Another 1st

Rylee got her first haircut yesterday. Don't fret, I didn't chop off the mullet. I secretly love it too much to do that! Gaga just gave it a little trim to even up some uneven growth.

I didn't take a picture, but I did save the little curls (all two of them). Not sure why, I guess just because it's tradition.

Jon gets in tonight so the next week will be extra busy. Not sure if I'll get much posting in. And then it's back to FL already!

Tinkle

Rylee had her first tinkle in the potty today. :)

Potty training is still a ways off, but it was cute to see how proud she was of her "accomplishment."
Here she is giving herself a little clap.

Sophisticated

Since kids always seem to get the worst traits from each parent, I'm sure Rylee is destined to wear glasses. Luckily she likes to wear glasses anyway...





...and they make her look more mature! :)





Maybe too mature? In this one it looks like she's wearing bifocals by the way she's holding the phone at arm's length!

Crosslake Trip

Today we made our summer trip up to Crosslake. We skipped Rafferty's (since I've already eaten it twice this week - three times if you count leftovers!) and went to Zorbaz instead. We didn't order their pizza though, we got macho nachos. Thanks, Chels, for the recommendation - they are the best nachos ever!

I also worked in a stop at my favorite gift shop and made my yearly Barbie doll dress purchase. The dress is plain but come with a cool scarf/shawl thing.





I can't wait till Rylee gets to Barbie doll stage. :)

TGIF everyone!

Lazy

I'm starting to hate texting my blog from this phone. It's time consuming and I'm always making mistakes. Argh!

Anyway, we've had some fun days here. Rylee's cousins arrived so she's been enjoying playing with them. I took some cute pics but haven't had the Internet connection to post them yet. I keep forgetting to snap some pics with the cell phone camera. Again, argh!

I do have one funny, non-grumpy story to relate. :) A week or so ago, I woke Rylee up from a late nap and told her that Papa was already home from work. She was sitting in the pack n play and all of a sudden she started to sing song a little cha-cha beat: "papa done work.". Her little arm movements matched and everything. It was so out of the blue and so cute!

She sings it every night now when my dad comes home. Maybe I can get video of it some day, I'm not really doing it justice!

In other news, Jon will be here in a week - yeah! Rylee and I have sure been missing him.

That's all. My fingers are cramping...

Lisa's Farm

A week or so ago, I took Rylee to my cousin's farm. She loved it - especially the horses. She also played with a friend on the trampoline. What a day! It's been so long since I uploaded these photos that I don't remember what they are, but I'm sure they're cute! :)

Happy Father's Day!

Blogger was not cooperating with me tonight so the cute Father's Day video Rylee made for her Daddy won't be shown here. I did manage to get it up on Facebook though so I'll have to be satisfied with that.

Jon, thanks for being a wonderful husband and father (not to mention chef, landscaper, garbage collector and spider killer). Rylee and I love you and miss you. See you soon...

Happy Father's Day to my Dad too - the nicest, hardest working, most sacrificing Dad I know. You are truly the best.

Rylee is treasuring this time with her Papa. Here are a few pics of them hanging out: dancing (something they both love) and watching Handy Manny (Rylee has turned Papa into a huge fan and I'm not being sarcastic!)

Happy Father's Day to all you great Dad's out there!
