9 Months! No way!

A few people have asked me recently how old Rylee was to which I replied 8 months old. I was confused when I got a phone call for a reminder for her 9 month Dr. checkup....because she wasn't 9 months yet......until laying in bed one night Chad said, "she is nine months old.....!" We both had missed a whole month some how of this little one growing! Yes she is 9 months old and well on her way to being mobile!

She's discovered toes and swinging.
 She started pushing her self up at the beginning of the month and I knew it would't be long before she was mobile! I captured this funny picture at grandmas.

 She often gets stuck under the trampoline when she gets rolling around. Such a cute drooly smile!
 All her siblings love to hold her. Even Bri has started asking often to hold Ry Ry!
 She started getting some snacks this month too. We started with a big steak fry! She was in heaven. She loves little snackies and loves to eat with her TWO new teeth that popped up this month!
This little one is such a blessing. She brings me joy every day and I'm often trying to suck in every moment of her being little because she is probably the caboose for our family. I almost cried at a mall when we passed a rack of tiny little Easter dresses knowing that I probably will never get to buy a tiny little dress that small ever again! :( I sure love these tiny bodies but it is so fun to watch them grow too. Love you RyRy! Thanks for all the smiles you bring to me every day. You are so sweet and just what I needed!

FROZEN on Ice

It's not often that I get to spend some one on one time with my oldest girl! So when Frozen on Ice came to Utah I knew I needed to escape with her. She was so excited and chose an Elsa dress to wear for the evening. 
 Sporting some expensive street swag.....

 She was very surprised to see Minnie & Mickey come out and all the princesses! She kept gasping when the next one came out. I wish I would have gotten a picture of her face, but I was busy also being captivated. One of my memories from going to Disneyland as a kid was walking back to our car and it was dark and everyone was tired. We walked past the ice where the Disney on Ice show was going on. I wanted to watch SOOOO bad, but no one else did so we kept moving. I watched as long as I could over my shoulder as we walked away. So in a way it was a dream of mine too.
 The show was so cute and it was well worth the cost of tickets and $10 popcorn.
 We loved the inflatable ice monster!
It was a fun night out with Miss Mollie and it helped strengthen our relationship at a time it was struggling. I sometimes think she get treated like the middle child because we are often busy with helping carter with school work and sports and always busy with the younger two and she is so independent she sometimes gets brushed aside. I'm working on this! She is my biggest helper and my sanity some days! Especially when it comes to helping with the younger girls. Sure love you miss mol! You have grown into a kind, smart and beautiful young girl! I'm so proud of all you've accomplished.
