What's Going on in the little World of Rylee?

Guess what! Guess what! I got a new "BIG GIRL" bed!! It's a Tinkerbell bed with a beautiful canopy! This is a picture of me after my first night in it! As you can see, I made my way to the opposite end of the bed and was so comfortable that I have one foot hanging off the bed. It's great!

Guess who is POTTY TRAINED!!!!!??? ME!! yay!! Here I am sitting on my potty. After months and months of my poor Mommy and Daddy trying, I finally did it all by myself! And I get special gum every time I use the potty! No more diapers! Big girl panties! What could be better!! So far...so good!!

Mommy and I went to the beach with Mommy's friend Lori from work. She has 2 girls named Jaylen and Jillian who are 8 and 9 years old. We had soo much fun!

Just catching some sun out on the beach!

After a long day on the beach and a long night of shopping!

Here I am with Jillian, Jaylen and Lori at Broadway at the Beach.

Here I am getting ready for my pre-school class! It's so much fun! I even pick out my own clothes and tell Mommy how to do my hair. It's fun to make decisions on my own!

My Progress Report!

Hi Friends and Family! Just wanted to give you a quick update about my school! I'm moving into the Older Twos room Monday (Aug. 10). I'm still working on potty training.

My progress report from school says "Rylee is really coming out of her shell and we are excited about it. She has a bubbly personality and loves to make people laugh".

Oh and did you know that my blog is officially 2 years old now! Mommy and I were flipping back to when I started it at 6 months old! I've changed sooooo much!

I miss you all and send you lots of love and kisses! I'm having a great summer and I hope you are too!

Happy Birthday to my Mommy.....

NC Zoo!

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THE ZOO!

Stopping to enjoy some lunch at the zoo!

I love birds!

And lunch is GOOOOOD!!!!

The gorillas were really fun to watch!

This ostrich came right up to us - he looks really funny up close!

My favorite part about the zoo are the "ephalants"

Some of the kids at the zoo need to be on a leash!

"Daddy what are those?"

Daddy and me checking out the zebras

Days of the Week!!

Look what I learned at school!! I can sing the days of the week! I'm growing up so much and getting really smart!

Dancin the night away!

After the fireworks and parade ~ we went back and had a big cook out at the neighbors house. We played games and danced and ate! It was sooo much fun!! I didn't go to bed until 11:00! The video is a little dark but I'm in the striped dress.

4th Of July FUN!!!

My Daddy and me!

Mommy and me - we're so festive!

So glad my Aunt Heather joined us for fireworks and spent the day at the pool with us!

D and R and me walking to lunch!

Look!! I got a pretty butterfly painted on my face!
Ofcourse I had to do a little dancing for everyone!
Mommy's camara doesn't do justice to how beautiful the fireworks were!
I enjoyed running around and dancing!
My neighbor, H - she's oodles of fun! Sitting out with friends to see the fireworks!
Aunt Heather and Daddy relaxing in the sun ready for fireworks!
I got a little scared at first of the fireworks so my sunburned Mommy covered my ear so it wouldn't be so loud
Then I was brave enough to lay out with D to watch the fireworks!
I loved the horses and carriage at the parade!
After the parade with D and R - we had so much fun walking downtown!
D and R taught me how to make funny faces! CHEEEEESE! Here's my funny face!

I got to hold a sparkler!
I was all decked out ready for the Fireworks!
