cuz we are so busy!
