2 years...

Here is a post that is actually current!!! That is something new for me!

On this day, two years ago today at 7:39 am, our little Princess, Rylee, was born and our lives were forever changed! I can't believe that my baby girl is now 2!!! I am working on a post of all the things she can do at 2 and what a BIG girl she is now and all the things we love about her, but for this post, I wanted to take a little flashback of my baby girl! It seems like not that long ago I was holding her for the first time!
Brand new baby Rylee weighing in at 7 lbs and 7 oz and 19 1/2 inches long Here is some of what I wrote in my journal the first time I got to meet Rylee, a few hours after my C-section:
"Darren was such a cute little daddy. He was so excited about her and how pretty she was and all her hair. When I met Rylee , she was so wide awake and alert and checking everything out. She had such big, beautiful eyes - She was perfect! She has the cutest round face and big eyes and a perfect little nose and the cutest, pouty mouth. She has long eyelashes and I can't believe how much hair...tons and tons of dark hair!"

Our first family photo with our new addition!
Isn't this the most proud and excited brother you have ever seen???Only a few days home for the hospital and already smiling!!! My good friend in Vegas took these for me when Rylee was about 2 weeks and 1 month old (It took 2 sessions!!!) They are some of my most special pictures - I love them! Isn't she a beautiful baby???

Growing up too fast - This picture is one of my favorites when she was 5 months old

At one, Rylee still seemed like a baby to me, but now she is quickly becoming a toddler (and sometimes seems to be on the fast track to teenager!) These are her 1st Birthday pictures from last year. I can't believe how much she has grown!

We love our baby Rylee! And even though she is growing up much too quickly, she will always be our baby girl! We love her smiles and laughs!!!

Happy Birthday Baby girl!!! We are so glad that you are a part of our family and you make us all so happy. We love you so much!
