Seventeen Months

In honor of Ryleigh's seventeenth month on this Earth, I thought maybe I'd put up some pictures.  It's becoming increasingly difficult to actually get a picture of her since once she sees the camera she immediately thinks the camera is a toy for her to play with.  She then whines and cries if you don't give it to her, and if you do give it to her, she either drools on it or throws it.

I don't want to say that our little princess is turning into our little hellion because I'm sure she's not that bad compared to some.  But she is no longer "becoming" a toddler...she is a full blown toddler and she is getting very good at testing those boundaries and letting us know what she thinks about things (with high pitched squeals).  She is using sign language (more, butterfly, bird, random things), saying "please" & "thank you", using the potty when put on it, recognizing colors, shapes and animals.  So overall, we think she is a genius!

I don't know...you be the judge....

the excitement in uncontrollable when Olivia comes on

"Excuse me, we're trying to work here!"

ready for summer!

when it's empty, if you turn it over, it becomes something to chew on

clearly this is the most comfortable way to watch TV

Mommy was getting in the way of watching Olivia

"What? Am I not supposed to be in here?"
