Where is the time going? It makes me so sad to think my little Ryleigh is not so little anymore. She is not far away from being 1 and she won't be my baby anymore. She is constantly changing and doing new things.
Here's what Ryleigh is up to:
-She usually eats 3 meals a day. Yogurt for breakfast, fruit and veggie for lunch and dinner. She is taking 6 oz bottles too. She has mastered drinking out of a sippy cup and can even hold it herself for a few seconds before dropping it. She loves to snack on Yogurt Melts and she also had her first cracker.
-She loves to bounce. She jumps in her exersaucer all the time and even when I hold her hands and she is standing, she is trying to bounce.
-She is sitting up unassisted all the time now. She rarely topples over anymore.
-Every toy that she picks up, immediately goes to her mouth.
-She has developed a love for Nick Jr. Anytime I turn it on for Emma, Ryleigh stops and watches it too.
-A few weeks ago I stopped giving her her Zantac for her reflux. I thought that she had gotten to the point where she didn't really need it. But then she started waking up 5 times a night which was very unlike her. At the time I didn't think of it being the reason she was waking up, but a few nights ago we started giving it to her again before bed and she is sleeping much better. She will usually sleep from 8:00-5:00, get up and eat, and then go back to sleep until 7 or 8.
-This month she started sitting in high chairs at restaurants and also in shopping carts. She loves being able to sit up and look around. It has really made her a happier baby.
-She also stayed with Nana and Papa for the first time. (technically, her first babysitters) She did wonderful!
-She is still wearing her cloth diapers at home and also some when we go out. We decided to buy her fall clothes based on her wearing disposables because to get her pants to go over a cloth diaper, we would have to get 18-24 month pants and then they would be 6 inches too long. But she is wearing her cloth diapers most of the time so that's ok with me.
-She is in a size 3 diaper and she can wear anything from 9-18 month clothes.
-She went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and weighs about 20 1/2 lbs. She is definitely a big baby. I was updating both of their baby books yesterday and discovered that Emma weighed the same thing Ryleigh does now when she was a year old!
-She does wonderful going to sleep. I can usually lay her down in her crib and pat her back for a minute or two and then she falls asleep.
-She is still a mama's girl. There are a few people that she will go to for a little bit, but most everyone else, her bottom lip comes out within a few seconds.
-On Sunday, she will be going to the zoo for the first time with my whole family. I can't wait. I know she will have no idea what's going on, but I'm glad that she and Emma are experiencing it together for their first time.
-She loves when Emma plays with her. Her face lights up everytime.
She is such a sweet and wonderful little girl. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
